Concealed top hung windows for ventilation and heat and smoke extraction

Inova top hung windows integrate perfectly into steel external walls

It goes without saying that in the event of fire the tall MediaPolis building must provide a safe escape route for the people inside. Therefore in the interests of fire safety, a heat and smoke extraction system was installed using Inova top hung windows that are tastefully integrated into the design of the external wall.

It was required that the top hung windows should not be conspicuous and therefore concealed as far as possible. In view of this request, 76 top hung windows were finished in the same steel sheeting as the rest of the wall.

 


Waterproofing tested using a water cannon

The top hung windows, also used to provide natural ventilation, were tested on location by Kingspan Light + Air Certified Partner Idas Tech using a water cannon mounted on a tower wagon. The test produced the desired results.
