Schools
Ensuring Compliant Fire Safety in School Buildings Across Ireland.
The Challenge
There are numerous negative impacts of school fires, including, most importantly, a threat to the safety of students and staff, the disruption to children’s education, the loss of valuable resources, and the devastating effects on communities. The use of sprinklers can help to mitigate these negative impacts.
The Solution
At RAD Fire Sprinklers, we provide comprehensive fire protection for schools, ensuring the safety of students and staff. Our fire sprinkler systems are designed to minimise disruption, offering discreet solutions that meet regulatory standards. From small primary schools to large educational complexes, we tailor our systems to each facility’s specific needs.
Why Install School Sprinklers?
There are many benefits to installing sprinklers in schools. Sprinklers can help to save lives by controlling or extinguishing fires in their early stages. They can also help to protect property by reducing the amount of damage caused by fire. In addition, sprinklers can help to minimize disruption to education by allowing schools to reopen more quickly after a fire.
Research has shown that sprinklers are very effective at controlling fires. In a study of almost 1,000 fires in buildings with sprinklers, the NFCC found that sprinklers controlled or extinguished the fire in 99% of cases. BAFSA in the UK research has shown that the average area of fire damage in a non-residential building with a sprinkler system was half the average area of fire damage in comparable buildings without sprinklers.
The cost of installing sprinklers in schools is relatively low, especially if they are planned in the initial stages of construction. The benefits of sprinklers far outweigh the costs, and there is a strong case for making them mandatory in all new schools in Ireland.
Reasons Sprinklers Should Be Installed in Schools
The evidence clearly shows that sprinklers are an effective and cost-effective way to protect lives, property, and education.
Here are some arguments in favour of the installation of a School Fire Sprinkler System.
Sprinklers save lives
Most importantly, they can control or extinguish fires in their early stages, preventing them from spreading and causing significant damage.
Sprinklers protect property
They can significantly reduce the amount of damage caused by fire, which can save taxpayers money and help schools reopen more quickly after a fire.
Sprinklers minimize disruption to education
By controlling fires quickly, sprinklers can help to prevent the need for lengthy school closures and relocations.
Sprinklers are cost-effective
The cost of installing sprinklers is relatively low, especially when they are planned for during initial construction.
Provide peace of mind for students, staff, and parents
Knowing that a school is equipped with sprinklers can provide a sense of security and comfort.
Reduce the risk of injuries to firefighters
Sprinklers can help to control fires more quickly, which can make it safer for firefighters to respond to a fire.

I have used RAD for a couple of projects and found them to be good to deal with. They did a pair of 3 storey open plan houses and seven three and four story town houses. The sprinklers were to improve fire safety, allow more flexible space and comply with building regulations. The sprinklers were far more cost effective than the mist type systems and look very discrete when installed.
