SHEV – SMOKE AND HEAT EXHAUST VENTILATION SYSTEM

A motorised smoke exhaust system, with a sample tested at IFT Rosenheim.

Section through the CORTIZO Smoke Vent system system, official manufacturer image

SHEV is the only system in the set tested to EN 12101-2, the standard for natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators. The sample was tested by IFT Rosenheim GmbH, not in the manufacturer’s own laboratory.

The system is not a separate profile but a motorised solution that integrates into existing profiles: COR 80 Industrial, COR 70 Industrial, TP 52 projecting, SG 52 projecting and veranda. Each has its own integration dimension.

The classifications obtained cover reliability, opening under snow load, behaviour at low temperature, wind load and heat resistance.

The thermal transmittance values published by CORTIZO are minimum values for the system, conditional on the typology, on the dimensions of the joinery and on the glazing unit. The actual value of an assembly is established by calculation, on the configuration actually ordered.

From system to finished joinery

What we do with this system

Choosing the configuration

The system offers a range; the project asks for a value. We settle the version, the glazing unit and the typology from the actual requirements of the building, not from the maximum on the data sheet.

Calculation on the actual assembly

The transmittance of a window depends on the frame-to-glass ratio. We calculate it on the actual dimensions of the openings, not on the laboratory specimen.

Our own production

Cutting, machining, assembly and glazing in our own workshop in Baia Mare, on original CORTIZO profile and with hardware approved for the system.

Installation and handover

We install with our own teams, including abroad, and hand the job over with its documents. The warranty is the one published on our warranties page.
