Automatic Opening Vent System

Smart Smoke Control That Activates When It Matters Most

Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) systems are an essential part of modern smoke control solutions. Designed to open automatically during a fire, they release smoke and heat, keeping escape routes clear and helping emergency services respond effectively.

At [Your Company Name], we specialize in designing, supplying, and maintaining AOV systems that meet safety regulations and enhance building protection.


What is an AOV System?

An AOV (Automatic Opening Vent) system is a smoke ventilation solution that opens windows, roof vents, or louvres when triggered by:

  • Smoke detectors

  • Fire alarm systems

  • Manual call points

The system is either electrically or pneumatically operated, and it helps:

  • Extract smoke and hot gases

  • Provide breathable air for evacuation

  • Maintain visibility in corridors and stairwells
