BS 8458 Domestic and Residential Water Mist Systems

Discover the next generation of fire suppression with BS 8458 water mist from GFS Sprinklers. Our domestic and residential mist systems use ultra-fine droplets to absorb heat, displace oxygen, and quench flames while using far less water and leaving far less mess than traditional sprinklers.

Domestic Water Mist (Houses & HMOs)

Ideal for single-family homes, house-shares and HMOs, BS 8458 domestic water mist delivers powerful fire control in even the most complex floor-plans.

Benefits:

  • Rapid fire knock-down: micro-droplets burst on contact, cooling and suppressing flames within seconds
  • Up to 90 % less water usage vs conventional sprinklers, minimising water-damage and clean-up
  • Low-pressure, small-bore pipework: fits neatly in lofts, crawl spaces and existing ceilings
  • Flexible zoning: tailor head placement to multiple flats or shared lounges without bulky pipework
  • Compact plantroom requirements: no large tanks or high-pressure pumps, perfect for retrofit projects
  • Discreet finish: flush or concealed heads that blend with décor
  • Full compliance with BS 8458:2015 domestic water-mist standard

Residential Water Mist (Apartments)

Specifically engineered for multi-storey apartment blocks, BS 8458 residential mist protects corridors, lifts and all habitable rooms with minimal disruption.

 

Benefits:

  • Discreet integration: low-profile, recessed heads maintain sleek interiors
  • Minimal water storage: small tanks and low-pressure pumps free up plant-room space
  • Ultra-fast discharge: creates a protective mist-cloud, reducing smoke and heat for safer evacuation
  • Enhanced visibility: fine droplets clear quickly, helping residents and firefighters see escape routes
