Malls & Retail
Turnkey fire suppression for shopping malls and large retail buildings
Overview
Malls require comprehensive fire protection due to high visitor density, large open volumes and numerous commercial kitchens. A mall fire suppression system requires running sprinklers, addressable detection, smoke ventilation, fire compartmentation and kitchen hood suppression as an integrated whole. A-Pro delivers hydraulic calculation, smoke-control design, fire-department approval and commissioning under one roof. We start with a free site survey in Ankara and surrounding provinces.
How it works
Sprinkler Requirement
Sprinklers are mandatory in malls, department stores and entertainment venues exceeding 2,000 m² total area (Article 96).
Addressable Detection
Addressable automatic detection is mandatory in retail buildings above 12.50 m height or 2,000 m² (Annex-7).
Fire Compartment
A fire compartment in malls is limited to 2,000 m², supported by smoke curtains and fire dampers.
Smoke Ventilation & Control
Mechanical smoke extraction in atria and large volumes keeps escape routes clear and eases intervention.
Kitchen Suppression
Wet-chemical hood suppression is mandatory in food-court commercial kitchens serving 100+ people (Article 57).
Fire-Brigade Riser
A fire-brigade dry riser is mandatory in malls whose floor area exceeds 1,000 m² (Article 97).

Frequently asked questions
At what area is a sprinkler mandatory in a mall?+
Sprinklers are mandatory in malls, department stores and entertainment venues exceeding 2,000 m² total area (Article 96).
What is the mall compartment area?+
A fire compartment in malls can be at most 2,000 m², divided by smoke curtains and fire dampers.
What drives the cost of a mall fire suppression system?+
It depends on total area, storey count, atrium volume, food court and existing infrastructure. A clear quote is shared after a free survey.
Can installation/revision be done while the mall is open?+
Yes. Phased and night work minimizes disruption to commercial operations during installation and revision.
Is suppression mandatory for food-court kitchens?+
Wet-chemical hood suppression is mandatory in commercial kitchens serving 100+ people (Article 57).
