Pressure differential systems

INDEPENDENTLY TESTED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF EN12101-6:2022

High-rise buildings demand robust life safety systems to ensure the safe evacuation of occupants. Fires pose a significant threat, with smoke inhalation being the leading cause of fatalities. The fire in the 24-storey residential Grenfell Tower in 2017 Grenfell Tower in London caused 72 deaths and a lot of injuries. The fire spread very quickly and the residents of the apartments were trapped in a smoke clogged building. These tragic events underscore the critical need for effective smoke control solutions.
