Plumis Automist has been installed in this semi-detached house in Walton on Thames to provide an innovative fire safety solution.
Client: Anton Nguyen
Type of Construction: Loft Conversion letting the client have an open plan design in their living room without having to install a wall.
Product Used: Plumis Automist Fixed Head System
Accredited installed: Vapourmist Solutions Ltd
“The system is well disguised and blends in with the décor, it was well installed and the pump is hidden
away in a cupboard.”
Anton was having a loft conversion and was advised by his builder that he would need a fire safety solution to meet building regulations, as there is an open staircase to the first floor.
Initially Anton was only installing the system to meet building regulations but soon discovered that the misting system will suppress the fire long enough for his family to evacuate safely.
By installing the misting system the client did not have to create a wall to divide the living room with the staircase as well as not having to install fire rated doors for all the first rooms.
