The World’s First Dedicated Sauna Fire Suppression System
Saunasafe is the world’s first Fire Suppression System specifically developed for the unique environment of a Sauna.
Saunasafe has achieved third party approval from the world renowned Danish Fire Laboratories (DFL) testing house in Svendborg following fire test protocol developed by DFL.
The Saunasafe Low pressure water mist system was tested under strict conditions and to a draft approval, which was independently verified.
A cost effective and space saving solution for the protection of Saunas within the fitness, hotel and leisure industry.
In recent years, the major loss caused by fires developing within Saunas has risen dramatically to the extent that there is now a need for a practical and cost-effective fire system to meet this specific risk.
SaunaSafe was created to respond to an unprecedented demand from both potential clients and major UK Insurers.
How does Saunasafe work?
This unique system picks up from existing water supplies or a dedicated tank where necessary and, in the event of the system operating, will shut down this supply and dedicate the water to the fire system. The Sauna is installed with a unique valve, and in the event of a fire being detected, the SaunaSafe will operate an audible alarm and shut down the power to the Sauna heater. This would be achieved via the customer’s own fire alarm system, utilising interfaces.
Should the valve detect a fire, the SaunaSafe suppression system releases low-pressure water mist directly onto the risk area (heater and surrounds) and also into and across the internal parts of the Sauna.
The introduction of water mist rapidly cools the surrounding temperature and removes oxygen, creating an “inerting” effect that quickly suppresses and extinguishes the fire. The power to the heater is immediately shut off to prevent any further heat generation and to avoid adverse reactions between water and electrical components.
Sauna fires are often caused by the improper disposal of flammable items and liquids that come into contact with the heating elements. Electrical faults have also been responsible for many recent major fires.
Regardless of the cause, the damage from a sauna fire can endanger lives, lead to significant property damage, and result in a loss of revenue and commercial trust for business owners.
