A Guide to How Fire Sprinkler Systems Work
Designer Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers play an essential role in protecting people and property, but in premium interiors, hospitality settings, heritage buildings and customer facing environments, standard red extinguishers can sometimes feel visually out of place.
At Asco, we supply designer fire extinguishers that combine practical fire protection with a more considered finish. Available in copper, gold and antique brass, our designer range is ideal for businesses and property owners who need compliant fire safety equipment without compromising the look and feel of their space.
Whether you are looking for a copper fire extinguisher for a restaurant, a gold fire extinguisher for a luxury reception area, or an antique brass fire extinguisher for a heritage property, our team can help you choose the right finish, extinguisher type, stand and signage setup.
We support businesses across Scotland and the wider UK through the LS Fire Group, providing advice, supply, installation and ongoing maintenance for designer fire extinguishers.
Fire safety that complements your interior
Fire safety equipment should always be visible, accessible and suitable for the risks it protects against. However, that does not mean it needs to disrupt the design of your premises.
Designer fire extinguishers provide a more refined option for spaces where appearance matters. They are particularly well suited to environments where the customer experience, building character or interior design has been carefully considered.
This can include:
- Boutique hotels
- Restaurants and bars
- Private members clubs
- Heritage buildings
- Listed properties
- Galleries and museums
A designer look without compromising on safety
The appearance of a fire extinguisher is important in design led spaces, but safety and suitability must always come first. A premium finish should never replace the need for the correct extinguisher type, positioning, signage and maintenance.
The right designer fire extinguisher should be selected based on the fire risks in your building. This may include risks from electrical equipment, paper and textiles, flammable liquids, furniture, display materials or general commercial activity.
Asco can advise on the most suitable designer fire extinguisher options for your premises, including the correct extinguisher type, size, location, finish, stand and signage.
We can also support with installation and ongoing servicing to help ensure your equipment remains suitable and ready for use.
Our designer fire extinguisher finishes
Matching stands and signage
Designer fire extinguishers can be supplied with matching stands and signage to create a more coordinated fire safety point. Options include:
- Single extinguisher stands
- Double extinguisher stands
- Portrait fire extinguisher signs
- Landscape fire extinguisher signs
Stands can be particularly useful in spaces where wall mounting is not suitable or where fixtures need to be kept to a minimum. This may include heritage buildings, listed properties, entrance areas, event spaces or premium interiors with delicate wall finishes.
Signage remains important because fire extinguishers must be easy to identify in an emergency. Asco can advise on signage options that support visibility while still working with the overall design of your premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are designer fire extinguishers compliant?
- Designer fire extinguishers can support compliance when the correct extinguisher type is selected, the unit is positioned correctly, suitable signage is provided and the extinguisher is properly maintained. The finish does not remove the need for the extinguisher to be suitable for the fire risks in the building.
- Which designer fire extinguisher finish should I choose?
- The best finish depends on the style of your premises. Copper works well in warm, characterful or industrial interiors. Gold is suited to premium and luxury spaces. Antique brass is often a good choice for heritage buildings, listed properties and traditional interiors.
- Can designer fire extinguishers be used without wall mounting?
- Yes, designer fire extinguishers can often be used with single or double stands where wall mounting is not suitable. This can be useful in heritage buildings, reception areas, event spaces or interiors where wall fixtures need to be avoided.
- Do designer fire extinguishers still need signage?
- Yes, fire extinguisher signage is still important. Designer extinguishers must remain easy to identify and access in an emergency. Asco can advise on portrait and landscape signage options that support visibility while working with the design of your space.
- Can Asco help choose the right extinguisher type?
- Yes, Asco can advise on the most suitable extinguisher type based on your premises, fire risks and intended location. Designer options are available across Foam, Water and CO2 extinguishers, but the correct choice will depend on what the extinguisher needs to protect.
- Are designer fire extinguishers suitable for hotels and restaurants?
- Designer fire extinguishers can be a strong option for hotels, restaurants, bars and hospitality venues where fire safety equipment is visible to guests. The correct extinguisher type must still be selected based on the risks in each area, such as electrical equipment, soft furnishings, paper materials or other commercial fire risks.
- Can I replace all standard red extinguishers with designer extinguishers?
- In some areas, yes, but it depends on the fire risks and the extinguisher types required. Some businesses choose designer extinguishers for visible customer facing spaces and standard extinguishers for back of house areas. Asco can review your premises and recommend the most suitable approach.
- Do designer fire extinguishers need regular servicing?
- Yes, designer fire extinguishers need to be serviced and maintained in the same way as standard extinguishers. Regular maintenance helps ensure each unit remains safe, accessible, pressurised and ready for use.
- Are designer fire extinguishers suitable for listed buildings?
- Designer fire extinguishers can be particularly useful in listed or heritage buildings where standard red extinguishers may feel visually disruptive. Stands can also help reduce the need for wall mounting where fixtures or finishes need to be protected.
- Can Asco supply designer fire extinguishers across the UK?
- Yes, Asco supports businesses across Scotland and the wider UK through the LS Fire Group. Our team can advise on designer fire extinguisher options, supply suitable products, support installation and provide ongoing maintenance where required.
