| Residential Sprinkler Systems How much do you Value yourself and your property? Sprinklers can save! New homes and their furnishings are simply less fire safe than yesterday’s homes. Fifty years ago there were more natural fibers like cotton in upholstery, for instance. Today there is more nylon and polyester used in upholstery, which burn differently and cause toxic fumes. The plastic content in most modern homes is much higher than it used to be, and the engineered and glued lumber that is used in today’s lightweight construction is another troublesome issue. Finally, there are the volume ceilings and wide open floor plans that are currently so popular. Older homes were more compartmentalized, so fires smoldered longer. Today with the open floor plans, there is a much greater oxygen supply for the fires to feed on. |
