Open Plan
& Modern Living
Enjoy contemporary layouts without compromising safety. iMist high-pressure water mist fire suppression supports open-plan designs by controlling fire at its earliest stage, helping maintain safe escape routes while preserving the spacious feel modern living demands. Our systems integrate discreetly into ceilings and can be installed in new builds, renovations, and retrofit projects, allowing homeowners to achieve modern layouts while meeting Building Control requirements.
Supporting Safe, Open-Plan Living
Open-plan layouts remove internal barriers to create space, light and connection. However, combining kitchens, living areas, and escape routes can increase fire risk and make safe evacuation more challenging in the event of a fire.
Fire Suppression helps control flames and smoke, supporting safe escape and helping layouts meet fire safety guidance.

Why is Fire Suppression a Requirement in Hotels & Hostels?
Protection of Occupants
Hotels and hostels often house hundreds of people at a time, many of whom may be sleeping, disoriented, or unfamiliar with escape routes. Fire suppression provides immediate control of a fire, buying critical time for evacuation.
Regulatory Requirements
Hospitality venues fall under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and UK Building Regulations. Compliance with these regulations often requires active fire suppression measures to ensure the safety of guests and staff.
Minimising Fire Spread
Fires in hotels can spread rapidly due to furnishings, bedding, and communal areas. Mist systems suppress flames while reducing smoke and heat, giving occupants valuable time to escape before the fire service arrive on site.
Protection of Staff, Property & Business Continuity
A fire can devastate a hotel or hostel, leading to extensive repair costs, business closure, and reputational damage. Suppression systems help protect the building, reduce downtime, and safeguard the livelihood of staff and owners.
Insurance & Liability
Many insurers require active fire suppression for hospitality properties. Installing a system can not only reduce premiums but also limit legal liability in the event of a fire.
Supporting Safe Evacuation
Guests may not respond quickly or know evacuation procedures. Suppression slows the fire’s growth, allowing staff to manage evacuation safely and effectively.
