Fire protection for commercial buildings is designed to protect lives and valuable assets and comply with fire safety regulations.
At Armstrong Priestley, we have decades of experience providing fire safety equipment for the commercial sector.
We specialise in installing bespoke sprinkler systems designed to control a fire before it spreads. Our experience and expertise enable us to provide commercial clients with fire protection tailored to their premises and budget.
The government set out the fire safety regulations governing commercial buildings in England and Wales in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Further updates were issued in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
Building owners and managers must ensure that the buildings they are responsible for have appropriate fire safety measures to ensure the safety of the occupants or employees.
These measures should include an effective fire detection system and fire fighting equipment, such as appropriate fire extinguishers for localised fires or sprinkler systems for larger areas. Emergency lighting and a clearly marked escape route are also required.
Failure to comply with the fire safety regulations for commercial buildings may result in a fine and, in extreme cases, imprisonment.
In addition, the business owner or manager must ensure that all occupants are familiar with fire evacuation procedures and escape routes and that regular fire drills are held.
Our commercial clients rely on our expertise in installing highly effective fire sprinkler systems, which keep occupants safe and minimise damage.
Contact Armstrong Priestley for advice on protecting your property from fire and complying with all current regulations.
Typical fire safety measures for commercial spaces include a fire detection system, fire alarms, and sprinklers to suppress blazes.
An Armstrong Priestley fire protection system for a commercial context would vary in design depending on the size of the premises, the nature of your business and whether the buildings were occupied.
The design of our sprinkler system also considers other fire safety features already in place, including passive fire protection, fire doors, and designated escape routes, to maximise the safety of your occupants.
Your bespoke sprinkler system will be configured to focus on high-risk areas, such as kitchens or areas housing heat-producing activities like printing, without compromising coverage of the other regions.
You can contact us today to speak to a fire safety professional.
Our fire sprinkler systems are activated using heat detectors in the form of glass phials, which expand when the surrounding environment’s temperature rises.
A fire-suppressing agent is dispersed through the sprinkler head when the phial shatters.
Many of our systems use pressurised water mist, but other agents, including gases or foam, can be used instead if water is inappropriate for your business.
