Design, supply,
installation
and maintenance
of fire safety
sprinkler systems.
domestic
/ residential
fire sprinklers
We
are experiencing
high and growing
demand for sprinkler
systems for
residential
properties.
Examples are
conversion from
hotels to apartments,
attic conversions
and conversions
of terraced
housing into
flats.
Here
is a range of
some of the
domestic sprinkler
installations
we have completed:-
- Twenty
newly built
apartments
in Durham.
- A Methodist
church converted
into four
houses in
Blaydon, Tyne
& Wear.
- Conversion
of a cottage
hospital to
apartments
in Rothbury,
Tyne &
Wear.
domestic / residential
sprinkler spec
We can design
domestic systems
which are fully
sprinklered
to BS9251:2005,
or engineered
(subject to
approval from
building control)
for a partial
sprinkler system
to give a means
of escape.
An example
of the latter
is the conversion
of a hotel to
apartments in
Lemington Tyne
& Wear.
In two of the
apartments we
have engineered
an acceptable
sprinkler system,
with building
control, to
provide an escape
route from the
bedrooms, in
the event of
a fire in the
kitchen, living
room and at
the landing
of the staircase.
We also installed
heat detection
to give advanced
warning of potential
fire.
Typically the
pipework is
"Blazemaster"
CPVC - fully
approved by
LPCB and FM.
The pipework
is a bright
orange colour,
readily identifiable
below floorboards,
with a typical
sprinkler "concealed"
with only the
while cover
plate visible,
giving a pleasing
aesthetic appearance.
On the domestic
water supply
to the house
we will typically
fit a priority
valve. This
powers shut
if a sprinkler
activates, maximising
the water flow
to the sprinkler.
Fire Logs also
install an alarm
system to give
audible warning
both inside
and out side
the property
should the sprinkler
system need
to operate.
In the majority
of cases, the
sprinkler control
and alarm equipment
can be installed
in an accessible
location, without
impacting life
in the house.
