Efficient, environmentally-friendly, cost-effective water mist systems.
Water mist fire suppression systems reduce heat, dampen noxious gases and starve the fire of oxygen locally around the flame front. This tackles the fire triangle from all three sides to reduce the spread of flames and prevent it from reigniting.
Sometimes referred to as water mist fire sprinkler systems, this defence against the outbreak of fire is designed to protect property, assets and occupants alike, preventing catastrophic losses and safeguarding human life.
By installing an automatic watermist fire suppression systems, you provide your premises a first line of defence that activates quickly during an incident, allowing precious extra minutes to evacuate and keeping flames at bay until emergency services can attend.
Fire Shield Systems supply fire mist systems from leading manufacturers in the industry to clients across a wide range of industries. Fill in our contact form today to speak to a member of our team about the most effective water mist suppression system for you.

An automatic water mist system works in a number of ways to subdue fires while potentially using as much as 10% less water as a traditional sprinkler system. This includes:
Damping Fuel
Directly damping solid fuel prevents the fire from spreading to adjacent areas.
Cooling Heat
As fine mist droplets evaporate due to their increased surface area, they absorb heat from the fire reducing radiant heat transfer, reducing damage and containing spread.
Displacing Oxygen
Dispensing mist at the heart of the fire removes the supply of oxygen, a key element in the combustion process, by creating steam and creating an intert environment only local to the fire.
Fire Shield Systems work with carefully chosen manufacturers to install third party certified and type tested watermist solutions.
How we install water mist systems
Water mist system installation depends on the size, shape and characteristics of your premises, including the type of combustible fuel or flammable materials present.
Fire Shield Systems install mist sprinkler systems in high-risk locations in your property, for the most effective protection in the event of a fire.
High-quality water mist system installation offers a number of benefits:
- Efficient coverage with fewer sprinkler heads
- Faster activation if fire breaks out
- Reduced spread of flames
- Longer for evacuation and emergency response
- Minimised water damage and low reinstatement cost
- Reduced down time for operations
Fire mist systems use up to 90% less water than conventional sprinkler systems, with less consequential losses. Premises can be restored to usable condition faster, at lower cost, and the fire misting system can also be reinstated quickly and cheaply.
What industries and applications require a water mist system?
A commercial water mist system is a good choice for premises across a wide range of different applications and industries.
Just some sectors that can make good use of a water mist fire sprinkler system include:
- Airports and hangars
- Care homes
- Data centres
- Generator rooms
- Heritage properties
- Occupied premises
- Offices
- Server rooms
- Student accommodation
- Trains
- Tunnels
- Manufacturing and machinery spaces
How to maximise the performance of your water mist system
Your fire suppression mist system should be designed by trained individuals with a detailed understanding of the required pressures, spacings and applications of specific type tested nozzles, calculated on the type of risk, the type and quantity of combustible materials, and the duration of fire suppression required to safeguard human life in the area.
Fire Shield Systems can help by calculating all these variables and supplying the best water mist system for the chosen application, with expert installation by our team of fully trained and qualified engineers.
