About Smoke Vents
Smoke Vents is a UK specialist supplier of smoke vents, Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs), Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation (SHEV) units and associated smoke ventilation equipment for commercial, residential and industrial buildings.
With more than 42 years of industry experience, Smoke Vents provides specialist products and technical guidance to help contractors, builders, roofing companies, developers, architects, facilities managers, merchants and private customers identify suitable smoke ventilation solutions. The company operates from Camberley, Surrey and supplies products throughout the UK, with free delivery available to mainland UK on qualifying orders.
AOV Smoke Vents
Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs) are designed to automatically open during a fire to help remove smoke and heat from a building. AOV smoke vents can be incorporated into smoke ventilation strategies for areas including stairwells, corridors, communal areas, apartment buildings, offices, shops, hotels and other commercial or residential properties.
Smoke Vents supplies AOV rooflights and smoke ventilators in a range of configurations, sizes and materials. Depending on the product, options include polycarbonate, glass and insulated aluminium constructions.
Products are available with different opening mechanisms and can be specified with control panels, smoke detectors, manual switches, fireman's switches and battery backup systems.
SHEV Smoke Ventilation Systems
Smoke Vents also supplies SHEV units and components for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems. SHEV systems are designed to help control and exhaust smoke and heat during a fire, supporting safer evacuation and access for emergency services when correctly designed and installed.
The company can assist customers in identifying suitable products according to the building, roof arrangement, ventilation requirements and project specification.
EN 12101-2 Certified Smoke Vents
Selecting a properly tested and certified smoke vent is essential for life-safety applications. Smoke Vents supplies products designed and tested in accordance with the relevant requirements of EN 12101-2.
EN 12101-2 covers natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators and includes performance considerations such as aerodynamic free area, reliability, wind loading, snow loading, low-temperature operation, heat exposure and opening performance.
Customers should always ensure that the selected smoke ventilation system is appropriate for the specific building design and complies with applicable regulations and project requirements.
Smoke Ventilation for Commercial and Residential Buildings
Smoke Vents supplies smoke ventilation products for a wide range of building applications, including:
Different buildings and areas can require different smoke ventilation solutions. The company's technical team can help customers identify products based on opening size, free area, location, mechanism, roof construction and other project requirements.
Smoke Vents by Type
Smoke Vents offers different smoke vent configurations to suit individual applications. Single-leaf smoke vents can provide a compact solution, while double-leaf systems can be suitable where larger ventilation openings are required.
Louvre smoke vents can also be considered for applications where ventilation, wind resistance or security requirements influence the specification.
Roof-mounted smoke vents and AOV rooflights can provide natural smoke and heat exhaust while also allowing natural daylight into the building.
Smoke Vent Control Panels and Accessories
A complete AOV smoke ventilation system may require additional components to operate correctly. Smoke Vents supplies accessories including control panels, fireman's switches, smoke detectors, manual controls and battery backup systems.
These components can be selected to work with compatible smoke vents and AOV systems according to the requirements of the installation.
Access Hatches and Roof Access
In addition to smoke ventilation products, Smoke Vents supplies roof access hatches, access hatch rooflights and associated ladders.
These products can provide safe and practical access to roof areas for maintenance and other purposes. Some AOV configurations can also incorporate roof access functionality where the specific product and application allow.
Technical Advice and Product Support
Choosing an AOV or smoke vent requires consideration of more than the physical dimensions of the opening. Factors including aerodynamic free area, opening angle, wind and snow loading, thermal performance, roof construction, fire safety requirements and control arrangements can influence product selection.
Smoke Vents provides technical information and specialist guidance to help customers select appropriate products for their project. Product documentation, technical information and certification details are available for relevant systems.
