Smoke extraction windows at a glance

Smoke extraction windows offer safety and an optimum indoor climate - ideal for modern buildings.
Smoke extraction windows (SHEV windows for short) ensure that toxic smoke gases are quickly and effectively extracted in the event of a fire. This not only protects the building structure, but above all also human lives. Escape routes remain smoke-free and the emergency services can act more quickly.

The function of smoke extraction windows

Smoke extraction windows work in conjunction with smoke detectors and control units that signal the window to open when smoke develops. Electric motors ensure that the windows open quickly.

Expansion options for daily ventilation

In addition to the safety-relevant function of smoke vent windows, modern systems offer additional benefits for everyday use. For example, motorised SHEV windows enable efficient and natural ventilation.

Intelligent ventilation systems that optimise the indoor climate are particularly practical. Sensor-based control systems are used to optimise parameters such as:

  • Wind strength and direction
  • Outside temperature and precipitation
  • room temperature
  • air humidity
  • CO2 content

continuously. With the help of this data, the ventilation adapts to the current conditions. This not only increases comfort, but also enables energy savings. Fresh air only flows into the rooms when it is actually needed, while stale air is automatically extracted.

SHEV windows are used in numerous types of buildings. They are widely used in public facilities such as schools, hospitals and shopping centres. Modern office buildings also use SHEV windows to improve the indoor climate.
 

SHEV windows are also used in multi-storey car parks and event halls. Smoke extraction windows are therefore an indispensable component of modern safety and ventilation systems that create safe and comfortable living and working environments.
