Smoke ventilation
A smoke ventilation system is designed to swiftly remove smoke from buildings during fire incidents. By automatically opening high-level smoke vents and allowing replacement air to enter through low-level openings, our systems effectively facilitate smoke evacuation, enhancing safety.
Get in touchWhat is natural smoke ventilation?
Natural smoke ventilation – or SHEV – involves the automatic opening of high-level smoke vents (skylights, windows, or proprietary smoke vents) to quickly remove smoke during a fire incident. As the high-level smoke vents let out the smoke, the low-level openings allow fresh air to enter, causing smoke evacuation through the high-level smoke vents. These systems typically utilise smoke vents for high-level venting, complemented by low-level openings for intake. Our natural smoke ventilation systems ensure rapid smoke extraction, enabling people to evacuate safely through escape routes and reducing the risk of fatality. By harnessing the principles of natural airflow, WindowMaster's solutions offer effective smoke management without relying only on mechanical systems, providing a safe and energy-efficient approach to smoke control. We always strive to implement sustainable solutions in your project.

Smoke vent plus comfort ventilation
Natural smoke ventilation not only creates safety and security for the users of the building, but it also provides the opportunity for comfort ventilation. The openings in the facade and roof can ventilate every day to provide a pleasant indoor climate. In combination with weather stations and/or sensors, the actuators can be intelligently operated. This reduces the demand for building cooling and ventilation systems, reducing energy consumption and improving air quality. In a comfort ventilation system, both indoor and outdoor climate conditions are monitored. This ensures that the windows open and close at the appropriate moments and that the indoor CO2 levels stay within optimal levels. Thermal comfort of the indoor occupants is also a key focus of this type of system. So, a smoke safety solution is not just an investment in the protection of building occupants in case of fire. It also becomes an active part of providing users with a balanced day-to-day indoor climate that is environmentally friendly.
