Additional fire protection Enhances the safety of vulnerable persons home against self-inflicted arson

Based on cost benefit analysis and performance Blueproof was fitted throughout the property to meet ALARP and provide protection. Blueproof was selected due to the residents not being confined to a single room in the property. to it being non intrusive and be fitted in minutes.

Why not sprinklers?

Cost Following the findings of BRE that a sprinkler system would not be cost effective and that space for the installation of pumps was at a premium with water supply to the property requiring larger pipes to be laid from the outside supply main.

Why not fine mist?

Cost currently £2000 + per room. Difficulty in establishing movement of a resident between rooms during the day established each room would require separate coverage.

To date: No leaks or failures
