Modular Buildings
Fire Safety System
As the UK attempts to meet the demand for housing, modular properties are offering an innovative solution, providing housing with great design, quality and cost.
Fire Suppression for Modular Buildings
Modular buildings are manufactured off-site in controlled factory environments, enabling efficient construction and consistent quality. iMist fire suppression systems are perfectly suited to this modern building method. Precision Installation from Factory to Site
Our systems are installed during factory production, ensuring accuracy and quality control before units are delivered. Once positioned on site, our team completes final commissioning and adjustments to ensure full compliance and optimal performance.
Built for Modular Construction
iMist systems integrate seamlessly into modular workflows:
- Fast, non-invasive installation
- Minimal disruption to factory processes
- No delays to production schedules
Reduced Water Damage, Minimal Disruption
If activated, water mist systems use significantly less water than traditional sprinklers, helping to:
- Reduce post-fire water damage
- Minimise disruption for residents or end users
- Support faster recovery after an incident
Why is Fire Suppression a Requirement in Modular Builds?
Rapid Fire Spread in Modular Construction
- Modular buildings often use lightweight materials, timber frames, and factory-assembled components, which can burn faster than traditional structures.
- Fire suppression systems can control a fire at its early stages, preventing it from spreading rapidly throughout the modules.
Protection of Occupants
- Modular buildings are increasingly used for residential homes, care homes, and student accommodation.
- Residents may be vulnerable or unfamiliar with the building layout, so early fire suppression ensures safe evacuation.
Regulatory Compliance
- Modular builds must meet Building Regulations and fire safety legislation.
- Fire suppression is often required to satisfy regulatory approval and insurance requirements before the building can be occupied.
Minimising Property and Equipment Damage
- Fires in modular buildings can destroy entire modules quickly, causing major financial loss.
- Suppression systems reduce the risk of total loss, protecting both property and valuable contents.
Supporting Safe Evacuation and Operations
- Modular buildings may have multiple storeys, interconnected units, and tight internal layouts.
- Suppression systems buy critical time for occupants and emergency responders to safely evacuate.
Insurance and Liability Considerations
- Many insurers require active fire suppression systems for modular developments.
- Adequate fire protection can reduce premiums and help meet liability obligations.
