HI-FOG vs Gas Suppression

Choosing a water mist system rather than a gas system requires no special alterations to a room’s integrity. The benefits of the HI-FOG^® Water Mist System stem from safer, simpler and easier fire protection, meaning we can honestly and proudly say: “Don’t wait – activate”.

While gas suppression has proven to be an effective fire protection method, there are a number of pitfalls to using this type of system. Indeed, when compared to the effectiveness and cost-saving features of HI-FOG^®, the gulf becomes remarkably apparent.

Gaseous systems place high demands on the construction and maintenance of the facility, and may also lead to facility- and equipment-damaging issues. The common challenges associated with these systems often revolve around the fact that only the purchase costs are analyzed, with other construction and maintenance costs forgotten or neglected.
