Smoke Ventilation

Our range of smoke ventilation skylights offers reliable performance, weather-resistant construction and integration with automatic control systems. When safety is a priority, these skylights deliver certified smoke extraction alongside powerful natural lighting — all from a single, engineered solution.

What Are Smoke Ventilation Skylights?

Smoke ventilation skylights are roof glazing units that:

• Provide abundant natural daylight through high-quality glazed panels
• Operate automatically to extract smoke and hot air in the event of fire
• Integrate with building control or fire alarm systems
• Improve daytime ventilation when configured for opening operation

These rooflights help buildings meet regulatory smoke ventilation requirements while enhancing occupant comfort with light and fresh air.

Key Benefits

• Safety & Compliance: Engineered to support smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) systems and meet relevant safety standards.
• Maximise Daylight: Large glazed areas flood interior spaces with natural light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
• Automatic Operation: Integrated actuator systems open the skylight automatically when triggered by fire controls.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Opening configurations also support everyday ventilation, reducing heat and humidity.
• Durable & Weather-Resistant: Manufactured with robust materials to withstand external conditions with long-lasting performance.

Ideal for Commercial & Public Spaces

Flat roof smoke ventilation skylights are well-suited to:

• Schools and universities
• Offices and retail spaces
• Warehouses and industrial units
• Leisure facilities and community buildings
• Multi-storey homes or apartment blocks

They’re designed for larger openings where both safety ventilation and daylighting are essential.

Smart Integration & Control

These smoke ventilation rooflights can be installed alongside:

• Automatic detectors and alarms
