Understanding Automatic Opening Vent Systems
AOV systems as safety installations that activate during fire conditions to release smoke and heat from a building. These systems use components such as roof vents, louvres, and control panels connected to detection equipment. By creating a clear air layer above escape routes, visibility is improved, and smoke inhalation risk is reduced. At EK Fire Protection, we focus on helping buildings maintain safer evacuation paths through correctly designed smoke ventilation solutions.

Where Smoke Ventilation Supports Fire Safety Compliance
We install and maintain smoke ventilation systems across residential blocks, commercial premises, public buildings, and industrial spaces. These environments often require controlled smoke clearance to protect stairwells, corridors, and shared access areas. We also conduct risk assessments and provide emergency lighting solutions to ensure safe evacuation routes. By maintaining all systems in line with current fire safety regulations, we help building owners and managers meet their legal obligations. Regular testing and servicing ensure continued compliance and dependable performance.
