CHILMAN have recently finished the installation of an Automist Fixed head system for two Tree Houses. This was the third installation CHILMAN have carried out for Bower House Construction.
The System is being used as a fire engineered solution enabling the Tree Houses to be used as holiday accommodation.
CHILMAN Engineer Mark said, “it was a very interesting installation and is a great example of how Automist can be used as a solution to all kinds of building control issues”.

Chilman Fire and Security worked closely with Nick and his family to develop a bespoke solution. They began by analysing the home’s floor plans to identify key risk areas and evacuation routes. Careful thought was given to the placement of Automist’s wall-mounted spray heads to maximise coverage, while maintaining the home’s interior design.
After exploring various options, Nick invested in the Plumis’ Automist system. They were drawn in by its advanced fire suppression technology and innovative design. Chilman Fire and Security, an authorised Automist installer, was brought onboard to deliver a solution tailored to the home’s specific requirements.
Unlike traditional sprinklers, Automist uses just 5.6 litres of water per minute, and is designed to significantly reduce potential water damage while effectively suppressing fires. Its infrared tracking technology enables precise targeting of the fire source, ensuring fast and efficient protection.
Chilman’s flexibility during the installation process ensured the system adapted to any evolving design requirements as and when they arose, such as rerouting water feeds to accommodate last-minute changes in the build.
The family’s new home in Devon is now equipped with an intelligent Automist system that provides robust fire suppression without compromising on style. Nick commented that guests rarely notice the discreet spray heads, a testament to how well the system disappears into the interior.
For Nick and his family, Automist delivers invaluable peace of mind. Knowing that they are protected by a sophisticated fire safety system allows them to focus on enjoying their new home with confidence.
