  • Why are fire sprinkler systems required in commercial buildings?

    Fire sprinkler systems are mandated in most commercial buildings due to local fire codes and insurance requirements. These systems have been proven effective in reducing fire damage, safeguarding occupants, and minimizing business interruptions following a fire incident.
  • What types of sprinkler systems are used in commercial properties?

    Common types of systems include:

     

    • Wet Pipe Systems: Water is always in the pipes for fast activation.
    • Dry Pipe Systems: Air pressure holds water back until sprinklers activate, which is ideal for unheated areas.
    • Pre-Action Systems: Use electronic detection to control when water enters pipes, which is common in data centers or museums.
    • Deluge Systems: All heads discharge simultaneously when triggered, which is used in high-hazard facilities.
