Fire and Smoke Curtains

Fire and smoke curtains are specialised fire protection systems designed to control the spread of fire and smoke within a building and are valuable additions to fire protection strategies, particularly in spaces where traditional fixed barriers may be challenging to implement. Their dual functionality addresses both fire containment and smoke control, contributing to enhanced safety during fire incidents.

Fire and Smoke Curtain Information

Fire and smoke curtains are designed to provide both fire containment and smoke control. They create a physical barrier to restrict the movement of flames and heat, while also preventing the spread of smoke throughout the building.
The curtains are made from fire-resistant materials, often incorporating advanced technologies such as intumescent coatings or other fire-retardant substances. The materials are designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent the passage of flames and smoke.
Like smoke curtains, fire and smoke curtains are often integrated into a building's fire detection and alarm system. They can be automatically deployed when a fire is detected, contributing to a swift and controlled response
Fire and smoke curtains are equipped with a deployment mechanism, which can be motorized or gravity-driven. The curtains deploy rapidly to create a barrier when needed.
Active fire curtains can be customised based on the specific needs of a building. This includes considerations for size, shape, and fire resistance ratings.
Fire and smoke curtains are often designed to work in conjunction with other building systems, including sprinklers, fire alarms, and emergency lighting. Integration ensures a comprehensive and coordinated fire protection strategy.
By containing both fire and smoke, these curtains improve visibility for occupants during evacuation. Clear evacuation routes contribute to safer and more efficient evacuations.
Like other fire protection systems, active fire curtains should undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet safety standards. Our products have been tested and certified by relevant authorities.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the proper functioning of active fire curtains. This includes testing the deployment mechanism, inspecting the fabric for damage, and addressing any issues promptly.
Compliance with local building codes and regulations is crucial when installing active fire curtains. Work with professionals who are knowledgeable about local fire safety requirements.
Fire and smoke curtains are often designed to allow for safe emergency egress. They can create temporary fire-protected zones to facilitate occupant evacuation.
