ACDSV Acoustical Automatic Smoke Vent (EDITORS' PICK)

ACDSV Acoustical  Automatic Smoke Vent

This automatic smoke vent provides the highest level of protection against exterior noise intrusion on the market, according to its maker. The Type ACDSV Smoke Vent is designed to provide fire and smoke protection for applications where exterior noise intrusion is undesirable, such as in auditoriums, concert halls, and theaters. It carries an OITC-46 sound rating to guard against low-frequency outdoor sounds such as traffic and airplane noises, and an STC 50 sound rating. The product has also received an ISO-140-18 sound rating when tested against rainfall sound.

Switch Tech electronic access control technology (EDITORS' PICK)

Switch Tech electronic    access control technology

The Switch Tech platform from dormakaba allows building owners and facility managers to convert traditional mechanical access doors to digital access units in minutes without having to replace the door hardware. The solution involves replacing the mechanical lock cores within the hardware with an electronic lock core—a five-minute process, says the maker. Users then install the Switch Tech mobile app to take full control of the doors. Ideal for retrofitting electronic control into existing doors on interior rooms, closets, and cabinets. Works with all types of locks, including cylindrical and mortise.

Straight, angled, and segmented configurations are available to fit a variety of space division needs for many architectural settings, including banks, offices, lobbies, interior storefronts, and arena skyboxes.

Insulgard Security Products’ Stormdefend TTH350 is the first glazed aluminum door system certified by UL to meet critical standards for use in tornado and hurricane storm shelters mandated by the 2015 International Building Code, including in the 250-mph wind zone. The door also meets UL 752 levels 1-3 for bullet resistance. It is available as a single or double unit. The TTH350 can be paired with the company’s line of Stormdefend windows to create brighter, more welcoming shelter spaces than the bunker-like storm shelters of old.

SL84 folding glass  wall system

With a frame profile intersection of just 99mm (37/8 inches), the SL84 aluminum framed system is the slimmest folding glass wall on the market. It is also one of the most thermally efficient aluminum-framed systems available. Its patented Bionic Turtle thermal break utilizes continuous seals along the face of each panel frame, and two levels of insulating thermal breaks provide optimal defense from heat or cold. Maximum panel sizes can reach heights up to 11 feet, six inches and widths up to three feet, seven inches.
