How fire sprinkler systems protect

Planning fire protection is an obvious way to protect your family, your home and those irreplaceable possessions - photos, videos, mementos, and heirlooms - from the worst kind of catastrophe.

The main job of an integrated fire sprinkler system is to stop small fires spreading into infernos.  Keeping fires localized and small is absolutely vital because the real danger to life from fires comes not from the heat or the flames, but from the fumes.  The deadly fumes from a fire in one part of the house are able to overwhelm the occupants in their sleep, before they have had the opportunity escape.  This is one reason why fire detectors are so important - to wake sleeping occupants to the danger of the detected fumes; and why in the case of an escape you should always stay low and crawl across the floor.

So when a small fire is detected in part of the house, and the fire sprinkler system is triggered in that room, it is not just trying to put the fire out - it is also wetting the surrounding area to make it less flammable.  It can slow and stop the spread of the fire, and prevent a small fire turning into a large one.  It will be easier to put out, there will be fewer deadly fumes, and there will be substantially less property damage than an uncontrolled inferno.  It can help avert catastrophe, protect life and save your home.

How Monarch's fire sprinkler systems work

While your fresh water plumbing is installed, in engineering terms it is quite simple to add a fire sprinkler system as part of the same system.  Every time you use the faucet, fresh water is sent up the sprinkler lines to make sure that the water is fresh and not stagnant.  Sprinkler heads are installed above the ceilings, and then the water lines connected up as part of your new fresh water piping.  

Of course, the sprinkler heads are sophisticated enough to make sure that they only discharge when absolutely necessary.  They are activated by heat rather than smoke, and are rigorously engineered to ensure that they do not discharge accidentally - the odds of an accidental discharge are one in sixteen million.  The sprinkler systems are approved by the National Fire Prevention Association, and come in a range of styles (including recessed, low profile, or concealed) to blend right into your room.

A Monarch fire sprinkler system can be a very cost-effective way of adding additional fire protection to any new home that can also make it more attractive to prospective purchasers in the years to come.
