Who Is Responsible for Carrying Out Fire Risk Assessments?
Designer Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers play an essential role in protecting people and property, but traditional red cylinders do not always complement the appearance of carefully designed commercial interiors.
Hoyles Fire & Safety supplies designer fire extinguishers in gold, copper and antique brass finishes, providing businesses with a more considered alternative for visible and customer-facing areas. The range is suitable for hotels, restaurants, bars, retail spaces, offices, heritage properties and other premises where presentation is important.
Whether you require a gold fire extinguisher for a premium reception area, a copper fire extinguisher for an industrial-style restaurant or an antique brass finish for a character property, our team can help you select a suitable extinguisher type, finish, stand and signage arrangement.
We support businesses throughout West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield, with wider UK coverage available through the LS Fire Group.
Fire Extinguishers for Design-Led Commercial Spaces
Fire safety equipment must remain visible, accessible and suitable for the risks within a building. However, this does not mean it needs to conflict with the surrounding décor.
Designer fire extinguishers offer a polished alternative to standard red cylinders in premises where the interior, customer experience and overall presentation have been carefully planned. Gold, copper and antique brass finishes can complement a variety of materials and design styles while helping essential equipment feel more coordinated with its surroundings.
They may be particularly suitable for boutique hotels, restaurants, bars, private members’ clubs, wedding venues, retail stores, galleries, reception areas and heritage buildings across Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and the wider West Yorkshire region.
Combining Interior Design With Practical Fire Protection
The appearance of a designer fire extinguisher should never take priority over its suitability. The correct extinguisher must be selected according to the fire hazards present, the area it needs to protect and the findings of the building’s fire risk assessment.
Hoyles can advise on the appropriate combination of extinguisher type and decorative finish for your premises. Available options include foam, water and CO₂ fire extinguishers, depending on the risks within each area.
We can also provide guidance on positioning, visibility, signage and mounting arrangements, helping ensure each designer fire extinguisher remains easy to identify and access during an emergency.
Our designer fire extinguishers
Copper fire extinguisher
A copper fire extinguisher offers a warm metallic appearance with distinctive red and brown tones. Copper fire extinguishers are particularly well suited to interiors featuring exposed brickwork, timber, leather, warm lighting or industrial-style details, making them a popular choice for restaurants, bars, boutiques and character properties.
Gold fire extinguisher
A gold fire extinguisher provides a bright, polished finish that works well in premium and contemporary commercial interiors. Its high-shine appearance can complement gold fixtures, decorative lighting and carefully coordinated design features in hotels, restaurants, luxury retail spaces and reception areas.
Antique brass fire extinguisher
An antique brass fire extinguisher has a more traditional and understated appearance than a highly polished gold finish. Its muted golden tones can complement period features, heritage interiors, darker colour schemes and traditional furnishings, making it suitable for historic properties, hotels, event venues and refined hospitality settings.
Matching Stands and Signage
Matching stands and signage can be supplied to create a coordinated fire safety point that complements the chosen extinguisher finish.
Available options include single and double extinguisher stands alongside portrait and landscape signs. Freestanding arrangements can be particularly useful in reception areas, open-plan spaces and heritage properties where fixing equipment directly to a finished or protected wall may not be appropriate.
Although the presentation can be tailored to the interior, the extinguisher and its signage must remain clearly visible and easy to access.
Available extinguisher types
Water fire extinguishers
Water fire extinguishers are designed for Class A fires involving common combustible materials such as paper, wood and some textiles. They are frequently used in offices, hotels, schools, shops and other commercial premises where these materials represent the main fire risk.
CO₂ fire extinguishers
CO₂ fire extinguishers are commonly provided in areas containing electrical equipment, including offices, reception spaces and commercial environments with computers, appliances or other electrical installations. They leave no residue after use, although the correct product must always be selected for the risks present.
