Residential fire suppression

The SmartMist residential fire suppression system is the “belt & braces” approach to home & apartment safety.

Whilst smoke detectors are a wonderful invention and save lives, the statistics state that they save lives in just over half the times when they are activated. They only detect fires. The SmartMist mist suppression system will automatically activate when a fire reaches 57 degrees.

The SmartMist system rapidly suppresses fires, allowing time for families to escape safely.

Water mist is delivered via our UK designed high pressure flush mounted water misting nozzles to best suppress fires in both domestic and residential properties.

Why SmartMist?

The SmartMist system is designed, built and fully tested in-house by our dedicated team of engineers; every aspect of the system is controlled solely by Smartmist Global in accordance with our strict design guidelines to ensure you have the best service experience possible.

The SmartMist system can be designed to suit both residential and domestic properties. Our design team have also developed a unique dual-pump operational system which provides the performance expected from the SmartMist system, with no drastic increase in plant size, maintaining the lowest water requirement possible and keeping power supplies required to a minimum.

Our straightforward installation process

Survey

Our distribution team will be in touch for surveys or to provide you with an approved floorplan of the Guardian proposal.

First Fix

Our team of engineers will attend your site, and complete a ‘First Fix’, where the pipework for the system will be installed and tested.

System Installation

The team will install the water mist head and Pump system, complete a full test, commission the system and leave your site protected.

Service

The engineers revisit annually to complete a comprehensive service, which ensures your system remains at optimal functionality.

Cost effective water mist technology

British Made & British Standard Compliant

Safety is at the heart of any fire protection system. While safety is key, it is equally important to understand what will happen should the system discharge. In compliance with the British Standards, particularly BS8458:2015, the system must discharge water for a minimum period of 10 minutes in most homes and apartments, or 30 minutes in more residential application such as care homes or HMO’s. Surely, this is a lot of water, you may ask. In comparison to a traditional 55 lpm sprinkler system, the water discharge is extremely small with watermist, with the Guardian system flowing only 12 lpm throughout the whole system.

Lower flows and higher pressure also mean that the distribution pipework that runs from the pump to each nozzle can be much smaller; this not only means installation can be quicker, but often it is much less disruptive to retro-fit into an already finished home or property. Should you be at the first fix stage, flexible hoses also mean that we are able to work more fluidly around existing services depending on the stage of the build.

Constant technology advancements, such as flow and run time monitoring integrated within the system and automated mechanical pressure regulation, allow you to have one of the most refined systems currently available. Fire protection and life safety should not cause any stress or concern regarding performance of a system. This is why we have intelligent fault monitoring, self-testing procedures and timed activations to limit water damage from false activations, should one occur.

Building Control Friendly

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.

Like all new advancements in life safety, watermist systems should be fully tested against the British Standard BS8458:2015. This shows the performance of the system is as it should be and fully certified. While validation reports are available for some systems on the market, the most reliable source of performance validation is for a full British Standard test report from an independent third party testing facility.

Space Efficient

While a typical sprinkler system often consists of a large bulky pump set, a water storage tank and large bore pipework, watermist technology is much more aesthetically appealing and can be installed into a larger variety of spaces. With this new technology, your homes, apartments, and premises can be protected simply and more cost effectively when comparing to a standard sprinkler system.

System Tender Process

Drawing and Specification Review

The SmartMist team will review your tender documents to ascertain the system requirements, cover areas and standard performance requirements.

Survey

If possible, or if requested as part of the tender, SmartMist Systems will send a trained member of our design team to your site to understand the particular risks, any site specific challenges and to understand the plant area and any issues which may arise.

Project Commencement

You will be introduced to the project manager for your project, and we will have a chance to discuss the project, any health and safety concerns or issues, and arrange project start dates and process reviews.

System Installation

The SmartMist team will review your tender documents to ascertain the system requirements, cover areas and standard performance requirements.

Training and Final Handover

On practical completion, we would hand the system over to your responsible person and ensure they fully understand the system and provide the necessary training. This will be followed with a full Operations and Maintenance Manual for your records.
