Old buildings are particularly susceptible to fire damage, a large number of heritage buildings are damaged by fire every year. Automist Smartscan provides effective fire suppression ideal for water sensitive applications such as cultural heritage applications. It is a dry pipe non-pressurised system which removes the risk of burst pipes. Unlike a wet pipe system, dry sprinklers are free of water until a fire is detected. The unique spray head is subtly mounted on a sidewall, so it can even be used in rooms with decorative ornamental plaster ceilings with centres, ceiling rings, ceiling roses, and cornices.
Stopping a fire before it really starts, with as little water damage as possible is key in avoiding the loss of architectural heritage like we have seen in case of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

"It is “astonishing” that as many as 800,000 defective tumble dryers could still remain in people's homes four years after Whirlpool revealed they are a fire risk, MPs have said."

'With measured belief in their concept, enormous persistence, and, critically, the wisdom, knowledge and help of independent third-party testing, they have amassed an undeniable independent weight of evidence that it works. It proves that great ideas will win through. The Smartscan was launched in February 2016'
