Smoke Dampers

Smoke dampers are an essential component of fire safety systems in commercial and residential buildings. They are mechanical devices that are installed in ducts and other ventilation systems to help control the spread of smoke in the event of a fire. Smoke dampers are designed to open and close automatically in response to smoke or heat sensors, allowing smoke to escape while blocking the passage of flames. In some cases, they may also be manually operated. Smoke dampers are a key component of fire safety systems, as they help to prevent the spread of smoke and flames, reducing the risk of injury and damage to property. They are also an important part of smoke control systems, which are designed to limit the spread of smoke and other hazardous materials in the event of a fire. Smoke dampers are typically made of metal, and they are designed to be durable and resistant to corrosion and heat. They are also designed to be easy to install and maintain, and they are typically tested regularly to ensure they are working properly.
