According
to facts quoted by the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition, eight out
of ten fire deaths in the U.S. occur in the home, and the use
of sprinklers and detectors together cut your risk of dying in
a home fire by 82%, over an unprotected home.
Residential
sprinkler systems are designed to save lives and reduce property
loss due to fire. As an additional benefit, property owners often
recognize a reduction in insurance premiums. An application is
considered "Residential" if someone lives or sleeps
in the structure and that can range from a single family home
to terrace apartments to high-rise condominiums - each having
its own unique needs.
Many sprinkler
companies are traditionally focused on commercial sprinkler applications,
but Affordable Fire Protection (AFP) started out working in the
residential arena and has remained committed to advancement and
growth there. AFP was an early adopter of the use of plastic piping
in residential applications, a transition that made the use of
sprinklers more affordable for builders and more accessible for
the homeowner.
AFP has, over
the years, developed a mastery of the design disciplines and installation
techniques to make the available products work their best. This
mastery makes Affordable Fire Protection your best choice to implement
the fire sprinkler system in your next residential project.
