Fire Sprinkler Legislation: Knowing The Law
The effects of fire damage can be entirely overwhelming, and even fatal in the most serious cases. This is why having a fire sprinkler system in place within your home or commercial building is essential in safeguarding your loved ones and property. Our fire sprinklers are pivotal in helping to save both lives and properties, and as such, legislation has been introduced to take into greater consideration the key role they play in keeping us safe.
The use of fire sprinklers and how the law requires them to be installed differs depending on property type. For example, new build residential blocks over 30m high must now be fitted with Approved Document B Standard sprinklers for the sake of life safety. Not only does the latest fire sprinkler legislation mean that a greater level of safety can be provided, it also means that a number of other practical benefits are able to come into play. Fire sprinkler installation entirely recalculates the safety requirements of a building, meaning that strict rules regarding fire protection protocols and regulations are able to be relaxed.nnIf you are considering renovation, domestic fire sprinklers will enable you to play more freely with the dimensions of your home, allowing for more open spatial designs, smaller doors and larger compartment sizes. Backyard developments also become achievable as turning circles and access points for fire engines are not required.nnDelayed evacuation times and longer travelling distances are other key advantages that may result from fire sprinkler installation. This is hugely beneficial for large properties or residential homes, where space or individuals involved may have particular and unique characteristics.
