Water mist systems gaining ground as Scottish housing prioritises fire safety

Smart MistFire, which supplies water mist systems to the housing sector, has completed a series of residential developments in recent months and begun work on several new schemes across the country, partnering with contractors on delivery.

The firm says demand has been particularly strong in affordable housing, where sustained investment in new homes continues to drive activity.

Water mist systems suppress fire using a fine spray that requires far less water than traditional sprinklers, limiting damage to property while maintaining effective protection. The technology has won the confidence of architects, builders and property owners alike.

“Building safety is now central to modern residential construction, and it’s encouraging to see developers putting fire suppression at the heart of their plans,” the company said.

With a robust pipeline of projects ahead, Smart MistFire says it remains committed to supporting the delivery of safe, high-quality homes throughout Scotland
