Smoke Control Systems

Smoke Control Systems, commonly known as AOV’s are available in many types of systems but all have the same purpose in mind.

AOV Smoke Control

Smoke control systems are a requirement for multi storey residential and public buildings, principally designed to protect the stairways and assist in escape using these routes in the event of a fire. The purpose of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) systems is to lead smoke and heat out of a burning building, whilst keeping escape corridors and stairs free of smoke for the safe escape of the buildings occupants, and to allow clearer access for fire fighters.

Building’s occupants’ safety relies on your regular maintenance of the Automatic Opening Ventilation (A.O.V.) system. This needs to be serviced and maintained at least once a year to conform to BS 7346, BS 5588 and EN 12101. It is recommended that an A.O.V. system is regularly serviced and maintained by specialised personnel on a regular basis.

A correctly installed and maintained smoke control system has the effect of increasing the escape time for the buildings’ occupants, thus potentially saving their lives.

Upon smoke being detected via a smoke detector, the AOV’s (automatic opening vents), louvres or doors via electric actuators (motors) or magnetic locks will automatically open.

We can provide you the correct solution for you smoke control needs.

I could not recommend them enough

I am really pleased with the service provided by Artius Fire Protection. As a leaseholder with Westminster Council, I took the initiative to upgrade my front door, which was over 25 years old, to an approved FD30 rated fire door. After extensive research, I encountered several companies, but many were only interested if I was part of a larger bulk order. Artius Fire Protection, on the other hand, was more than happy to assist with a one-door installation tailored to my needs. They were very responsive and provided full support during the process of replacing my door with the council, which was not exactly straightforward. They even arranged for door colour samples to be sent to my address to help me decide on the best colour. During the initial consultation to help me choose the right door for me, my emails were always answered almost immediately. Based on my experience, I could not recommend them enough.
