Fire curtains are essential components of fireproofing systems that play a crucial role in maintaining the safety and integrity of commercial buildings. From industrial buildings to retail spaces, office suites, and restaurants, these curtains help control the spread of smoke and fire, allowing for more efficient extraction systems and reducing the risk of smoke inhalation for occupants.
In multi-level atriums, galleries, and shopping centers, smoke curtains are particularly valuable in creating a directional airflow towards extraction points and directing smoke away from protected areas in the event of a fire. This provides extra time for building occupants to escape while reducing the risk of smoke inhalation and creating more optimal circumstances for first responders to enter the building.
Fire and Smoke Curtains for Commercial Buildings
The installation of fire curtains in commercial buildings is crucial to meeting fire regulations and ensuring the safety of occupants. By separating spaces into individual compartments, fire curtains allow open-plan building designs to maintain fire safety standards.
In areas with stairs, elevators, or lobbies—critical escape routes in emergencies—fire curtains help control smoke and prevent it from spreading through staircases and lift shafts. With minimal limitations on installation, fire curtains can be incorporated into almost any space, providing a versatile solution for building compartmentation and passive fire protection.
