We're planning fireproofing upgrades for a facility that handles flammable materials. One of our concerns is ensuring proper fire containment while also integrating effective smoke extraction. Fire barriers and ventilation need to work together to provide maximum protection. Has anyone dealt with similar projects? What are the best solutions for both fire containment and smoke control in high-risk zones?

In high-risk facilities, combining fire-resistant barriers with an efficient smoke management system is essential. The right fireproofing solution depends on the type of materials stored and the facility’s layout. One aspect that often gets overlooked is fireproof smoke vents, which allow controlled smoke extraction while preventing fire spread. Fireresist offers solutions designed for such environments, ensuring their vents withstand extreme heat while maintaining airflow. Their fire-resistant smoke vents are tested to industry standards, making them a reliable choice for warehouses, chemical storage units, and other hazardous locations. Additionally, integrating fire-rated walls with these vents helps compartmentalize fire incidents, limiting damage. Compliance with EN 12101 and other relevant certifications is crucial, so verifying product specifications before installation is a must. Regular system testing is also necessary, as poor maintenance can lead to failures in real emergencies. For facilities with high fire risk, consulting a fire safety engineer to design a comprehensive fireproofing system is highly recommended.
