Protecting hotels from fire hazards

Premises with sleeping accommodation always require high levels of fire protection. The large number of overnight guests and staff in hotels, as well as the presence of ‘hot-spots’ in hotel kitchens, for example, presents specific hotel fire hazards.

In this context, an automatic fire sprinkler system is advisable as it will react quickly to fire outbreaks without the need for human activation.

Armstrong Priestley Sprinkler systems offer an ideal form of fire protection for hotels of all sizes.

Why are automatic fire sprinkler systems ideal for hotels?

Automatic sprinkler systems are an ideal way to safeguard guests and staff in hotels for several reasons.

Reliable and effective

Recent research on behalf of the Scottish government, which included an analysis of hotel fires, found that fire sprinkler systems were highly effective and reliable.

The study showed that automatic sprinkler systems installed in hotels activated appropriately and controlled fires effectively.

Bespoke design

Our automatic sprinkler systems are all bespoke, which means we can design and install fire sprinkler systems for all types and sizes of buildings, including modern, purpose-built hotels and older buildings being repurposed.

Flexible design

Fire protection coverage is provided by sprinkler heads, and our flexible designs allow for the installation of additional sprinkler heads in high-risk areas, such as hotel kitchens and electrical service rooms.

Early warning of fire

The sensitivity of our sprinkler heads enables fires to be detected and controlled before they can spread and cause significant damage.

This feature offers a high level of protection while also ensuring that hotel guests and staff members have sufficient time to evacuate the building.

Aesthetically sensitive

We understand that hotels require a high level of interior design, and our pipes and sprinklers can be installed discreetly to preserve aesthetics, but without compromising on safety and effectiveness.

How do hotel fire sprinkler systems work?

Fire sprinkler systems detect and suppress fires before they spread, saving lives and protecting property.

Sprinkler systems typically consist of pipes to carry water and sprinkler heads to disperse the water.

The sprinkler heads contain glass phials of heat-sensitive liquid. When the temperature around the phial is increased by fire, the liquid expands, placing the glass of the phial under pressure. Eventually, the glass smashes, and pressurised water or a water mist is released to suppress the flames.

Our sprinkler heads are highly effective heat detectors, ensuring that the flames are detected immediately.

Why is fire sprinkler servicing so essential?

Fire safety regulations require hotel owners to regularly inspect their fire sprinkler systems to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Our fire sprinkler systems are carefully designed to provide the highest level of fire protection through interconnecting pipes and sprinkler heads. Even if just one sprinkler head malfunctions, it can significantly impact the entire system’s effectiveness.

Sprinkler systems also contain parts, such as valves, that require regular inspections, as they may deteriorate over time.

We offer a range of packages to suit every budget and hotel size.

Other essential methods of fire safety equipment

Hotel owners must also take additional precautions, in addition to a fire sprinkler system, to protect their hotel guests.

These include the following;

Fire extinguishers

All hotel rooms should have their own fire extinguishers to ensure rapid response to small fires. Extinguishers should also be located elsewhere in the building, particularly in high-risk areas, such as hotel kitchens.

Emergency lighting

Lighting may be compromised in an electrical fire, so backup emergency lighting is essential to help hotel guests evacuate safely.

Fire breaks

Fire breaks with fire doors in corridors prevent the rapid spread of fire through a building.
