Nationwide Specialist Projects

We have developed Vent-Guard to provide optimum levels of safety in multi-storey residential properties, hospitals, care homes, commercial premises and educational establishments. Whilst Vent-Guard is an all-encompassing system, it should not be viewed as a single entity. Rather, it is the optimisation of all the various elements that make up a conventional smoke ventilation scheme. Through Vent-Guard, the Nationwide Group offers a complete range of services covering every aspect of smoke ventilation - design, supply, project management, installation, commissioning, service and maintenance.

Developed by the Nationwide Group, Vent-Guard brings together a group of smoke ventilation specialists with a range of technical expertise that's second to none. The Vent-Guard team draws on over ten years of experience of working with architects, contractors, developers and consultants on everything from in-house design to installation and final commissioning. The team has played an integral role in many excellent-rated BREEAM schemes. With no allegiances to any particular equipment manufacturers, we combine the technologies that are best for each individual project in ways that optimise every single aspect of technical performance.
