Holyhead Market roof glazing - architect glass solutions

Overview

Our opening vents have been designed to be operated by a wide variety of manual, remote controlled and electrical gearing. They can be used for day to day ventilation and in conjunction with a BMS (Building Management System).

Our systems offer seamless integration with modern building ventilation systems, enabling both natural ventilation and smart climate control. Whether you’re looking for electric actuators, manual window openers or remote control gear, our solutions suit both domestic and commercial environments.

These systems typically use electric actuators and vent openers to deliver efficient airflow control. Ideal for spaces requiring low-maintenance and automated responses – such as schools, offices and residential buildings.

Manual Gearing

For the most economical solution, consider controlling our opening vents with a manual gear. Ideal for situations where the operator can physically open the vents by hand, using a detachable mechanical pole or an endless cord.

Our manual systems function similarly to components in a manual transmission system – simple, reliable and effective. Using elements like screw jacks and winding poles, the system disengages effortlessly – just like when taking your foot off the clutch. Click below to learn more about our manual opening systems.

Fire & Smoke Control Systems

Based on our experience with specialist smoke and ventilation sub-contractors, we have outlined below important points regarding fire and smoke controlled systems.

Fire and smoke control systems require a far greater input from the specifier or client compared with the normal ventilation products that we offer.

These are not standard vent openers – they are part of specialist ventilation systems designed for code compliance and safety. For fire-rated performance, integration with smoke control panels and electric actuators is essential. Click below to learn more
