An active fire curtain is a type of fire protection system designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building. Unlike traditional passive fire protection measures, such as fire doors or fire-resistant walls, active fire curtains are dynamic and deployable. They are typically made of fire-resistant fabric or other materials and are installed in specific locations to create a barrier in the event of a fire.

Active fire curtains are equipped with a deployment mechanism that allows them to be quickly and automatically activated in the event of a fire. This mechanism can be triggered by fire detection systems or manual controls.

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.

One of the advantages of active fire curtains is their flexibility. They can be customized to fit specific building configurations, including irregular or non-standard openings.

Active fire curtains are typically integrated into the building's fire alarm and detection system. When a fire is detected, the curtains deploy automatically to contain the fire and prevent its spread.

Building or part of a building, comprising one or more rooms, spaces or storeys, constructed to prevent the spread of fire to or from another part of the same building, or an adjoining building. Compartmentation subdivides the building into areas of manageable risk, to provide adequate means of escape, and to provide fire separation for adjoining buildings

An escape route is a designated pathway or route that provides a safe means for individuals to exit a building or area in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, natural disaster, or other hazardous situations. Designing and maintaining clear and accessible escape routes is crucial for ensuring the safety of occupants.

Active fire curtains can be strategically installed to create protected egress paths for occupants, allowing them to evacuate the building safely.

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.

Active fire curtains can be customised based on the specific needs of a building. This includes considerations for size, shape, and fire resistance ratings.
