Given the wide range of smoke ventilation systems available – from simple natural systems to more complex but efficient mechanical systems – it may seem difficult at first to identify which is the right fit for your project.
The type of smoke venting system that you require is determined by several factors, however the purpose of a well-designed smoke ventilation system is always the same; protecting escape routes such as corridors and staircases to allow occupants to escape while providing access for the fire service.

One of the outcomes of the Grenfell Tower enquiry Phase 1 report was that there was a lack of on-site information available to the Fire Brigade on the night of the fire. Consequently, The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have made it a legal requirement for residential buildings abovre 7 storeys or 18 metres to have secure information boxes containing key fire safety plans located on the premises.
Nearly three years since the Hackitt Report’s publishing, the construction industry has been subjected to gradual changes by introducing regulations. However, the industry will likely face more changes to the legislature.
