Smoke Control Systems
‘Smoke Control’ is a term used to describe the designing and installation of systems that should effectively extract smoke from a building in the event of a fire occurring. The aim of this is to ensure protection of people, property and assets while making access for fire fighters as clear and safe as possible.
A well designed smoke control system should:
- Protect the occupants within the building
- Ensure access and escape routes are kept smoke free
- Facilitate fire-fighting efforts and operations
- Reduce the risk of the fire developing further by delaying or preventing flashover
- Protect the contents of the building
- Aid in reducing risk of damage to buildings
At Rocburn Limited, we’re passionate about making both domestic and commercial buildings as safe for all occupants and fire fighters so our smoke ventilation and smoke control systems are governed by standards such as BS EN12101 and Approved Document B.

Cold Smoke Ventilation Purpose
A smoke vent system is used to give a clear escape route in a multi occupancy building, these can either be single zone systems for a stairwell or more complex multi zone systems where lobby areas would need to activate in conjunction with the stairwell to clear the escape route of smoke.
These systems are designed to comply to EN 12101 standards and have battery back up so will open the vent(s) in the event of a power failure.

Stairwell Windows: 1mtr square free vent area at 90 degrees from the opening vent.
Lobby Windows: 1.5mtr square free vent area at 90 degrees from the opening vent.
