Frequently Asked Questions

What standards apply to AOV windows?2026-06-08T13:32:38+01:00

AOV windows used as part of a smoke ventilation system are typically specified in accordance with the project’s fire strategy and relevant guidance, including Approved Document B, BS 9991 and BS 9999. Requirements can vary depending on the building type, layout and smoke control strategy.

Our AOV windows are tested and certified to BS EN 12101-2 and can be supplied as part of a complete smoke ventilation solution, helping ensure compliance with the project’s smoke ventilation requirements.

Can AOV windows be supplied in custom sizes?2026-06-08T13:31:25+01:00

Yes. AOV windows are available in both standard and bespoke sizes. This is particularly useful where a specific free vent area must be achieved or where the window needs to match an existing façade design.

How much free vent area can an AOV window provide?2026-06-08T13:28:06+01:00

The free vent area achieved by an AOV window depends on the window dimensions, opening angle and overall design. While many stairwell systems are designed for 1.0m² aerodynamic free vent area, the required FVA should always be checked against the project’s fire strategy.

Two windows of a similar size can deliver very different performance, which is why FVA should always be considered during specification.

Do I need a specialist to fit an AOV window?2026-02-04T17:31:56+00:00

Generally, no.  Any suitably qualified window fitter or FENSA registered contractor can install an AOV window.

Bear in mind windows must be installed true and square to avoid inhibiting motor function, and you may require a specialist to install and commission your controls.

Can these fit into brick work?2026-02-04T17:25:57+00:00

Yes, these are most commonly fitted into brickwork structural openings.

There are also limited curtain walling customisations.

Can these fit into curtain walling?2026-02-04T17:21:13+00:00

Yes, some limited profile customisations are available for curtain walling on request.

Most commonly these are installed into brickwork structural openings.

  • RAL finishes (including dual tone)
  • Wood grain effect
  • Astragal bars
