This approach removes heat and displaces oxygen from the fire zone, resulting in fire control, suppression or extinguishment.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Automist has been shown to operate up to two minutes before a traditional sprinkler for some fires &#8211; and with the system using 90% less water than a traditional fire suppression set-up, any water damage following an activation is also significantly reduced.<\/p>\n<p>The system also connects to normal domestic water supply, with no need for a tank or pump room, which saves valuable space, especially in residential properties like Fifield Barn. It runs from a dry pipe system, meaning the pipes are not filled with pressurised water unless the system is activated and means it can be connected on-site quickly and easily, and risk of leaks is reduced.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-113486 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden front door into converted barn\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-03-27-12.28.53-e1658504663630.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Automist is already installed in more than 10,000 properties, ranging from individual homes to large social and sheltered housing schemes, and it can be installed or retrofitted with minimal time, effort and expense &#8211; something that was important to Mr and Mrs Kitchener throughout their project.<\/p>\n<p>As is typical with many housebuilding projects, there were several unexpected delays and changes that were made throughout the design and construction phases at Fifield Barn. Vapourmist, however, was able to work collaboratively with the homeowners and contractors to visit the site on numerous occasions to ensure that the system would still be fit for purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Once the project was able to go ahead, the Vapourmist team carried out the installation at Fifield Barn over just three days, with minimal disruption and all while other works were being carried out on site.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kitchener added: \u201cGiven the increased capability Automist offers in comparison, we\u2019re really pleased that the fire engineers and building control approved us opting for this alternative.
