Building Regulations – Approved Document B

In 2007 changes to the building regulations came into force allowing domestic sprinkler systems to be used to offset aspects of the building regulations concerning fire safety. Building Regulations 2000 – Fire Safety - Approved Document B – Volume 1 Dwelling Houses (effective April 2007)

An excellent working knowledge of Approved Document B and  its inclusion of fire sprinklers, allows our team to liaise, work with and advise customers, utilities and AHJ’s on the best way to produce a fast, cost effective and efficient compromise.

Architects and designers benefit from freedom of design and the ability to create living spaces which would previously have contravened Fire Safety.

  • Open plan living areas incorporating a kitchen area
  • Loft Conversions
  • Extended exits
  • Keeping architectural features in conversions
  • Use of non-standard building materials

Domestic Sprinklers can be Stylish and Unobtrusive

Using the latest in technology and design our Domestic Sprinklers Systems can be fitted with the minimum of fuss and disruption.

Using ultra light weight cPVC piping fitted inside wall and ceiling cavities and recessed sprinklers heads hidden from view by covers fitting flush with the ceiling, colour co-ordinated to match your decor, our domestic systems are hidden from view and totally unobtrusive.

Water Damage

Sprinklers offer protection even when the property is empty and there is no-one to raise the alarm.

They work from the minute they are activated by the fire, with only the sprinkler nearest the fire discharging, limiting fire and water damage to the immediate vicinity of the fire. In domestic situation a fire can be put out by the operation of 1 or 2 sprinkler heads with damage from the fire being cleared up in a matter of hours.

In an building without fire sprinklers fire can spread unchecked until the fire services arrive. A Fire engine will disperse 20 times the volume of water into the building,  alternative accommodation is often required while the home is made habitable.
Accidental Water Damage

All Nimbus Fire Domestic Sprinkler  Systems are designed and fitted by experienced, fully trained fire engineers, to British Standards and carry full certification.

Given the failure rate of a correctly installed and maintained sprinkler head is 1:160,000 you can have confidence in the performance of a system installed and maintained by Nimbus.
