Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems

One of the best methods to protect your home is with a well-thought-out fire sprinkler system. A fire sprinkler system is not standalone protection but will additionally safeguard a well-prepared property in conjunction with the methods outlined in this booklet. A correctly designed fire sprinkler system will completely cover the house with water and dampen the surrounding vegetation. With an adequate water supply and a well-chosen pump, it can be used to actively defend your property during a bushfire. Apart from sprinkler heads, firefighting hose outlets can also be incorporated into the system. Fire hoses can then be attached and used to put out spot fires before they spread.

Fire sprinkler systems protect our factories, office buildings, and other commercial structures from the devastating effects of fire. But what about where fires are most common – in and around our homes? Until recent years, fire sprinklers in homes were unheard of and limited primarily to high-rise buildings. Fire sprinklers, however, offer potential benefits for virtually every home. Fire sprinkler systems can save lives and reduce property loss. Residential fire sprinklers can contain or even extinguish fires in less time than it would take the fire brigade to arrive at the scene in rural areas.

Types of Residential Fire Sprinklers:

• Roof mounted sprinklers: Butterfly sprinklers are mounted along the bottom edge of roofs to provide water to wet both the roof and wall surfaces.
• Ground sprinklers: Stand-mounted butterfly or impact sprinklers are used to divert water onto the roof and wall surfaces.
• Window drenchers: Spray water onto windows, as they represent a high-risk area for ember attack to the interior of the building.
• Domestic internal sprinklers, extended to cover external risk areas, e.g., roof, doors, windows, etc.
• Garden sprinklers directed back onto the building can perform well in defending the house. For example, large ground sprinklers placed on the windward and bush sides of the house – so that the roof eaves and verandah can be kept wet – provide protection in conjunction with other measures.
• Combinations of the above.
