Modular Homes Fire Safety Systems

Smart Mist are proud to announce that they are the nominated supplier of the high-pressure water mist fire suppression system for modular homes designed and constructed by Beattie Passive, who are based in Norwich, for their Passivhaus build system.

Fire Suppression For Modular Homes

All modular build properties supplied by Beattie Passive in both Scotland and Wales, and in accordance with legislative directives from both the Scottish Government and the Welsh assembly, must include fire suppression in all habitable rooms in all new homes, including bathrooms over 5m²and cupboard spaces over 2.5m². Although currently not a legislative requirement in England, more and more new homes, traditional build or otherwise are being looked at in regard to fire safety and the need to provide safe dwellings for home owners, leaseholders and tenants alike. Fire suppression systems will become a standard feature of new homes in England sooner rather than later similarly to the inclusion currently of linked fire detection systems.

The Smart Mist suppression system was selected by Beattie Passive on the basis of ease of installation, its ability to meet strict dimensional criteria within the pre-designed units, the systems compliance to BS8458:2015 for performance and be aesthetically pleasing for the end user. Whilst cost was a consideration it was not the principal driving force for system selection.

The system is simply and seamlessly installed at the Beattie factory in Norwich during the construction process of each individual unit.

Smart Mist Global’s accredited installer (Pro-Mist) has a permanent presence on the factory site to work alongside Beattie Passive.

Modular Buildings and their place in the house building sector

The housing crisis, skills shortages and a lack of affordable homes continue to plague the UK. While both house builders and policymakers grapple with solutions to build new homes quickly, modular construction has been hailed by many in the industry as a possible answer to solve some of these challenges.

Modular construction is a process which involves constructing elements of a building offsite in a factory-controlled setting before being transported to site for assembly.

The process uses the same materials, standards and codes as conventionally built facilities and is undertaken under controlled plant conditions, but the process is completed in around half the time 13 weeks of a traditionally built home of 26 weeks. The buildings are produced in “modules” that are put together on site.

Benefits of modular homes

Build homes up to 30% quicker than traditional building practices

Less risk of complaints about noise and disruption

Generally unaffected by the weather and other environmental delays

More environmentally friendly – the process generates less waste

Reduces the risks of accidents and related liabilities for workers
