Installation
Installation of these systems is not as disruptive as you imagine, all the pipe is concealed behind walls and floors.
A variety of different sprinkler heads are avaiable and there are also concealed heads which fit flush with walls and ceilings and come in various colours to match your requirements.
Most rooms only require 1 or 2 sprinkler heads and in most cases can be fed from the mains water supply, though in some cases an alternative water source may be required in the form of a storage tank and pump.

Information
Its safe to say that almost everybody will have smoke alarms fitted in their property, but how many people test these on a regular basis?
Even those of us who do regularly test our smoke alarms can't be 100% dependent on them to give us an indication that a fire has started within our property.
What if you aren't at home to hear it?
What if you have hearing difficulties?
What if you are a deep sleeper?
There are many factors to take into account regarding peoples state of health as to whether they could escape their properties in the event of a fire even if they have had adequate warning by a smoke alarm.
Installing a sprinkler system to our properties isn't as expensive as people may think and all premises are different so some houses may require more or less protection than others.
Fitting a sprinkler system to your property eliminates the risk of any of us losing not only our properties but ultimately our lives.
