5 Reasons to Choose CPVC in 2023 | BlazeMaster

Why CPVC sprinkler pipe is built for fire sprinkler systems in the new year

What assurances do we need in fire protection systems in 2023?

The obvious assurances anyone would expect from a domestic fire sprinkler system include:

• Strength
• Safety
• Durability
• Reliability
• Longevity

BlazeMaster CPVC® provides all of these assurances to fire sprinkler installation professionals around the world. However, with the new year looming, should construction professionals nbe looking to work harder or smarter?

Continue reading our five reasons for specifying specially engineered CPVC in commercial and domestic fire sprinkler systems.

Here’s how the modern architect, contractor and installer gets to work both harder and smarter.

Demonstration of safety in domestic property

The modern customer has done their research.

As property owners are more conscious of property value than ever, they are also fiercely protective of building safety.

The term "health and safety" was, to some, a bothersome administrative consideration. However, to the modern customer it is a fundamental requirement that all of us in construction, fire safety and beyond must be equipped to demonstrate.

• BlazeMaster CPVC is flame resistant, maintaining its integrity when exposed to flames even in the most intense heat.
• It does not produce burning droplets and does not contribute to toxic smoke generation in the event of a fire.
• No torches or heat fusion are required to complete the installation process creating a safer work environment (eliminating the need for costly hot work permits and relocating occupants when installing residential sprinkler systems)

BlazeMaster CPVC is the safe workers choice. Beyond that, it remains dependable in its contribution to safety, especially when the worst should happen.

Global compliance to building regulations

As the digital world grows even more intelligent, the physical world in which we exchange goods and services becomes ever smaller.

Customers look to suppliers to deliver an internationally recognised solution that is proven to guarantee building safety, backed up by real life examples around the world.

• BlazeMaster CPVC is the most specified nonmetallic fire sprinkler material in the world
• Successful installations have been carried out in both commercial and residential occupancies worldwide
• It is approved for use by major international governing bodies such as NSF International and the LPCB

In 2023, the modern customer needs more than assurances of fire safety; they require undeniable proof. Make sure the materials you specify deliver on what they promise.

The logistical advantage

A term commonly used in our world is "time sensitive."

Technically, this should not exist because all projects are time sensitive, even with the most relaxed deadlines. Inefficient installation can prevent businesses from reopening, homes from being occupied and installation teams from moving onto other profitable, lucrative projects.

• BlazeMaster CPVC is easy to install quickly quietly and securely
• It is a versatile material, requiring less space for installation and less equipment for welding
• It is lightweight, yet extremely durable, which reduces transportation cost considerably when compared to steel
• It is manufactured and supplied locally in your area

In fast paced markets such as property, it is not good enough to simply have the best material. It's also about having quality material ready to go, precisely when it is needed.

Sustainability

Energy usage throughout the supply chain has never been under more scrutiny.

As the world acknowledges our urgent global requirement to reduce energy usage and protect our climate, there is no reason why fire safety professionals cannot make a major contribution.

In a life-cycle assessment comparison between BlazeMaster CPVC and steel piping systems, energy usage was considerably lower across the CPVC supply chain in 12 out of 13 categories, including climate change, non-renewable energy use and toxicity.

In 2023, lack of commitment to sustainable building practices is going to affect construction businesses considerably.

Going forward, make sure you can demonstrate sustainability for a sustainable, profitable career.

An upskilled workforce

The many benefits demonstrated above in this blog only apply when BlazeMaster CPVC products are installed correctly and efficiently.

In recent years, our commitment to training fire safety professionals around the world is intensified and isn’t slowing down any time soon.

The Orange Book is the ultimate guide to CPVC specification and includes all necessary guidance to help you design and install a long-lasting fire sprinkler system.

The RIBA accredited CPD seminar teaches the impact of CPVC fire sprinkler systems in architectural design and is accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects

The FBC System Compatible Program eliminates guesswork associated with installation using various different materials. This free to access database allows specifiers to find and compare products that are compatible with BlazeMaster CPVC, drastically reducing the risk of mistakes on site.
