Our Story
“Designer Fire Sprinklers was born out of an idea to protect the things that you love the most, the things insurance can’t replace.
The fact that more than one Australian per week loses their life in a preventable home fire compelled me to take action.
In Australia, there are over 17,000 residential fire incidents each year, placing a strain on our emergency services and resulting in unnecessary risks for firefighters and healthcare providers. These incidents also contribute to air pollution and landfill waste from burnt debris.
Fire sprinklers offer a vital layer of defence. They are legally required to protect commercial properties, so why not residential too? They've proven time and time again to be highly effective in containing fires and providing precious time for escape.
