SMOKE EXTRACTION SYSTEMS

Technical applications for life safety and fire engineering

ENGINEERED COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS FOR SMOKE CONTROL APPLICATIONS

Smoke extraction systems are a critical element of fire safety design, providing control of smoke movement to support safe evacuation, protect firefighting access routes, and limit fire-related damage to buildings. As a manufacturer of specialised smoke control components and systems, TROX delivers technically robust solutions designed to meet the demands of real fire scenarios.

Smoke extraction across building applications

Smoke extraction systems are required across a wide range of building types, each presenting distinct fire engineering and operational challenges. TROX systems are applied within:

Commercial Buildings - Offices, Retail, Atria and Mixed-Use Developments
Residential Buildings - High-rise and mid-rise apartments, Protected Stair Cores and Lobbies
Healthcare Facilities - Hospitals, Care Homes, and facilities requiring phased evacuation
Industrial Buildings - Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and large volume enclosed spaces
Transport and Infrastructure Projects - Basements, tunnels and enclosed car parks

Across these applications smoke control systems are designed to:

MANUFACTURER EXPERTISE IN SMOKE CONTROL

Our expertise is reflected in sophisticated products and complete systems:

• Coordinated, functional smoke control packages

• All components from a single source

• Planning advice for the overall systems

• Commissioning and adjustment of the overall systems

• Support during the expert assessment

PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS (PDS)

TROX Pressure Differential Systems are designed to maintain smoke-free conditions within escape routes and fire-fighting access routes. Smoke is excluded from protected areas using defined, controlled pressure differentials between protected and fire-affected spaces. Typical applications include:

• Protected stairwells

• Firefighting shafts

• Lobbies and refuge areas

Supported by independent 3rd party testing to BS EN 12101-6:2022, TROX Pressure Differential Systems, designed in accordance with BS EN 12101-13:2022 are suitable for commercial, residential, industrial and infrastructure applications.
