A concealed sprinkler head is a type of fire sprinkler system component designed to blend seamlessly with architectural finishes while providing effective fire protection. It consists of a sprinkler head hidden behind a decorative cover plate, which sits flush with the ceiling or wall surface.
The cover plate is designed to detach automatically when exposed to high temperatures, allowing the sprinkler to activate and discharge water in case of a fire. Concealed sprinkler heads are commonly used in residential, commercial, and hospitality settings to maintain clean, unobtrusive ceiling lines while ensuring safety.
Their discreet design makes them ideal for spaces where aesthetics are a priority without compromising fire protection.
