AOV & Smoke Ventilation · Architectural Louvres

Smoke ventilation louvres specified for your project

We can survey the building, assess the smoke ventilation requirements and specify a suitable louvre and control arrangement. We supply, install and commission AOV and smoke ventilation systems across the UK, with servicing and maintenance available.

Architectural Louvres
What We Do

Architectural louvres designed for smoke ventilation

Smoke ventilation openings do not always need to look like traditional ventilation equipment. Architectural louvres can provide the required ventilation opening while integrating more naturally with the surrounding façade.

We specify the louvre arrangement around the project, considering the available opening, required airflow, façade design, operation and associated smoke control equipment.

For AOV applications, the louvre can be connected to the control system and actuator so that it operates automatically when the required activation signal is received.

How smoke ventilation louvres work

Panel sends the command → Linkage opens the blades → Smoke or air vents through → Position is confirmed

Vent types

Louvre options for smoke ventilation

We specify aluminium louvre systems to suit the building, application and ventilation requirements, with the louvre, actuator and controls confirmed against the project specification.

Modern Aluminium Ventilation Louvres

Fixed Louvres

Fixed louvres provide permanent ventilation openings and can be used alongside smoke ventilation installations where separate ventilation or airflow openings are required.

  • Plant and service areas
  • Ventilation openings
  • Building façades
  • Residential developments

Smoke Vent Louvres

Purpose-designed smoke vent louvres can form part of a natural smoke ventilation or smoke control system where the selected product is suitable for the application.

  • Residential buildings
  • Smoke shafts
  • Stairwell and corridor systems
  • Commercial developments
Industrial Motorised Louvre Facade

Motorised Louvres

Motorised louvres provide controlled opening and closing where automatic operation is required as part of the ventilation or smoke control system.

  • Smoke ventilation
  • Mechanical ventilation
  • Controlled airflow
  • Building services areas
Acoustic Louvres

Acoustic Louvres

Acoustic louvres can be considered where ventilation openings also require acoustic control. Performance depends on the selected product.

  • Plant rooms
  • Residential developments
  • Mechanical services areas
  • Noise-sensitive locations

Weather Louvres

Weather louvres can help protect ventilation openings from wind-driven rain while maintaining the required airflow through the opening.

  • External ventilation openings
  • Plant rooms
  • Mechanical ventilation
  • Building services areas

Yes. We can survey, specify, supply, install and commission suitable smoke ventilation louvres as part of the wider AOV system.

Yes. We install AOV systems in both new and existing buildings, including refurbishment and retrofit projects.

Finish options depend on the selected louvre product and manufacturer. We confirm the available finishes as part of the project specification.

Yes. Where the selected louvre is designed for AOV use, it can be connected to the control system and actuator so that it operates when the required activation signal is received.

The correct louvre depends on the building, opening size, required airflow, installation position, control arrangement and the performance requirements of the smoke ventilation system. We assess these factors during the survey before confirming the specification.

Depending on the project, our service can include site survey, product specification, supply of the louvre and associated equipment, installation, connection to the AOV controls and commissioning. We can also provide ongoing servicing and maintenance.
