For 75 years Colt has been providing healthy, comfortable and safe working conditions in both industrial and commercial buildings. Colt's products and services are so designed that people can live and work within an environment where they feel safe and comfortable.

One of Colt’s specialisms is the design, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of smoke control systems.

In single storey storage and industrial buildings, there are various uses to which smoke control systems can be put in the case of a fire:
> To facilitate escape by providing smoke free escape routes
> To reduce the likelihood of damage or loss to production or stock
> To enable the fire-fighters to better see the fire and therefore to extinguish it more speedily and effectively.
> To permit designers to design in greater travel distances to exits without the need for compartmentation, resulting in a larger building plan.

A well designed smoke control system should be able to maintain adequate smoke free escape conditions at low level to allow the building to be evacuated with minimum risk of smoke inhalation, injury or death.

Colt have considerable experience in the design and implementation of smoke control systems in single storey storage and industrial buildings and a vast number of installations have been carried out throughout the UK.

Colt’s products and systems are specifically designed to blend into the building structure, concealed until needed and compliant with all relevant codes and standards.
Over the years Colt has funded a large proportion of the research into smoke control, and its representatives maintain an unparalleled level of technical expertise.

Colt's in-house research and development capability ensures that Colt fire protection systems are designed, tested and updated by Colt to meet or exceed relevant legislation and standards.

The majority of Colt's smoke control systems are manufactured in the UK under BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and BS EN ISO 14001:2004.
