A home fire extinguisher is primarily used to put out a nascent fire. A fire that has not yet spread can be quickly contained. With a fire extinguisher securely hung at your kitchen entrance, you can intervene quickly and effectively in case of a disaster.
But with its almost primitive design, a fire extinguisher sorely lacks charm and can permanently detract from your decor. Now, it's possible to opt for a fire extinguisher with a refined, glamorous design and bold, striking colors. It's therefore easier to find a functional fire extinguisher that doesn't clash with your home's style.
A flashy and functional style
A fire extinguisher within reach is reassuring for the whole family. A guarantee of safety. While a large proportion of French households do not own a fire extinguisher, those who do have one keep it out of sight. Either because of a design incompatible with the style of the house, or because of a too massive shape.
Most of the time, a fire extinguisher is often stored in the cellar or attic. The advantage of a modern fire extinguisher is that it can be placed wherever you want, in the color you desire. This range of extinguishers will bring a significant aesthetic added value to your interior thanks to a very wide and diverse range of colors.
A range of products to suit all tastes
Most of these new generation fire extinguishers have nothing to envy compared to so-called classic extinguishers. The functionality and composition of the fire-fighting products remain the same. The only difference, and not a minor one, is the color and patterns that your home fire extinguisher sports.
For example, you have ABC fire extinguishers with a "Michael Jackson" look, in the purest style of the King of Pop. If you are a big fan of Comics, a modern fire extinguisher with vibrant colors is also very stylish in terms of decoration. A fire extinguisher can be the centerpiece of a decor.
Knowing how to install your modern fire extinguisher
A home fire extinguisher is not installed and placed in the same way as, for example, an office fire extinguisher. Depending on where you are going to install it, your needs evolve. Thus, defining its installation location is important. By location, we mean identifying areas at high risk of fire.
In a house, the area with the highest chance of fire is the kitchen. The other most probable place is the garage. Having fire extinguishers in these places is an informed and wise advice. The location is also crucial in determining the size of the extinguisher to install. Most design extinguishers on the market offer portable models, weighing a maximum of 20kg and very easy to handle. Due to its practicality, this model is one of the most common in French homes.
During installation, the extinguisher must be easily accessible in all situations. It must be visible to everyone. And with a flashy color, it will not go unnoticed. Do not place the device in a blind spot or behind a cupboard.
