Our range of smoke vent solutions is engineered to provide essential life safety protection in the event of a fire. Specifically designed for stairwells and common areas, these smoke vent roof dome window units (Automated Opening Ventilators) trigger automatically to clear smoke, maintaining visibility for evacuation and emergency services. Fully certified to EN12101-2, our collection includes high-performance domes from trusted manufacturers, ensuring your project meets all mandatory UK Building Regulations and fire safety standards.
In a fire emergency, smoke inhalation is often a greater risk than the heat itself. A smoke vent window is a critical component of a buildingās Fire Strategy. These systems are designed to open to a 140° or 160° angle within 60 seconds of activation, creating a clear path for smoke to escape. By exhausting toxic fumes, these units keep exit routes clear and help prevent the “flashover” effect by venting heat.
When specifying a smoke vent, compliance is non-negotiable. All units supplied by LB Supplies are tested as complete assemblies (dome, upstand, and actuator) to ensure they perform under extreme conditions.
A high-performance smoke vent window requires a sophisticated control interface. We supply comprehensive kits that include:
Correct sizing is vital to ensure the “Geometric Free Area” meets the requirements set out by the fire officer or architect. Whether you require a standard 1000mm x 1000mm unit for a residential stairwell or a larger bespoke solution for a commercial lobby, our technical team is on hand to provide the necessary calculations and certification.
