UL Smoke Vent

Product

Taylon Skylights UL Smoke Skylight - Dual-Glazed 10 PSF is engineered to deliver exceptional fire safety and daylighting for commercial and industrial buildings. Certified to UL 793 standards, this automatic smoke vent releases smoke, heat, and toxic gases during a fire, enhancing occupant safety and aiding firefighting operations. Equipped with a UL-listed fusible link for automatic activation and exterior manual release options, the skylight ensures reliable performance and compliance with fire safety codes, including the International Fire Code (IFC) and NFPA 204.

The dual-glazed construction combines a durable polycarbonate over polycarbonate beneath, providing superior thermal performance, impact resistance, and fire safety. This combination maintains structural integrity under a 10-30 PSF snow or wind load, suitable for Class 90 roof systems, while allowing high-quality natural light with 80% visible light transmission, minimal haze, and 100% diffusion. The patented Diamond Series dome design maximizes daylighting, reduces glare, and improves energy efficiency, all while enhancing the skylight’s strength and durability.

Smoke vents are critical for warehouse and industrial fire safety, maintaining a clear air layer for occupants, reducing heat damage to stored goods, and improving visibility for emergency responders. Taylon’s dual-glazed UL Smoke Skylight integrates these essential safety functions with enhanced daylighting, making it ideal for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, laboratories, and other large-volume commercial spaces. Its design allows rapid smoke and heat release while minimizing structural and property damage during emergencies.

Key features include multiple fusible link options (165°F, 212°F, 286°F, and 370°F), gas springs for controlled vent operation, double-leaf construction for maximum ventilation, weather-sealed gaskets, and integrated manual release pulls. The dual-glazed design adds long-term durability, improved thermal performance, and enhanced fire resilience, while the 10 PSF rating ensures the vent remains secure against wind or accidental uplift. Taylon Skylights provides a robust, code-compliant solution that prioritizes occupant safety, fire protection, and operational efficiency.
