What is Automist® and Why Does Kent Need It?
Automist® is a discreet, ceiling-mounted fire suppression system that detects and controls fires quickly within residential properties. Unlike traditional sprinkler systems, it uses intelligent heat detection and targeted water mist technology to suppress fires at their source — using significantly less water and causing far less collateral damage.
Kent's mix of historic listed buildings, coastal properties, busy hospitality venues, and fast-growing residential developments creates a wide range of fire and electrical safety needs. From Kentish oast houses and period cottages to modern housing estates and commercial parks across Kent, Automist® is particularly well-suited to properties where full sprinkler systems are impractical, or where building regulations require enhanced fire protection as part of an extension, loft conversion, or change of use.
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Open-plan living spaces
- Kitchen areas
- Care and supported living environments
- Listed buildings and heritage properties
How Automist® Works
Automist® uses intelligent detection and directional mist technology to suppress fires rapidly and effectively — without flooding the room.
1. In the event of a fire, the system is triggered automatically by a ceiling-mounted detector.
2. Automist®'s sprayheads scan the room to locate temperature changes indicating a fire.
3. The sprayhead best positioned to tackle the fire targets it with a precise water mist.
4. The water mist removes heat, suppressing the fire while minimising water damage to your Kent property.
