Water mist fire suppression products for Architects

Water mist fire suppression solution for Architects

The next generation fire suppression system

The iCO Products® high-pressure water mist range offers a low cost, next generation fire suppression solution. Our patented technology is discreet and easy to install, providing faster, safer and more reliable fire suppression for homes and other residential properties such as care homes.

In the event of a fire, the system produces a fine cloud of high-pressure water mist to attack all three elements of the fire triangle (heat, oxygen and fuel), rapidly extinguishing the flames, preventing the fire from reigniting and reducing any harmful gases from spreading.

All of our products are manufactured in the UK and installed worldwide by accredited fire suppression companies.

A Guide to BS 9991:2015

The application of Automatic Fire Suppression Systems in residential buildings.

BS 9991:2015 provides a level of flexibility that allows the fire protection measures, and the associated risks, to be assessed to enable reasonable practical solutions to be designed. The guide below has been created to provide a clearer understanding of BS 9991:2015 and the design freedoms that can be achieved within its scope. Included are some examples of projects made possible with the use of fire suppression systems.

High Pressure Water Mist Products

Trusted by architects, designers, developers and homeowners, iCO Products® offers a quick and simple fire suppression solution that is fully compliant with BS 8458:2015.

For technical specifications, please refer to the data sheets.

Water Mist Nozzles

The iCO Products® rapid response nozzles are designed to quickly eliminate all three elements that cause a fire (heat, fuel and oxygen).

Our nozzles are extremely low profile and the most discreet on the market. Sitting just 3mm from the ceiling, they can be colour matched using the RAL colour code system to blend seamlessly with any other fixtures and fittings. This enables architects and property designers to integrate fire suppression systems discreetly, without compromising the visual appeal of the interior space.

On average, the iCO Products® patented water mist technology uses 80% less water than other fire sprinkler systems: causing much less water damage, whilst providing rapid and effective fire protection.

Water Mist Pump

The compact iCO® pump unit has been designed to fit into a space the size of a kitchen cabinet, providing more design flexibility for smaller homes, flats or residential buildings with space constraints.

The water mist pump connects directly to the water mains using flexible steel pipes and easy-fit fittings, making the system highly adaptable, cost efficient and easy to install. There is no need to upgrade the water mains or to fit a large and expensive water tank. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in retrofitting older buildings or incorporating fire suppression systems into architectural features.

As the fire suppression system is mains water fed it does not require a bulky, and limited water storage tank. This reduces both installation and on-going maintenance costs. Only using water from the mains when needed saves vasts amounts of water waste.
