What We Do

uPVC Smoke Vents for AOV & Natural Smoke Ventilation

UPVC smoke vents can be a practical choice where the vent needs to match existing uPVC windows or a residential façade. Compared with aluminium-framed glazed vents, uPVC can offer a straightforward, low-maintenance solution for suitable residential AOV applications.

The final vent type, size, glazing and actuator are selected to suit the building design, required opening and smoke ventilation system. We supply, install and commission suitable uPVC smoke vents as part of the wider AOV system across the UK.

What BLEC UPVC smoke vents does

BLEC uPVC smoke vents offer a practical option for residential AOV and natural smoke ventilation where a uPVC-framed opening suits the building and existing window design. They provide an automatically operated vent while keeping the appearance and construction appropriate for residential applications.

We assess the building and specify the vent and actuator around the required smoke ventilation arrangement, then handle supply, installation and commissioning. Our uPVC smoke vent solutions are available for new-build, refurbishment and retrofit projects across the UK.
