AUTOMATIC OPENING VENTS

Automatic opening vents are a ventilation and fire safety system used to control smoke when triggered by a fire. Automatic opening vents are triggered by heat or smoke and work by opening automatically to allow for the circulation of smoke and air in the event of a fire. Having a high-quality automatic opening vent system can work to protect your occupants, property, and contents in the event of a fire, acting as a damage control system until emergency services come to your premises. The team at SRS Alert Fire Systems Ltd offers comprehensive installation and maintenance services for automatic opening vent systems for residential and commercial customers in accordance with B.S. 7346 Part 1 1990.
