Automist

Since their creation in the 19th century, traditional fire sprinklers whilst still effective, have essentially not been changed or updated. Automist Smartscan has a rotating spray head that directly targets fires with a powerful jet of water mist. It has been proven to achieve the same performance as residential sprinkler systems & uses 90% less water resulting in minimal water damage to the living space. Automist Smartscan is more efficient, faster to activate, more aesthetic, and less likely to result in water damage. With more than 12,000 completed installations nationwide, Automist has earned trust in the UK and the US. Another reason for its adopted use is because it employs flexible hosing and doesn’t need to be put in the ceiling, installation is often done with less interruption, less plumbing and without a tank or commercial water supply. Automist has now been confirmed as compliant with BS8458:2015 meaning approvals with both private and local authority building control is faster and easier.

Automist opens up opportunities for open plan living without sacrificing safety or breaking the law for architects and building designers. Because Automist is easy to install and is simple to commission on-site, modular builders are choosing it to ensure that prefab buildings remain fire safe. It minimises ceiling disruption for heritage homes or listed buildings that are water-sensitive, and the pump barely takes up any room. Automist is a water-main-based system that may be specifically retrofitted for sheltered housing or assisted living projects without the requirement for additional storage tanks.
