Types of Sprinkler Systems We Provide
Artius Fire Protection Ltd offers a comprehensive range of sprinkler solutions to suit different property types and protection requirements:
Wet Pipe Systems
The most common type, featuring pipes continuously filled with pressurised water for immediate discharge when a sprinkler head activates. Ideal for heated buildings where freezing isn’t a concern.
Dry Pipe Systems
Designed for unheated areas or those subject to freezing temperatures, these systems keep pipes filled with pressurised air, with water entering only when needed.
Pre-Action Systems
Perfect for areas where accidental water discharge must be avoided, these systems require dual verification (detection system plus sprinkler activation) before water is released.
Deluge Systems
Designed for high-hazard areas, deluge systems feature open sprinkler heads that simultaneously discharge large volumes of water when activated.
Residential Sprinkler Systems
Specially designed for homes and apartments, these systems use quick-response sprinklers that can contain or extinguish fires with minimal water usage.
Mist Systems
Using fine water droplets, these systems control fires with significantly less water, making them ideal for areas where water damage is a concern.
The Benefits of Automatic Sprinkler Systems
Investing in a sprinkler system for your Dartford property offers numerous advantages:
Enhanced Life Safety
Sprinklers dramatically improve occupant safety by controlling fires in their early stages, preventing flash-over conditions, and maintaining tenable environments during evacuation.
Property Protection
By containing fires quickly, sprinklers minimise property damage, often limiting fire spread to the room of origin.
Business Continuity
With sprinkler protection, businesses typically experience minimal downtime after a fire incident, with many able to resume operations within hours.
Insurance Benefits
Many insurers offer premium discounts for sprinkler-protected properties, recognising their effectiveness in reducing fire losses.
Environmental Protection
By controlling fires quickly with minimal water, sprinklers reduce fire-related pollution and water runoff compared to firefighting operations.
Design Flexibility
Modern building codes often allow design alternatives for sprinkler-protected buildings, including larger floor areas, increased travel distances, and reduced fire ratings.

Sprinkler System Myths and Facts
Despite their proven effectiveness, several misconceptions persist about sprinkler systems:
Myth: All sprinklers activate simultaneously.
Fact: Individual sprinklers respond independently to heat, with typically only 1-2 activating during a fire.
Myth: Sprinklers cause extensive water damage.
Fact: Sprinklers use 90% less water than fire hoses and activate much earlier, limiting both fire and water damage.
Myth: Sprinklers activate accidentally.
Fact: The chance of accidental activation is approximately 1 in 16 million per sprinkler head per year.
Myth: Smoke will trigger sprinklers.
Fact: Sprinklers respond to heat, not smoke, preventing activation from cooking fumes or cigarettes.
