UK-based supplier of fire detection and suppression products, Fire Suppression Ltd, is offering the latest generation of fire safety systems with improved looks to blend into customer-facing environments.
The company specialises in aspirating smoke detection systems built around VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) technology, which delivers extremely early fire warning by continuously sampling air throughout a structure. It can often detect fire before visible smoke or flames appear.
Fire Suppression manufactures its specialist VESDA pipework at their UK facility, offering their pipes in a range of colours. This design flexibility allows the pipes to blend discreetly into ceilings and walls, making them ideal for sectors – such as leisure and tourism – where appearance is important.
“VESDA represents a significant innovation in early-warning fire safety. However, these systems traditionally use bright pipework that can be visually intrusive in customer-facing environments. With our in-house manufacturing capabilities, we can configure systems using alternative pipe colours, enabling leisure and tourism venues to maintain the highest levels of fire safety without compromising visual aesthetics or customer experience” says John Martin-Chicharro, Wholesale Manager at Fire Suppression.
Due to leisure and tourism venues typically occupying large and high-ceiling areas – such as theatres, museums or indoor attractions – traditional smoke detectors can struggle to operate effectively.
Such spaces can also be used by large numbers of people, meaning safe evacuation in the event of a fire can take longer.
For these reasons, aspirating smoke detection – such as VESDA – is increasingly the preferred solution for these sectors, providing early and highly accurate fire detection while maximising the time available for safe evacuation.
“Early detection is absolutely critical in crowded public environments. Aspirating systems give venue operators the confidence to protect people from fire and, with our in-house manufactured pipes, we can also ensure the system’s pipes complement the property’s surroundings too!” adds John.
Fire Suppression are a trusted UK-based supplier and manufacturer of high-performance fire detection and suppression systems, supporting sectors including retail, commercial, industrial, leisure and tourism.
As a supplier, they work closely with property managers and fire system installers, offering bespoke system design services and expert customer support.
