Staircase Pressurisation System in Qatar
At Al Maftol, we specialize in designing and installing staircase pressurisation systems in Qatar that ensure maximum safety and compliance with international fire and building codes. Staircase pressurisation is a vital safety feature in multi-storey buildings that prevents smoke infiltration into escape routes during a fire, allowing occupants to evacuate safely and efficiently.
Whether you’re managing a commercial complex, residential tower, hospital, or industrial building, our team at Al Maftol provides end-to-end solutions — from design and supply to testing, commissioning, and maintenance — ensuring optimal performance of your pressurisation system.
What is Staircase Pressurisation?
Staircase pressurisation is a smoke control system that maintains positive air pressure inside staircases during a fire. This prevents smoke from entering these areas, providing a safe escape route for occupants and ensuring firefighters have a clear access path to manage emergencies.
The system works by using pressurisation fans to deliver clean air into the staircase, creating a pressure difference between the stairwell and adjacent areas. This pressure prevents smoke from leaking in, even if doors are opened during evacuation.
Why Staircase Pressurisation is Essential in Qatar
In Qatar’s rapidly growing skyline of high-rise buildings, staircase pressurisation systems are not just a safety addition — they are a regulatory requirement under civil defense and building safety codes.
With the increasing number of commercial towers, hotels, and residential complexes, maintaining effective smoke control is critical to protect lives and property. Al Maftol ensures your pressurisation system meets Qatar Civil Defense (QCDD) standards and aligns with international fire safety norms such as NFPA 92 and BS EN 12101.
