Fire Sprinklers for free in care homes?

ADB (approved document B building regs fire section) tells us in 3.52a that if a sprinkler installation is employed in such premises as a care home /HMO etc. then door closers need not be used on fire doors to bedrooms.

This will save the client around £45.00 per closer and around £20.00 to fit it.

This is just about the same cost
 as the pipe and sprinkler head to the same room.

If closers are not used then the need for more complex devices like automatic fire door retainers such as "Dorgard" which can be  used to prop open doors would also not be required.

This would save an extra £95 +vat + fittings costs per door.
