Fire and smoke dampers are vital for maintaining the safety of a building’s occupants and minimising damage in the event of a fire. These systems are engineered to operate automatically in the presence of heat and smoke, effectively compartmentalising fire and allowing crucial extra time for evacuation. Ensuring these systems are properly installed and functional is not just a matter of compliance; it’s a proactive step towards safeguarding lives and assets.
Fire and smoke dampers operate upon detection of smoke or an increase in temperature. This limits the spread of fire and smoke from one section of a building to another through the HVAC system. Fire dampers are triggered when temperatures reach a certain threshold. Smoke dampers, on the other hand, are connected to the building’s detection system and respond to the presence of smoke. Both types of dampers are designed to operate quickly and securely to the threat of fire and smoke.
Bowsers employs a detailed, standards-compliant approach to installing fire and smoke dampers, ensuring each component is perfectly integrated into your building’s HVAC system. Our team’s expertise guarantees the dampers can be installed in a compliant manner and maintained into the future.
