Prioritise building safety without sacrificing natural light using VELUX smoke ventilation windows. Essential for stairwells, corridors and annexes in both residential and commercial properties, these windows are engineered to automatically extract smoke and heat in the event of a fire, helping to keep escape routes clear and compliant with safety regulations.
In an emergency, the system automatically opens the sash to rapidly release smoke. For day-to-day use, it functions as a high-quality roof window, offering comfortable background ventilation and daylight. The system is designed to be paired with VELUX control units, smoke sensors and break-glass points for a complete, integrated safety solution.
Our range includes pine and maintenance-free centre pivot models to suit different interior styles. The white polyurethane finish is particularly recommended for high-reach areas or humid environments. VELUX smoke vents provide peace of mind, durability and a discreet appearance that blends with your roofline.
