Firelight Duo provides high performance extract ventilation for most kinds of industrial and commercial buildings, and has been designed with the ever more stringent demands of the Energy Performance in Buildings directive in mind. Tested to and in compliance with EN 12101-2.

A wide range of applications- Firelight Duo is classed as a dual purpose ventilator, providing both day to day and smoke control ventilation. Polycarbonate and glass versions allow the entry of natural daylight, and a wide range of infill panels are available, including a reduced noise panel. Pneumatic or electric linear drives are available.

Proven performance- Firelight Duo has been exhaustively tested and certified to EN 12101-2: 2003 in accredited third party test laboratories and is CE marked.

High performance- Firelight Duo has high aerodynamic, acoustic and thermal performance, and has a high resistance to the effects of fire.

Acoustic performance Firelight Duo offers a reduced noise panel with a performance of 49 dB Rw.

Thermal performance- Firelight Duo is thermally broken and has five high grade continuous EPDM and TPE seals, two which seal the panels into the lids and three between the lids and the frame. As a result there is very low air leakage and a low U-value.

In addition to this the Firelight Duo has been tested in accordance with typical window and door standards:

EN 12207: Air permeability

EN 12208: Water tightness

EN 12211: Resistance to wind load

An impact test has been carried out on the Firelight Duo in accordance to GSBau18. We achieved 300 Joule with the polycarbonate version and 1200 Joule with the insulated aluminium version.

Easy to install- Firelight Duo is designed for installation into glazing, onto a curb or into sheeting. It has a wide range of base profiles to suit most glazing, sheeting or curb types.

Durable- Firelight Duo is manufactured from tough, corrosion resistant aluminium with stainless steel fixings.

Quality of manufacture- Firelight Duo is manufactured under the ISO 9000 quality standard.

FCO can provide either inlet or extract ventilation as well as permit the entry of natural daylight, and is suited to most kinds of industrial and commercial buildings. FCO is not tested or certified for smoke control ventilation.

FCO louvred ventilators are suited to most industrial and commercial buildings and are among the most cost-effective kinds of natural ventilators.

They are popular with Specifiers and Contractors because of the wide range of options available, and Building Operators and Owners because of their simplicity and low maintenance.

Wide range of applications- FCO is generally installed in the vertical for either air inlet or extract. Polycarbonate and glass versions allow the entry of natural daylight. FCO is also often used as a termination piece for large ducted or air handling systems. There are pneumatic, electronic or hand controls and a wide range of louvre types, accessories and finishes.

High performance- FCO is aerodynamically efficient and has a high resistance to weather.

Easy to install- FCO is delivered fully assembled to site. It has a wide range of base profiles to suit most kinds of curtain walling, glazing or prepared openings.

Durable- FCO is manufactured from tough, corrosion resistant aluminium alloy, grade 3005 in accordance with EN573-3, with stainless steel fixings. Louvres pivot on double nylon UV- resistant bearings.

Quality of manufacture- FCO wall vents are manufactured under the ISO 9001 quality standard. Each unit is given a functional test before despatch.

WCO can provide extract ventilation as well as allow the entry of natural daylight for most kinds of industrial and commercial buildings. Its top section provides maximum ventilation and this can also be used for emergencysmoke extract ventilation, although it is not certified as a smoke ventilator. Two controllable side dampers provide day to day ventilation when it is raining.

WCO louvred ventilators are well suited to most industrial and some commercial buildings. If rainy weather makes it necessary to close the top louvres, continuous weatherproof ventilation can be enabled by opening the side dampers.

A wide range of applications- WCO can provide both day to day and smoke control ventilation, although it is not certified as a smoke ventilator.

Polycarbonate versions allow the entry of natural daylight. There are pneumatic, electric or hand controls and a wide range of louvre types, accessories and finishes.

Various control options- The pneumatic control can be extended to incorporate a rain sensor, so that when it rains the top louvres automatically close and simultaneously the side louvres open. If used as a smoke ventilator, activation is either by a local thermal fuse which opens the unit at a pre-selected temperature, or by the controls responding to an external release signal. (Please note that it is not certified as a smoke ventilator to EN 12101-2).

High performance- WCO is aerodynamically efficient and has a high resistance to weather.

Easy to install- WCO is delivered fully assembled to site and may be installed at any angle from the horizontal to 45. It has a wide range of base profiles to suit all sheeting, curb or glazing applications.

Durable- WCO is manufactured from tough, corrosion resistant aluminium alloy, grade 3005 in accordance with EN 573-3, with stainless steel fixings. Louvres pivot on double nylon UV- resistant bearings. It requires very little maintenance.

Quality of manufacture- WCO is manufactured under the ISO 9000 quality standard. Each unit is given a functional test before despatch.

Coltlite is a natural louvred ventilator suitable for natural day to day and smoke control ventilation. Most variants conform to both EN 12101-2 as smoke ventilators and EN 14351-1 as windows and all are CE marked. It can provide inlet and extract ventilation as well as the entry of natural daylight for most kinds of industrial and commercial buildings. It achieves high acoustic, thermal and aerodynamic performance. It is suited for installation into the faade.

Its form and function makes it particularly suited to naturally ventilated buildings where good aerodynamic and measured free area ventilation is required while achieving high acoustic, thermal and aerodynamic performance. Whilst it is primarily designed as a glazed element of the building envelope, it can also be applied as a high specification fire, smoke and air control damper. Typical applications are hospitals, schools, shopping centres, apartments and commercial buildings.

A widerange of applications Most versions of Coltlite are classed as dual purpose ventilators, providing both day to day and smoke control ventilation. It can also be installed either for low level air inlet or for high level extract. Coltlite is also often used as a termination piece for large ducted or air handling systems. Glass versions allow the entry of natural daylight, and a wide range of infill panels are available. Options include pneumatic, electronic or manual controls and a wide range of louvre types, accessories and finishes.

High performance- Coltlite has high aerodynamic, acoustic and thermal performance, and has a high resistance to the effects of fire. See the leaflet for further details.

Certified performance All versions of Coltlite except CLS 45 and CLST have been exhaustively tested and certified to EN 12101-2: 2003 as dual purpose ventilators in accredited third party test laboratories. In addition all ventilators have been tested to EN 14351-1 which guarantees their performance as faade elements. All ventilators are CE marked accordingly.

High performance in fire -One of the fire consultants main design considerations is to make sure that any smoke emitted by a fire is evacuated from the building in a controlled fashion. Special arrangements need to be considered, in particular for escape routes such as in stairwells. Coltlite is very suitable for protecting escape routes since it has a high aerodynamic efficiency, opens quickly, has large openings and does not get in the way of people trying to leave the building.

Easy to install- Coltlite is delivered fully assembled to site into a structural opening or curtain walling. It must be installed in the vertical. It has a wide range of base profiles to suit most sheeting, curb or glazing applications.

Safe in operation With electric versions there is an optional device to reduce the speed and force of the closing louvres in order to reduce the risk of finger trapping.

Durable The frame is manufactured from tough, corrosion resistant aluminium alloy, with stainless steel fixings.

Quality of manufacture- Coltlite is manufactured under the ISO 9000 quality standard. Each unit is given a functional test before despatch.

Aesthetic design Coltlite uses narrow framework and motors can be hidden within the frame or are small in size.
