Operation of a Sprinkler Head
Sprinkler Head Operation
Residential and Domestic sprinkler systems operate during the initial stages of a fire and are designed to provide time for egress and prevent flashover.
The sprinkler is activated when the heat from the fire raises the temperature of the head to a point where the element will activate and allow water to pass through the fitting. The sprinkler system should be installed in conjunction with smoke alarms which will activate to provide early warning to the occupants.
Our apartment never had flyscreens. I contacted Asset Maintenance Australia for an obligation free quotation. In a matter of days I had 4 new flyscreens fitted to my bedroom windows. The service they provided was great. I though because my neighbors did not have flyscreens, flyscreens could not be fitted to my windows. Asset Maintenance sorted out the supply and installation of my flyscreens. Should you be considering flyscreens for your apartment I recommend you call Asset Maintenance Australia.
