Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs)

We often hear about compliance when it comes to smoke ventilation solutions but sadly few companies are able to offer a truly compliant solution.

A Plus together with our key strategic partner Silver Group and certified partnership with SE Controls are the first suppliers in the UK to be able to offer a truly compliant solution from design to install, commissioning and subsequent maintenance providing commercial builders with a complete solution that is legally compliant.

What are smoke vents?

Automatic Opening Vent Systems (AOVs) or Smoke Ventilation Systems are a critical part of any building’s fire safety requirements. When triggered by heat or smoke detectors, these windows open automatically allowing for the natural ventilation of air and smoke enabling you to integrate automatic windows and sources of ventilation into an optimised fire safety system.

Although best suited to new projects, which allow you to integrate an AOV into the structure of complex buildings as a comprehensive, natural ventilation system, they can also be fitted to existing projects as part of an integrated fire safety or smoke control solution.
