Fire protection shouldn’t create constraints.
Traditional fire extinguishers were never designed for modern buildings. They create significant wall projections — forcing design compromises, driving construction changes, and adding hidden costs across the build.
The Problem
In circulation paths and means of egress — where space matters most — fire extinguishers often become the problem. Walls are deepened. Corridors are widened. Wall projections are introduced. Floor space is sacrificed. Designs are adjusted. All to accommodate an object that hasn’t evolved.
The Solution
By reshaping the fire extinguisher to reduce wall projection at the source, Oval eliminates the need to design around fire protection. No workarounds. No redesigns. No added wall depth.
Reduce projection. Unlock space.
Maximize usable floor area where it matters most.
Build within standard conditions.
Fits within standard walls — no deeper assemblies required.
Eliminate downstream changes.
Avoid redesigns, permitting issues, and inspection conflicts.
Reduce cost across the build.
Reduce material, labor, and rework, while recovering usable space.
Designed for accessibility — without driving the design.
Oval facilitates ADA and code requirements by design — not by forcing adjustments elsewhere in the building.
