OverviewVentilated skylights VENTILIGHT® are openable skylight units integrating natural daylighting with ventilation and smoke/heat exhaust (SHEVS) functionality. Designed for commercial and industrial roofs, they provide controlled natural light, routine fresh-air ventilation and rapid smoke and hot-air extraction in case of fire.
Key benefits- Combined natural lighting and ventilation for improved indoor conditions
- Automatic smoke and heat extraction to support fire safety and firefighting operations
- Manual ventilation option for daily fresh-air use
- Centralized control capability for synchronized operation of multiple units
How it worksVentilights are roof-mounted skylights/hatches that open to release smoke and hot air. Smoke detectors feed a controller which triggers automatic opening of the VENTILIGHT® units for exhaust. Units can also be operated manually via a local vent switch. For installations with multiple vents, an optional centralized controller coordinates sequential or synchronous operation.
Features- Openable skylight design combining daylight and ventilation
- Smoke & heat exhaust ventilation (SHEVS) capability
- Integrated smoke sensors with automatic actuation
- Manual vent switch for controlled fresh-air ventilation
- Optional centralized controller for multi-hatch systems
- Available with double-glazed skylight units (option)
- Suitable for metal roofs and RCC roofs/slabs
- Designed for building safety, ventilation and daylighting functions
Applications- Commercial complexes and duplexes
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Textile and rice mills
- Factories
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing plants
- Market yards
- Shopping malls
