Why Install Fire Sprinkler Systems?

Fire sprinkler systems are an essential component of fire protection methods and systems, offering a cost-effective, high protection solution that can help protect the wellbeing of your employees and the building they inhabit.

Protect Employees

Installing an effective fire sprinkler system, alongside other vital fire safety measures, such as smoke alarms, fire doors, extinguishers and exit points, will serve to protect you, your property and the health of your employees in the event of a fire. It’s believed that properties that use these traditional fire safety methods in conjunction with sprinkler suppression systems can reduce the risk of fire-related death by upwards of eighty per cent. 

Cost-Effective

When compared with the considerable costs of damage to your property caused by fire, installing a sprinkler system as a safety measure is a cost-effective method of preventing serious fire damage. Most sprinkler systems will cost a fraction of the overall property value and will help to protect it when it truly matters.

Reduce Damage

As an extension of the above, installing a fire sprinkler system will, as mentioned, reduce the overall damage caused by fire to your property, but it will also prevent the damage caused by spray water from fire response units. Fire brigade water cannons are highly powerful and use excessive amounts of water which can practically destroy the structural integrity of a building. Sprinkler systems, however, produce far less water, preventing both severe water and fire damage in equal measure.

Lower Insurance

Paying insurance premiums on commercial buildings, particularly those with an increased risk of fire, can be costly. Worse still, if you do suffer fire damage, those insurance premiums are going to skyrocket, and you’ll be left paying significantly more in the long run. Installing effective fire safety measures, such as a fire sprinkler system, will reduce your insurance premiums dramatically, in some cases, by up to 15%.



Increase Value

A commercial property or home that has an effective fire sprinkler system installed is a far more attractive prospect for a potential buyer, particularly in commercial industries, due to the preventative measures it provides in the event of a fire. This means the value of the property will be increased.
