We were asked to design, supply,
install and commission a smoke
extract system for some residen-
tial apartments in an exclusive
area of London. The issue that
building control were concerned
with was that a penthouse apart-
ment had been built in the loca-
tion where the AOV was to be
positioned therefore another
solutions was required.

At AP Solutions are able to offer products manufactured by many of the industries key players but are not tied to
these so we are able to offer solutions to suit our clients requirements.
We are also able to offer the required service and maintenance on these types of systems to BS7346 part 8.
Therefore the solution was duty/standby fire
rated fans positioned at the top of the stairs
which extracted through fire rated ductwork to
outside at high level. These fans were initiated
by the fire alarm within the stairwell or manual-
ly operated from a local keyswitch at the en-
trance of the building.
Also as aesthetics were important to our client the
fans & controller were positioned within the ceiling
void and the extract ductwork went through the
ceiling void on the adjacent apartment.
