Fire Sprinklers & Water Mist Systems
Commercial Sprinklers
Automatic sprinkler systems are one of the most effective ways to protect people, property, and assets from fire. In commercial environments, they play a vital role in detecting, controlling, and often extinguishing fires before the fire brigade even arrives.
At Aquatech, we design, install, and maintain commercial sprinkler systems in full compliance with BS EN 12845 — the recognised standard for fixed firefighting systems across the UK and Europe.
What is BS EN 12845?
BS EN 12845 is the European standard that governs the design, installation, and maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems. It sets out detailed requirements to ensure systems are fit for purpose and tailored to the fire risk level of the building.

Commercial Water Mist
Aquatech install industrial & commercial water mist systems to BS8489:2016-1 for all hazard classifications ranging from Light to Ordinary Hazard 3 (OH3). We use a range of VID fire-kill products successfully tested and approved to match your requirements.
Commercial in varied locations:
Commercial applications have so many different locations, fire-hazards, fuel loads and obstructions which in some circumstances can vary in size and position from day to day (making it even harder to protect). We treat each situation individually with its own special needs and fire protection requirements by combining individual systems each suited for a specific area to protect an entire building. We achieve this by using a wide range of different nozzles and systems each developed to bring most value to the project.
