Fakro DSF DU6 Smoke Ventilation Flat Roof Window Kit
The Fakro DSF DU6 Smoke Ventilation Flat Roof Window Kit is designed to provide reliable natural smoke and heat extraction while maintaining strong thermal and acoustic performance. Developed as a natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilator (NSHEV), it is suitable for applications where effective fire safety needs to be combined with good insulation and a clean, modern appearance.
Designed to meet the requirements of EN 12101-2, the system helps remove smoke and hot air from a building during an emergency. Its discreet design, insulated construction and integrated control components make it suitable for a range of commercial and residential projects where smoke ventilation is an important consideration.
Effective Smoke and Heat Extraction
The Fakro DSF DU6 uses four actuators to lift the window sash approximately 50cm parallel to the base. This creates a large opening to assist with the rapid removal of smoke and heat in an emergency situation.
The system is designed for automatic operation while also allowing manual activation when required, providing a comprehensive approach to natural smoke ventilation.
High Thermal Performance
The kit features a triple-glazed U6 unit with a whole-window U-value of 0.79 W/m²K and a glass U-value of 0.5 W/m²K. This level of thermal performance helps limit heat transfer through the roof window, supporting a more comfortable internal environment when the system is not being used for smoke extraction.
Improved Acoustic Comfort
With an acoustic rating of 34dB (-1, -4), the DSF DU6 can help reduce external noise entering through the roof opening. This makes it a practical choice for buildings where both smoke ventilation and everyday indoor comfort are important.
Strong and Well-Insulated Construction
The window features a multi-chamber PVC frame mounted on an XRD base, providing a total upstand height of 30cm. This construction offers a robust installation solution while contributing to the overall thermal performance of the system.
The roof window is suitable for roof pitches between 0° and 15°, giving it flexibility for a range of flat and low-pitched roof applications.
Discreet Modern Appearance
The lifting mechanism is concealed when the window is closed, helping maintain a neat appearance from inside the building. The interior features RAL9010 white PVC, while the exterior uses RAL9005 black with a dark edge glazing effect for a contemporary architectural finish.
Integrated Smoke Ventilation Controls
The Fakro DSF DU6 kit includes essential control and safety components to support reliable smoke and heat extraction.
-
RZN4408K Control Unit: Provides automatic and manual control of the four actuators.
-
RT45 Alarm Push Button / Break Glass: Allows the system to be manually activated during an emergency.
-
OSD 23 Smoke Sensor: Detects smoke and enables automatic operation of the smoke ventilation system.
Optional accessories are also available for additional functionality. These include an LP1 switch for everyday ventilation and a rain sensor that can automatically close the sash when rainfall is detected. The rain sensor is sold separately.
