Fire extinguishers are essential and, in some cases (e.g. public institutions), legally required to protect lives and property against unexpected fires. We offer a wide range of extinguishers tailored to different fire types and operating environments.
Powder extinguishers: The most versatile and popular option, effective on Class A (solid combustibles), B (flammable liquids) and C (gases). Dry chemical powder quickly stops the fire by interrupting the combustion reaction. Powder extinguishers are ideal for homes, offices and vehicles.
CO2 extinguishers: These use carbon dioxide to displace oxygen in the fire zone and leave no residue. They are ideal for electrical and electronic equipment because they do not cause secondary damage.
Foam extinguishers (mechanical foam): Effective on Class A and B fires, providing an excellent solution for flammable liquids and solid materials. The foam blankets the burning surface, cooling it and helping to prevent re‑ignition.
It is essential to check extinguishers regularly to ensure they are in optimal working condition. An annual service by an authorised specialist is recommended. Additionally, keep extinguishers in a dry, accessible location, and routinely check the tamper seal integrity and the pressure indicated on the gauge.
