Smoke Dampers
Smoke Control for Safer Building Evacuations
Smoke dampers are specialised components installed within a building’s HVAC system to restrict the movement of smoke through ductwork during a fire. When connected to a smoke detection or fire alarm system, they close automatically to help contain smoke to its area of origin.
Unlike fire dampers (which activate due to heat), smoke dampers respond to smoke detection, helping preserve breathable air and visibility in unaffected areas. They play a vital role in protecting escape routes and supporting safe evacuation during an emergency.
Where Are They Used?
Air conditioning, outside air and exhaust system ducts
Air transfer openings between smoke barriers
Pressurisation and smoke exhaust systems
Hospitals, aged care, shopping centres, high-rise buildings, and public facilities

Why Are Smoke Dampers Important?
prevent smoke spread
Help prevent smoke spread through ducts and plenums
visibility
Support safe evacuation by preserving visibility
Integrated Systems
Work in conjunction with fire detection and smoke control systems
compliance
Essential for compliance in many commercial, public, and multi-storey buildings
Dual Protection
Can be combined with fire dampers for dual protection (fire/smoke combo dampers)
Temperature Tested
These dampers are the same as normal air control dampers however they have a high temperature rubber seal to all sealing surfaces to be able to withstand the elevated temperature of the smoke it is containing.
