• BlueKit for architects and planners

    You are working on a complex construction project and now need to specify smoke extraction for lift shafts, but are faced with fire safety requirements that you barely understand?

Your challenges. Our solutions.

Do unclear responsibilities, complex fire safety regulations and missing tender texts slow down your project planning?

You focus on the big picture while we take care of the details.

Smoke extraction in lift shafts is often treated as a side topic until it causes delays. The legal framework is complex, responsibilities across trades are unclear, and mistakes in tender texts can lead to costly setbacks. On top of that, you’re expected to deliver planning documents that are technically sound, energy-efficient, and ready for approval.

BlueKit offers a ready-to-implement system with full planning support. From tender texts to technical drawings, you will receive everything you need to integrate lift shaft smoke extraction into your projects with confidence.

Your advantages:

  • Personal support from experienced system planners

  • Legally compliant tender texts in GAEB format

  • Technical drawings and data sheets ready to use to ensure smoother planning

  • Energy-efficient solutions for more sustainable building designs

  • Noticeable time savings throughout the planning process

Added value beyond compliance

Beyond code compliance, BlueKit helps you plan buildings that are both safer and smarter. Our systems combine effective smoke extraction with intelligent ventilation concepts helping to reduce energy loss in the shaft and support sustainable building certification. Depending on the building’s requirements, either the motorised Slide Flap or the Thermo Flap is used. Both variants ensure that the lift shaft is securely sealed during regular operation, which significantly reduces thermal loss. At the same time, they enable controlled opening when needed - for instance, in case of fire or for natural ventilation purposes.

Did you know?

The harmonised standard EN 81-20 legally requires proper ventilation of lift shafts so it is no longer enough to rely on basic shaft openings. Building designers must ensure adequate airflow to maintain air quality, temperature control and user safety.
