A POWDER OR FOAM FIRE EXTINGUISHER?
We always recommend choosing a foam fire extinguisher whenever possible. This is because foam has some significant advantages over a powder fire extinguisher:
- Foam has better extinguishing capacity
- Foam is much easier to clean up after use
- Foam causes little collateral damage
Powder is very difficult to clean up yourself. You need an industrial vacuum cleaner for this. Moreover, a powder fire extinguisher causes a lot of collateral damage.
ARE YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER BENOR APPROVED?
Yes, at Firediscounter we think quality is most important. All our foam extinguishers therefore meet the strictest European and Belgian inspection standards: BENOR (Apragaz),CE approved, EN standards, ISO standards, Milieukeur,...
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FIRE EXTINGUISHER: BASIC AND ADVANCED
Basic
Fire extinguishers Basic are our budget models under permanent pressure. Although a good standard model, they are not immediately the best and cheapest choice in the long run.
In summary, the basic fire extinguishers:
- Have a limited lifespan of 10 years
- Are more susceptible to failure because they are under continuous pressure
- Are very difficult and expensive to refill
Advanced
The fire extinguishers Advanced are quality devices at a competitive price.These devices are a very good and quality model with internal cartridge for use in rooms and buildings that are publicly accessible.
The advanced fire extinguishers:
- Have a service life of 20 years
- Are almost insensitive to defects
- Are easy to refill
