Fire protection, smoke extraction, evacuation
Fire protection, smoke extraction, evacuation
Fire safety is an essential component in the design and operation of modern buildings. The main objectives include limiting the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring efficient smoke evacuation to prevent intoxication (considering that over 70% of fire victims are caused by smoke inhalation), protecting adjacent buildings, and guaranteeing the safe evacuation of occupants in case of emergency. Implementing integrated fire protection and smoke evacuation solutions is essential to achieve these objectives.
KADRA's approach

Flexibility
We select the most suitable products for each project.
At KADRA, we rely on 30+ years of experience to deliver safety and efficiency in any building.
Service and Maintenance
Unlike an automatic door, which shows its defects in daily use, a smoke evacuation system or a fire-resistant curtain can remain inactive for years. A malfunction remains hidden until the system needs to operate. Therefore, periodic checks are the only guarantee that protection truly exists.
Maintenance of smoke vents checks the control unit, actuators and opening motors, batteries and backup sources, as well as integration with the fire detection system. For fire-resistant curtains, lowering upon alarm signal and operation without electrical power are tested. For fire-resistant doors, automatic closing, hold-open devices, the closing selector for double-leaf doors, and the condition of the seals are checked.
Checks are performed at intervals stipulated by fire safety regulations and manufacturers. The resulting reports are also useful for authority inspections. A constant service and maintenance program ensures that, when needed, smoke is evacuated, fire is isolated, and evacuation routes remain clear.

Frequently asked questions
What is a smoke exhaust system?
A smoke exhaust system removes smoke and hot gases generated during a fire to maintain visibility on evacuation routes and facilitate intervention by firefighting teams. The system can include smoke hatches, automated windows, smoke-venting skylights, and control panels.
When is a smoke exhaust system mandatory?
The need for a smoke exhaust system is determined by the building’s purpose, surface area, and configuration, in accordance with applicable fire safety regulations. Requirements are defined during the design and approval stage of construction.
Why is a smoke exhaust system important in a building?
A smoke exhaust system reduces the buildup of smoke and hot gases during a fire, maintains visibility on evacuation routes, and facilitates intervention by rescue teams. In many types of buildings, it represents an essential component of the fire safety strategy.
What is the difference between a ventilation system and a smoke exhaust system?
Ventilation ensures air exchange under normal conditions of building use. Smoke exhaust is a safety system that operates only in the event of a fire, removing smoke and hot gases to protect occupants and limit the spread of fire.
What types of smoke evacuation systems exist?
Depending on the project, smoke evacuation systems may include smoke vents, skylights with smoke evacuation function, automated windows, and integrated control systems. The solution is determined based on the building type and the fire safety project requirements.
How does a smoke evacuation system work in case of fire?
Upon fire detection, the system receives a signal from the fire control panel or is manually activated and automatically opens the equipment intended for smoke evacuation. Operation is coordinated so that smoke and hot gases are controlledly removed from the building.
Can smoke evacuation systems be integrated with the fire detection system?
Yes. Smoke evacuation systems are designed for integration with fire detection and alarm control panels, so that activation occurs automatically immediately after fire detection.
What maintenance does a smoke evacuation system require?
Maintenance includes checking control panels, opening mechanisms, actuators, power sources, and control devices. Periodic checks are essential for the system to function correctly in emergency situations.
