Sprinkler Systems in Maryland

Preventing fires is what we're all about at Metfire. To do this, we provide home and business owners throughout the Mid-Atlantic region with sprinkler systems from Clinton, MD, as well as needed services, including sprinkler installations and inspections.

To better serve our clientele, we do all of our design in-house using our state-of-the-art, sprinkler-specific software. This ensures accuracy and design optimization and allows our designers to work closely with the installers, the fire marshal, and even your architects. It also allows us to expedite our projects and means there's no waiting for outsourced design professionals to apply for permits.

We're proud to be the number-one residential sprinkler contractor in the area. Think of us as a one-stop shop for all of your fire sprinkler needs. From new installations to tenant fit-outs to inspection services – if you need it, we can do it!

Residential Sprinklers

Our company specializes in residential sprinkler systems, and our technicians have installation down to a science. We've performed hundreds of thousands of residential installations, working with:

• Building Contractors in Multi-Family, Single-Family, & Town House Neighborhoods
• Homeowners on Private Custom Homes
• Modular Companies for On-Site & Factory Installs

We even do sprinkler installations in additions and retrofitting of sprinklers for existing structures.

There is no detail too minute to garner attention from our expert installers. Whether it be lining up the sprinkler head with the electrical fixtures, customizing head selections to meet specific aesthetic desires, expediting sprinkler design and submittal for immediate installations, or any other service under our power to provide, Metfire strives for excellence.

We are also one of the first sprinkler contractors in the nation to participate in the Tyco Rapid Response program. The Rapid Response Home Fire Sprinkler System features multiple sprinkler styles, BlazeMaster® CPVC pipe and fittings, and all of the system components you need to make installation easy.

Products

Let us offer you a variety of sprinkler heads that meet the needs of the residential and commercial buildings you work in. These include our:

Semi-Recessed Pendent

This is the most common sprinkler head in residential homes, with the head sticking down from the ceiling about 1 1/4".

Semi-Recessed Sidewall

We typically install the sidewall version of the standard head (shown above) on the top floor or closets or stairwells, where locating a sprinkler head in the ceiling is impossible.

Flush Pendent

This head is visibly smaller than the semi-recessed sprinkler head, having a smaller profile and escutcheon plate. Though more "attractive," these heads often cannot be used due to high-pressure demands.

Flush Sidewall

This is the sidewall version of the flush head shown above.

Concealed-Domed Plate

This head sits flush against the ceiling. Domed plates often have a lower pressure-demand than the flat plate concealed heads shown below.

Concealed-Flat Plate

This head is the most common upgrade. The sprinkler head sits flush with the ceiling (with approximately a 1/8" gap between the plate and ceiling). The plate will "activate" and drop off at a temperature of 140° (temperatures may vary). In contrast, the sprinkler head behind the plate activates at a higher temperature.

These heads have stricter design criteria than the semi-recessed heads. We don't install these in some areas – including unfinished spaces, buildings with ceiling slopes and beams, and places with above-normal ambient temperatures.

Dry Sidewall/Dry Pendent

We install these in unconditioned portions of the building. The most common is in garages – where the local authority having jurisdiction has amended the code to include garage areas in the home's sprinklered space.
