SmartMist Systems is dedicated to providing care homes with state-of-the-art fire suppression systems that comply with building control regulations. Specialising in water mist fire suppression, we offer an effective, eco-friendly solution tailored to the specific needs of care homes. Our systems are designed to safeguard vulnerable residents, minimise property damage, and ensure your care home meets the highest fire safety standards.
Fire safety is a critical consideration in care homes, where residents may have mobility issues or cognitive impairments that make evacuation difficult. Fire suppression systems play a vital role in preventing fire outbreaks from spreading, giving staff more time to respond and protecting residents who may need assistance.
Our water mist fire suppression technology offers superior fire control while minimising disruption to care home operations. This innovative system uses fine water droplets to cool the flame and remove heat from the fire, suppressing it quickly and efficiently. By using significantly less water than traditional sprinkler systems, our water mist solution is not only highly effective but also reduces potential water damage.
Water mist systems use a fraction of the water required by traditional sprinklers, helping to prevent excessive water damage to property and furnishings.
Water mist rapidly cools and contains both fire and smoke, providing essential protection for residents and staff.
Our system’s discreet design means smaller pipes and flush-mounted nozzles, making it ideal for care homes where space is at a premium.
Our systems are fully compliant with BS8458:2015, ensuring that your care home meets all relevant fire safety regulations.
Building Control and Local Authorities are starting to accept watermist as a viable alternative more frequently, with some often giving favour to watermist rather than sprinklers. This is due to ongoing validation and performance testing, widespread acceptance of the new performance technology and lower structural requirements for buildings, as there are no large reinforcement works required to manage the weight of large water tanks. Also, considering that smoke alarms statistically only save lives in just over 50% of activations, watermist is a fully viable addition to your life safety and protection within your property.
Before installing a fire suppression system, it is essential to conduct a thorough Fire Risk Assessment. At SmartMist Systems, our team of fire safety experts will assess your care home to identify potential fire hazards and provide tailored recommendations for improvements.
Evaluation of Existing Fire Safety Measures: We will assess your current systems and practices to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
Bespoke Fire Suppression Solutions: We provide recommendations based on the specific needs of your care home, ensuring maximum protection for residents and staff.
Regulatory Compliance: Our assessments ensure that your care home meets the requirements of local fire safety regulations and building control standards.
Another crucial element of fire safety in care homes is compartmentation – the practice of dividing a building into fire-resistant sections to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. SmartMist Systems offers comprehensive Compartmentation Surveys to ensure your care home is properly equipped to contain any fire outbreak.
Enhanced Resident Safety: Compartmentation helps to contain fire and smoke within specific areas, giving staff more time to evacuate residents safely.
Fire and Smoke Control: Properly maintained fire-resistant compartments prevent the spread of fire, reducing the overall damage to your care home.
We ensure that all of our systems and services comply with the latest British Standards and government fire safety regulations. This guarantees not only full compliance but also the highest level of fire protection for your care home.
We understand that care homes often operate within tight budgets. Our water mist systems are designed to provide effective fire suppression while keeping costs manageable. With SmartMist Systems, you can achieve top-quality fire safety without compromising on affordability.
Fire safety equipment is only as effective as the people using it. We provide in-depth training for care home staff, ensuring they are fully equipped to operate fire suppression systems and respond effectively in an emergency.
Our water mist technology is a cutting-edge alternative to traditional sprinkler systems. It uses less water while providing superior fire suppression, making it particularly suitable for environments like care homes where both safety and minimal disruption are critical.
Low Water Usage: Using just 12 litres of water per minute, comparable to a standard shower, our system can be connected to the mains, eliminating the need for bulky water tanks.
Minimal Disruption: The smaller pipes and flexible hoses allow for quicker installation, making it easier to retrofit the system into existing care homes without causing disruption.
Advanced Monitoring: Our systems are equipped with intelligent monitoring and self-testing features, ensuring ongoing performance without requiring constant manual checks.
