Did you know that fire kills more people in the U.S. annually than all natural disasters combined? On average, nearly 4,000 people die in fires each year!
Industry research confirms, however, that the installation of a fire sprinkler system, used in conjunction with a smoke detector, can reduce the loss of life by as much as 98.5 percent (more than twice as much as a smoke detector working alone). Why are fire sprinkler systems so effective? Because they don’t rely on human factors. They operate automatically and immediately in the area of the fire’s origin to provide residents with additional time to exit the premises safely.
Yet, not all fire sprinkler systems are the same. Prior to 1984, there were few choices when it came to selecting a fire sprinkler system. Technology has changed that. BlazeMaster® fire sprinkler systems are made from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), a revolutionary, high-temperature specialty material for use in fire sprinkler pipe and fittings. Compared to traditional metallic systems, BlazeMaster CPVC systems offer long-term reliability. Immune to the effects of pitting and corrosion, they not only have proven to perform when needed during their 25+ year history in the field, but also minimize the likelihood of costly damage from corroded, leaking pipes.
Lightweight, easy to install, and less expensive than most metallic systems, BlazeMaster CPVC fire sprinkler systems are quickly becoming the product of choice for safety-conscious homeowners, landlords, building owners, facility managers, specifiers and installers.
With concerns about home safety and fire prevention on the rise, BlazeMaster products are taking a leadership role with home builders and home buyers to encourage the inclusion of state-of-the-art fire protection technology in every new home built.
That’s why today’s top builders include residential sprinkler systems – like BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings – as standard features in their new homes. Costing as little as one to one and a half percent of total construction costs, residential sprinkler systems provide added peace of mind for your buyers and a great competitive advantage for you.
