Designed to React, Not Overreact
Sprinkler heads aren’t triggered by smoke, steam, or burnt toast. They respond to heat, and only when it matters.
Each head contains a heat-sensitive element, usually a glass bulb filled with liquid or a fusible metal link.
When the temperature around the head reaches approximately 68°C, the element breaks or melts, releasing water directly onto the fire.
And here’s the key: Only the sprinkler heads nearest the fire activate. Your entire system doesn’t drench the house. It’s a targeted, measured response, designed to control the fire quickly while minimising water damage.
Built for Reliability, Not Drama
Sprinkler systems are engineered to be dependable. Accidental activations are incredibly rare and typically caused by mechanical damage or deliberate interference, not by environmental factors. In fact, properly installed systems have a 99%+ success rate in controlling fires.
Want the Facts?
We’ve put together a straightforward Fire Sprinkler Fact Sheet to help you understand how sprinklers activate, what triggers them.
We install to BS9251 and BS8458 standards, with a hands-on approach that ensures every system is tailored, tested, and trusted. We don’t cut corners and we don’t do scare tactics. Just honest, compliant protection that works when you need it most.
