What We Do

Glazed smoke ventilation for modern buildings

Aluminium glazed smoke vents provide a clean architectural solution where conventional smoke ventilation equipment may not suit the appearance of the building.

The vent can be incorporated into suitable roof or façade applications and connected to an AOV control system for automatic operation when the required activation signal is received.

What BLEC glazed smoke vents does

BLEC glazed smoke vents provide an architectural solution for suitable AOV and smoke ventilation applications, combining glazed panels with aluminium framing to integrate smoke ventilation with the building design.

We design, supply and install AOV and smoke ventilation systems for residential and commercial buildings across the South West and throughout the UK, with systems specified to suit the building, application and project requirements. Our AOV services cover design, installation, commissioning, servicing and ongoing maintenance.

How a glazed smoke vent works

Panel sends the command → Actuator drives the panel open → Vent reaches full open → Position is confirmed

Vent types

Glazed vent opening options

Every vent below is selected against the façade it’s specified for and tested as part of the vent system to BS EN 12101-2.

Top-Hung Vents

Hinged at the head, opening outward at the sill for high-level façade positions.

  • Stairwell façades
  • High-level glazing
  • Atria

Side-Hung Vents

Hinged at the side and opening outwards, suitable for selected façade and glazing applications.

  • Lower-level façades
  • Accessible openings
  • Retrofit projects

Fixed & Vent Combinations

An opening vent can be incorporated alongside fixed glazing to create a consistent glazed elevation.

  • Curtain walling
  • Feature façades
  • Mixed glazing elevations
Features

Glazed smoke ventilation built around your project

We specify each glazed smoke vent around the building, from frame and glazing to finishes, controls and required smoke ventilation performance.

Thermally broken aluminium

Frame profile isolates internal and external sections to reduce cold bridging and condensation risk.

Double glazed options

Specified against the building's thermal and acoustic requirements alongside its smoke ventilation duty.

Bespoke sizing

Manufactured to match the opening in your curtain walling or façade design, not a fixed catalogue size.

Actuator-driven, panel integrated

Chain or spindle actuator wired directly to a BLEC smoke vent control panel's terminal schedule.

Certified smoke ventilation systems

Every vent is manufactured and tested as part of a system to BS EN 12101-2, installed under BS 7346-8.

Fire alarm & BMS integration

Interfaces to BS 5839 fire alarm systems and building management systems for automatic activation and status reporting.

Yes, where the specified vent system and façade design allow it. Glazed smoke vents can be specified to integrate with the surrounding façade, with the final configuration confirmed during survey and design.

Double-glazed configurations can be specified where suitable for the project. Glazing requirements should be considered alongside the building design and smoke ventilation requirements.

A glazed smoke vent is part of an AOV smoke ventilation system and is operated automatically by an actuator when the system receives the required activation signal. BLEC designs, installs and commissions AOV systems to BS 7346-8.

They form part of the wider AOV system and should be tested and maintained as part of that system. BLEC’s AOV servicing includes vent operation, control panel checks and actuator verification, with servicing to BS 7346-8.
