Sprinkler systems in the home?

Home owners often ask what fire precautions are effective and economical for private houses. Sprinkler systems immediately come to mind as widely used in public buildings. When a house is at the planning stage it is child's play to incorporate fire protection. And why not choose safe materials for installations relevant to your safety?

Sprinkler systems with copper tubes create safety because they themselves are safe. They do not burn and can withstand and - these are only some of the great advantages of copper. And it is no problem to retrofit an older property with copper sprinkler systems.

How sprinkler systems work

Automatic sprinkler systems have an advantage over fire alarms because the fire is not only registered, but also immediately extinguished. Sprinkler systems open when a certain given temperature is reached (30°C above max. room temperature) and pour water over the fire area.

They only open in the vicinity of the fire. Because they react to heat, one or two sprinklers are often sufficient to extinguish small fires. Enormous water damage often occurs when the fire brigade has to be called in. Sprinklers are activated only where they are needed.
