Smoke and Fire Curtains

Smoke and Fire Curtains

Fire and Smoke curtains are considered an essential component of a fire system in the building. Both are designed to be activated in case of smoke or fire in the building once the fire alarm signals are received. Both curtains descend using the fail-safe technique. Fire and smoke curtains are considered an economical solution, especially in larger venues.
When comparing both curtains against each other, fire curtains are designed to create barriers where partitions are limited or not present. The curtain is designed to be directly exposed to fire and provide complete protection and compartmentation between zones allowing the people to evacuate the people safely while limiting the fire from spreading. Fire curtains are reliable and tested as fire rated against the standard ISO fire curve of 1100℃.
When the fire alarm is not activated, the curtain is hidden in the false ceiling, maximising the space and complying with the architectural requirement.
For smoke curtains, the purpose of their application is to channel the smoke towards the vents. Hence it is an essential component in the ventilation system. This would clear the evacuation path allowing the people to leave the building safely.Whether we are talking about fire or smoke curtains, both come in different vertical, horizontal or concertina versions to fully satisfy your project’s needs. Also, both types are available by British and American standards.
