What is a method of roof ventilation that reduces the exposure to smoke and initially prevents cutting the supporting roof joists?
Smoke ventilation allows the creation of a smoke free layer above the floor by removing smoke. This improves the conditions for safe escape and permits the fire to be fought in its early stages.

The systems are designed to create a smoke free layer above the floor by removing smoke from the building. This is achieved by using the natural buoyancy of the hot gases to rise and exhaust through automatic opening vents.

Building owners, designers, developers and stakeholders share a responsibility to reduce the risk of fire. If a fire does occur the occupants must be protected.
