Fire safety in industrial and commercial buildings depends heavily on how effectively smoke and heat are managed during an emergency. Poor smoke control reduces visibility, delays evacuation, and increases structural and asset damage. This is where certified smoke ventilation systems play a critical role.
At Curvent, the Fire-X 1620 smoke ventilator has been engineered to meet these challenges head-on—combining proven performance, compliance, and long-term durability.
Effective Smoke Ventilation When It Matters Most
The primary function of a smoke ventilator is to rapidly remove smoke and hot gases during a fire. The Curvent Fire-X 1620 is designed to open reliably and create effective smoke exhaust paths, helping to:
Improve visibility for occupants and emergency responders
Support safer evacuation routes
Reduce heat build-up within the building
Limit secondary fire damage
This makes the Fire-X 1620 well suited to warehouses, factories, logistics centres, and other large-volume buildings.
EN12101-2 Certified – With Ongoing Annual Audits
Compliance is not a once-off event. The Fire-X 1620 is EN12101-2 certified, meaning it has been independently tested and approved in line with European smoke and heat exhaust ventilation standards.
Importantly, this certification is supported by annual audits, ensuring that manufacturing quality, performance, and consistency are maintained year after year. For building owners, consultants, and insurers, this provides confidence that the system installed today will perform as expected in the future.
Engineered to Prevent Water Leakage
Smoke ventilators must perform in extreme conditions—but also protect buildings during everyday operation. The Fire-X 1620 features carefully engineered seals and construction methods that provide effective water-leakage protection.
This design approach helps prevent:
Roof leaks during heavy rain
Long-term water damage to building interiors
Costly maintenance and call-backs
Curvent backs this with clear water-leakage guarantees, offering additional peace of mind.
Robust Integrity by Design
Durability is built into the Fire-X 1620. Its robust construction is designed to maintain integrity under demanding environmental conditions, including wind, weather exposure, and operational stress.
This strength ensures:
Long service life
Reliable operation when activated
Reduced maintenance requirements
