Challenge
Most domestic fires start in the kitchen, yet traditional sprinklers are disruptive to fit and hard to live with.
What we did
A patented fire suppression device fitted between the tap and the sink. It connects to existing plumbing via a pump and, when activated, creates a fine water mist.
Outcome
The first product in a new class of near-invisible, easy-to-retrofit fire suppression devices, now on the market and available worldwide. Fitted between tap and sink, it protects the room where most domestic fires start, and it's effective on both electrical and chip pan fires.
