How we approach smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Rhosllannerchrugog
For Rhosllannerchrugog homes and buildings we offer smoke vent rooflights (AOVs): automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) suit blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Neighbouring towns include Wrexham (6 km) and Buckley (18 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Before you order: points to check

Rules and responsibilities in Rhosllannerchrugog
Smoke vents are life-safety equipment: in Wales the responsible person must keep them maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (as it applies in Wales). We install to the building's fire strategy and the manufacturer's certification.
For non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
