New Thermally Broken Aluminium Vents

Enhance your glazing applications with our advanced automatic opening vents (AOVs), designed for optimal performance in both ventilation systems and smoke ventilation systems. Our latest innovation features drained, low-profile, thermally broken opening vents, welded using cutting-edge automated robotic technology.  This advanced method surpasses the industry standard crimp or cleated designs, ensuring a more robust and weatherproof solution. Our innovative designs ensure superior control over your internal environment while providing critical safety features for buildings in the event of an emergency.

Key features:

  • Durability: Robotic welding enhances strength and weather resistance.
  • Safety Compliance: Seamlessly integrates with fire alarms, smoke detectors, and Building Management Systems (BMS).
  • Compatibility: Accommodates 28mm–36mm thick double or triple glazed units.
  • Versatility: Operable with manual, remote-controlled, and electrical gearing for day-to-day ventilation or during the event of a fire.
