Modern buildings place new demands on fire safety å and it's about more than installing a sprinkler system and hoping it's sufficient.

Studies show that fire suppression systems in older buildings often don't cover the risk profile that exists today.

Why Don't Old Systems Always Fit?

  • New materials: Many buildings now have sensitive electrical components or valuable IT equipment that can't tolerate water damage å making traditional sprinklers an incomplete solution.
  • Sustainability: Today's requirements for environmentally friendly solutions mean that clean-agent systems and water mist are becoming more relevant. It's no longer enough to choose "the cheapest option".
  • Maintenance cost: Older systems may require more frequent service, and parts can become disproportionately expensive to source.
  • Building regulations: When renovating or upgrading, there may be requirements to upgrade fire safety to today's standard å meaning the old system must be replaced or supplemented with modern solutions.

How Modern Systems Provide Value

  • Efficient: Water mist systems use less water but provide effective fire suppression. Clean-agent systems extinguish without leaving chemical residues or water damage.
  • Less downtime: Less damage to equipment enables faster resumption of operations after any fire.
  • Documentable: New technology often provides better logging and documentation, which strengthens board reports and makes it easier to document safety to insurance companies.
