Fire sprinkler systems are widely used in both commercial and residential buildings. Earlier they were mainly installed in industrial and commercial areas, but now they are also becoming essential and in some cases mandatory for residential buildings due to their life-saving performance. Studies show that sprinkler systems can significantly reduce fire-related deaths and property damage.

A fire sprinkler system works through a network of pipes and sprinkler heads installed on the ceiling. Each sprinkler head contains a glass bulb filled with heat-sensitive liquid. When the temperature rises due to fire, the liquid expands and breaks the glass bulb. This automatically opens the sprinkler head and allows water to spray directly onto the fire area, controlling or extinguishing the flames.
