January 23, 2024

BILCO fire safety products are designed for proper ventilation and emergency evacuation. Make sure your building is safe and up to code.

Fire Safety Products

BILCO manufactures a complete line of fire and life safety products for commercial building applications. Products are designed to control smoke to aide building evacuation and firefighting efforts and to prevent the spread of fire during an emergency.


Automatic Smoke Vents

Automatic Smoke Vents protect property and aid firefighters in bringing a fire under control by removing smoke, heat, and gases from a burning building. Smoke vents are ideally suited for large expanses of unobstructed space such as factories, warehouses, auditoriums, and retail facilities. Mechanical smoke vents are activated upon the melting of a fusible link and options are available for smoke detector and fire alarm activation.


Fire Rated Floor Doors

Fire rated floor doors improve safety when you need access between building floors. Our fire rated floor doors maintain the fire rating of a 2-hour floor/ceiling assembly. You'll find options and features like automatic closing systems and intumescent fire resistant coating, BILCO fire rated floor doors also have a pan cover designed to accept architectural flooring materials.
