Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers

Dry powder extinguishers are the all-purpose, multi-use heroes amongst fire extinguishers. They contain a multi-purpose powder, known as an ABC powder, because it can be used on Class A B and C fires.

Fire Types and Multi-Purpose Powder Extinguishers

Class A fires are those that involve materials that burn easily, such as wood, paper, and cloth. Look around your home, and you'll see just how much of your home furnishing come under these three categories. That's why a multi-purpose powder extinguisher such as our Kidde 1kg dry powder or budget 2kg powder extinguishers will help extinguish fires in your lounge, bedrooms or anywhere with soft furnishings.

Class B fires involve flammable liquids, such as petrol, diesel and flammable spirits such as methylated spirits and white spirit. Therefore a dry powder extinguisher is ideal for your garage or home workshop, especially as it can also tackle small fires involving flammable gas.

Best of all, multi-purpose powder fire extinguishers can be used on live electrical equipment without risk of shocks, so one of our Thomas Glover manufactured 1kg or 2kg extinguishers are perfect for your home office or next to the plasma screen!

Quality Powder Fire Extinguishers, Budget Prices

Our powder fire extinguishers are made by Thomas Glover & Co, part of the United Technologies Group that also owns Chubb Fire, Kidde, Angus and many others. All our dry powder extinguishers have genuine full BSi Kitemark to BS EN 3, British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE) certification, CE Mark (legal requirement under Pressure Equipment Directive - PED) and a full manufacturer's guarantee.

We cannot stress how dangerous some extinguishers can be without the correct approvals. Terms such as "complies with BS EN3" can means that the item has not been tested to any written programme or standard. Always look for the Kitemark as a sign of both compliance and quality.

We supply powder extinguishers in a variety of sizes, from small 1kg powder fire extinguishers for cars, 2kg extinguishers for the home, plus 4kg, 6kg and 9kgs for offices, hotels, industrial premises, manufacturing and any location with space for fire to spread. If you want your fire extinguishers to look as cool and laid back as your business premises, choose our high polish chrome fire extinguisher, almost a work of art in itself!

Why our budget fire extinguisher are such great value

First of all, let's be clear our fire extinguishers are not 'cheap fire extinguishers' as such; they all conform to British safety standards, unlike many cheaper imports. So they look and work just like their big brand brothers, and the reason is simple; they are made by the same manufacturer to the same high standards. So, with our range of low cost extinguishers, it can be cheaper to replace rather than refill when the time for servicing comes around. And since almost every part of a fire extinguisher can be recycled including unused contents, it's also a remarkably eco-friendly way to keep your premises protected.

All of our powder fire extinguishers, whether standard or budget priced come with:

• Low Price Guarantee
• 60-Day Free Returns Guarantee
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
• 5 Year Manufacturer Warranty
• Next Day Delivery

Don't forget the safety signs

Remember in order to comply with Fire Regulations, all fire extinguishers in public places of workplaces must be displayed with an appropriate fire safety sign. If you don't want to stick signs on your designer wallpaper or similar, we sell a range of freestanding fire extinguisher stands.
