Types of Commercial Sprinkler Systems We Install
When it comes to keeping your Charlotte business safe, a well-designed fire sprinkler system provides complete coverage that meets your building and industry’s specific needs.
We install a wide range of fire sprinklers, including:
- Wet pipe sprinkler systems: The most common commercial installation is a wet pipe sprinkler system that constantly stores water in a pressurized pipe system. When a fire starts, the stored water is immediately released through the sprinkler heads.
- Dry pipe sprinkler systems: Unlike a wet system, a dry pipe sprinkler system doesn’t store water. This delays activation, but the system is preferred for areas prone to pipe freezing, which can cause burst piping.
- Deluge sprinkler systems: In a deluge sprinkler system, the sprinkler heads or valves are permanently open. Unlike automated systems, deluge models must be manually activated and deactivated. They’re typically installed in high-risk areas where rapid fire spread is a concern, such as industrial environments, aircraft hangars, warehouses, libraries, archives, and stadiums.
- Pre-action fire sprinkler systems: A pre-action fire sprinkler system combines elements of wet and dry systems. It’s often used where accidental activation could be problematic or where water damage must be minimized, including data centers, server rooms, museums, telecommunication facilities, historic sites, and power generation plants.
