Smoke ventilation systems play a critical role in limiting the spread of smoke during a fire. By clearing smoke and hot gases from affected areas, these systems improve visibility for occupants who need to evacuate and create safer conditions for fire service personnel. Compliance with the latest regulations and industry standards helps ensure the highest level of protection for both people and property.
Why Smoke Ventilation Matters
