When doors are open the louvers will not be activated by the smoke detection signal as it will not be necessary.

This building has special architectural features and was designed to have an industrial look. The client did not want to lose this by closing the gable ends of the building with louvers however they did have to close it with something to prevent the ingress of water in inclement weather. This resulted in the need for smoke ventilation in the same time with the building being closed. We offered them the Fire-X Vertical Lumina ventilators which was the best and most cost effective product to conform to the client’s requirements. Our product also fits in very well with the industrial aesthetics.
