For Contractors, Material Selection is Key to Enhancing Your Firm’s Reputation

Every project is an opportunity to build your reputation as a firm dedicated to getting the job done properly. The materials you recommend reflect your company’s commitment to ensuring the project is a success from initial installation through to long-term maintenance.

It’s always smart to go with a proven industry leader, and that’s a key reason contractors around the world choose BlazeMaster® Fire Protection Systems. BlazeMaster CPVC pioneered the use of thermoplastics in fire sprinkler systems more than 30 years ago. Today, it is the most specified nonmetallic fire system in the world.

Our manufacturing partnerships are a key advantage for impressing your clients and prospects. Tyco® and Viking® manufacture BlazeMaster CPVC into pipe and fittings. Both firms have are well-known for proven track records of producing high-performance pipe and fittings.

With BlazeMaster CPVC, you’re also partnering with leading associations committed to fire protection in the United Kingdom, including the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association (BAFSA), the European Fire Sprinkler Network (EFSN), the National Fire Sprinkler Network (NFSN) and the Residential Sprinkler Association (RSA).

Other brands may provide a list of approved products but without the assurance of third-party testing.

All of these factors combine to give BlazeMaster CPVC unsurpassed brand authority   that will enhance your reputation – and give your firm an advantage in competing for new projects.

 

A Trusted Brand

The strength of the BlazeMaster CPVC brand is based on proven benefits you can share with your customers and prospects to build your reputation as a trusted advisor.

Durability. Steel piping is prone to corrosion and mineral build-ups known as scaling. Corrosion can lead to pinhole leaks in as little as two years. Scaling constricts water flow resulting in diminished water pressure and clogs. Your customer must make a costly repair either way, which is never good for a contractor’s reputation. By comparison, BlazeMaster CPVC is never prone to corrosion or scaling no matter how long it is used.

Ease of Installation. Compared with steel, BlazeMaster CPVC protects your reputation by minimising disruptions for occupants – and potential complaints to building owners. Installing steel pipe requires noisy cutting, welding and threading machines. It’s heavier, so it requires larger work crews. Installing BlazeMaster CPVC is a one-person job using basic hand tools, which saves time and money. If you want a reputation for completing jobs quickly with minimal hassles for occupants – and at a lower cost – BlazeMaster CPVC is your best choice.

Environmental Responsibility. As the building industry gets greener, contractors can enhance their reputations by going the extra mile to protect the environment, and CPVC offers important advantages over steel. Manufacturing CPVC produces half the greenhouse gases emitted for producing steel pipe. Further reflecting industry leadership, BlazeMaster CPVC authorizes a Life Cycle Assessment – the first and only brand of fire protection systems to conduct such as study.

These advantages make BlazeMaster CPVC a brand you can recommend with confidence to enhance your reputation with clients and prospects. If you have questions or need assistance in preparing a bid, please feel free to email or call (+44 (0)7710 372281). We look forward to helping you.
