Hi there,

I've rented a studio space in a commercial property that has a sprinkler system. I have a clothes steamer and a hot plate for mixing dyes, do you know whether this is likely to set the sprinklers off?

The air temperature at the sprinkler will have to be above 56 degrees centigrade. If your steamer and hot plate can do this then yes it will set it off.

Being as its steam, I would suggest when in use you keep a couple of windows open to prevent mould growth.
