Key Benefits Across Our Smoke Vents 

  • Protect Structural Integrity: Our vents quickly expel heat and smoke, safeguarding the structure from heat-induced damage and preserving the property's integrity. By efficiently removing smoke, they also prevent the deterioration of materials, ensuring the building remains strong and secure.
  • Clear Escape Routes: Best Access Doors' smoke vents rapidly clear smoke and heat, clearing escape routes and ensuring occupants have a safe and visible path during a fire emergency. This greatly increases the chances of safe egress and reduces the risk of smoke inhalation. 
  • Improve Air Quality: We offer smoke vents that can also be used to improve indoor air quality by removing dust and other pollutants. 
  • Prevent Heat Build-Up: We offer smoke vents that rapidly remove heat generated by a fire, preventing dangerous heat build-up within the building. This reduces the risk of structural damage, flashovers, and the unnecessary activation of fire suppression systems. 

Commonly Asked Questions 

What are smoke vents for? 

Smoke vents are designed to safeguard lives and property by venting smoke and heat from a building during a fire. This crucial function improves visibility, creates safer escape routes for occupants, and minimizes damage. 

What is the difference between a skylight and a smoke vent? 

While skylights and smoke vents are installed on roofs, skylights are primarily designed to bring in natural light and ventilation. In contrast, smoke vents are specifically engineered to expel smoke and heat during a fire rapidly.

What are the benefits of smoke ventilation? 

Smoke ventilation systems offer numerous benefits during a fire by rapidly removing smoke and heat. This improves visibility, allowing occupants to navigate escape routes safely, and creates a more breathable environment by reducing the risk of smoke inhalation. These systems also assist firefighters by clearing the area so they can navigate it effectively. 

Where is smoke ventilation required? 

Smoke ventilation is often required in commercial and industrial buildings, such as shopping centers, hospitals, factories, and warehouses. It can also benefit certain residential settings, such as large apartment complexes or multi-story homes.

Smoke vents can be activated automatically by heat or smoke detectors, or manually by a fire alarm system or a firefighter. The activation mechanism triggers the vents to open, allowing smoke and heat to escape.
