Control Smoke. Protect Lives. Ensure Compliance.
A Smoke Ventilation System is a critical safety feature in buildings designed to remove smoke, heat, and toxic gases during a fire. By controlling smoke movement, these systems help maintain clear escape routes, improve visibility for safe evacuation, and assist firefighters in controlling the fire.
Smoke ventilation systems typically include automatic smoke vents, fans, dampers, and control panels. These systems are strategically installed in areas such as stairwells, corridors, lobbies, and atriums, where smoke can accumulate and block safe exits.
Smoke ventilation systems are essential for maintaining clear escape routes, aiding firefighting efforts, and reducing smoke damage during a fire. At [Your Company Name], we design and install high-efficiency smoke control systems tailored to each building’s structure and safety needs.
What is a Smoke Ventilation System?
A smoke ventilation system removes smoke, heat, and toxic gases from a building during a fire. It:
-
Helps occupants evacuate safely
-
Improves visibility for firefighters
-
Minimizes structural damage
-
Prevents flashover and backdraft
These systems are crucial in high-rise buildings, underground structures, and large commercial spaces.
Types of Smoke Ventilation Systems
We offer solutions for both natural and mechanical smoke control:
-
Natural Smoke Ventilation
Uses roof vents, windows, and louvres that open automatically during a fire.-
Low energy use
-
Ideal for stairwells, atriums, lobbies
-
-
Mechanical Smoke Extraction
Uses fans and duct systems to extract smoke from escape routes and fire zones.-
Suitable for basements, corridors, and enclosed areas
-
Provides consistent airflow control
-
-
Pressurization Systems
Keeps escape routes like stairwells and lift shafts clear of smoke by maintaining higher air pressure.
