Protecting your office with a designer fire extinguisher is possible !
The office is often considered a second home, as we spend as much time there as we do at home. It is therefore normal to take care of its safety, especially against the risk of fire, because a fire can start from nothing at all and create enormous damage in a short period of time. So, to protect their offices, some people install conventional fire extinguishers and others prefer to opt for a designer model. Is this a appropriée solution? The answer is in the rest of this article.
A designer fire extinguisher, what is it-il ?
A designer fire extinguisher is a fire-fighting device that can act very quickly to contain the start of a fire. It is similar to a standard extinguisher with the only difference being that it brings design in addition to safety. Capable of projecting silver extinguisher (powder, water or foam...) over a good distance, this type of extinguisher is the ideal accessory to bring safety and charm to your offices. It has several patterns in a wide range of colours. Thus, it not only protects your offices in case of fire, but also makes them more attractive.
How does this designer fire extinguisher protect your bureaux ?
A designer fire extinguisher protects your offices mainly against fire. The sooner a fire is brought under control, the less damage the fire will cause. Whether intentional or accidental, fires are always devastating. With a design extinguisher within reach and sight, you can contain the first flames until the fire brigade arrives. It will also allow everyone present to quickly move away from the fire site.
In other words, the design fire extinguisher contributes to the preservation of human life, but also of the furniture and material goods present in your offices. In addition, there are different types of design fire extinguishers that you can use:
- Powder extinguisher: It contains copper powder. Its role is to inhibit the fire and isolate the fuel. It is an extinguisher that is most often composed of sulphates, ammonium salt, phosphate and traces of sodium bicarbonate. It extinguishes flames fairly quickly, especially if the flames are electrical in origin (electrical circuit failure).
- Water or foam extinguisher: The solution contained in theextinguisher is intended to prevent air from feeding the fire or flame. The foam extinguisher is a conductor and should not be used on fires that result from an electrical failure.
- The carbon dioxide extinguisher: Its purpose is to reduce the level of oxygen that feeds the fire. It is also used to separate the fuel from the fire. It is effective on fires caused by flammable liquids.
Installation standards
A designer fire extinguisher can protect your offices, but it can also be used as a decorative object. Thus, it adds an original touch to the interior aspect of your offices. However, to ensure optimal protection of your premises, the design extinguisher must meet certain requirements. Indeed, the number and type of extinguishers must be particularly high in premises with fire risks (electrical installation, kitchen, etc.).
In all your offices, there should be one fire extinguisher every 200m2 with different extinguishing agents. A fire extinguisher should be placed near all exits and in easily accessible places. Don't forget to indicate the presence of an extinguisher with a poster.
Where is procurer ?
Design fire extinguishers are available in collections, in stores or on online sales sites like ours. However, an interesting way to get a fire extinguisher is to consult the catalogues of major brands such as Safe-T.
