Fire Suppression

J&C M&E are approved installers of the Plumis Automist Smartscan Hydra system.

Automist detects fire earlier and activates faster – up to 2 minutes before a traditional sprinkler for some fires – minimising the build-up of toxic smoke, and tackling fires before they can grow. Early electronic activation and the unique properties of water mist help to maintain survivable conditions, giving occupants valuable extra time to escape or be rescued.

Trusted to protect more than 10,000 properties, from individual homes, to historic buildings, to large sheltered housing schemes, Automist can be used as an alternative to sprinklers in most domestic and residential settings. It’s used to meet building regulations and as an elective fire protection upgrade. Automist’s modular nature makes it ideal to protect individual dwellings, and enables property-by-property installation for multidwelling projects.

Roll out can be based on availability or need, protecting those at greater risk first. Automist’s low water use means it can be used where sprinklers are impractical or there is uncertainty about the water supply.

Automist Smartscan® has been independently tested to show it meets the fire performance standards outlined in BS 8458, and holds a BSi Verification Certificate.

Low water usage Using 90% less water than a traditional sprinkler, Automist connects to the normal domestic water supply. There’s no need for a tank, extensive pipework or a costly upgrade to the water supply.
