Fire Safety in Heritage Buildings: iMist™ Fire Suppression Systems
Heritage-listed buildings are irreplaceable, carrying history, culture, and architectural character that must be preserved for future generations. However, their age, construction methods, and lack of modern fire protection make them especially vulnerable to fire.
The iMist™ water mist system is designed to provide discreet, reliable fire protection in these sensitive environments. Compact, efficient, and easy to retrofit, our misting solutions safeguard life and property without disturbing the unique features that make heritage buildings so valuable.
Heritage Fire Safety: Saving Britain’s History With Our Retrofit Capabilities
Every year, over 400 serious fires break out in listed and historic buildings across the UK. With many of these properties offering little to no fire protection, the damage can be devastating — and often irreversible.
Installing a fire suppression system ensures that you’re taking proactive steps to preserve the integrity of the building, protect occupants, and comply with regulatory requirements.
At iMist™, our retrofit capabilities mean we can install advanced fire suppression with minimal disruption to the fabric of the building — making us the trusted choice for architects, developers, and conservation officers.
Why is Fire Suppression a Requirement in Heritage-Listed Buildings scenarios?
Fire suppression is not only best practice but is increasingly required in heritage and listed buildings because:
Installing a compliant fire suppression system is often essential because it:
Regulatory compliance
Building Control and conservation authorities demand robust fire safety measures during renovations or changes of use.
Preservation of character
Sensitive structures and historic materials need discreet protection without invasive alterations.
Safer evacuation
Older properties often have narrow staircases, complex layouts, or limited exits. Suppression systems provide critical life safety support.
Reduced damage risk
With up to 80% less water used compared with traditional sprinklers, mist minimises both fire and water damage.
The iMist System is the perfect solution for heritage-listed buildings due to our unique ability to create custom solutions for your projects. Our flexible braided stainless-steel hose also means that we are able to install with minimal damage to the property, as well as having a solid stainless-steel option, which can be surface mounted where creating ceiling access is not possible.
