Fire Sprinkler Alternative

The iMist system is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fire sprinklers. 

In the event of activation, the system uses less water, fed from the town water mains, which means saving space as there isn’t a requirement for a tank. With the use of less water, this also results in less damage to the property if required to be called upon.  

If you’re looking to convert a historical property, or your existing property, the iMist system is flexible enough to retrofit, so could be the perfect solution for your renovation. 

With the demand for more housing with the growing population, renovations of existing properties is becoming increasingly popular, along with the demand for stricter fire and building regulations.
