Smoke & Fire Curtains

What Are Smoke and Fire Curtains?

Smoke and fire curtains are critical components of a building’s passive fire protection strategy.

They are specially designed barriers that deploy automatically in the event of a fire, helping to control and contain the spread of fire and smoke within a building.

These curtains work by forming a physical barrier that compartmentalises spaces, maintaining safe escape routes and limiting damage to property.

They are ideal for use in areas where traditional fire-rated walls or doors are impractical or where open space design needs to be maintained.

Key Features of Smoke and Fire Curtains:

  • Automatic Deployment: Smoke and fire curtains are equipped with sensors and control systems that allow them to deploy automatically when a fire is detected, ensuring immediate protection without human intervention.

  • Fire Resistance: These curtains are made from fire-resistant materials that can withstand high temperatures and provide a reliable barrier against flames and smoke.

  • Compact Design: When not in use, the curtains are discreetly stored in a compact housing unit, preserving the aesthetic and functionality of the space.

  • Flexible Application: Smoke and fire curtains can be customised to fit various architectural designs and are suitable for a wide range of applications, from commercial buildings to residential properties.

Why Are Smoke and Fire Curtains Important?

Smoke and fire curtains are essential for several reasons:

  • Life Safety: By containing fire and smoke, these curtains help to protect building occupants by maintaining clear escape routes and reducing exposure to harmful smoke.

  • Property Protection: Containing the spread of fire limits damage to property and valuable assets, reducing recovery costs and downtime.

  • Design Flexibility: Smoke and fire curtains allow for open plan designs without compromising on fire safety, making them an ideal solution for modern architecture.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Installing smoke and fire curtains helps buildings meet stringent fire safety regulations and standards, ensuring compliance and reducing liability.
