Fire Curtains

A fire curtain is a specialised fire protection device designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building. Unlike traditional fire doors or barriers, a fire curtain is a flexible, vertically deploying curtain made of fire-resistant material. It is typically housed in a discreet enclosure and can be automatically or manually deployed in the event of a fire.

Fire Curtain Information

  • 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

  • The fire curtain is typically housed in a discreet enclosure or housing unit when not in use. This enclosure helps protect the curtain from environmental elements and ensures a neat and unobtrusive appearance.

  • The curtain deploys vertically, creating a barrier to prevent the spread of flames and smoke. It descends from its housing to block openings such as doorways, windows, or other fire-rated openings.

  • Fire curtains are flexible and can be customized to fit various architectural configurations. They can adapt to different building layouts and designs.

  • 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.

  • Fire and smoke curtains are equipped with a deployment mechanism, which can be motorised or gravity-driven. The curtains deploy rapidly to create a barrier when needed.

  • 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.
