Fire Curtains

Fire curtains are designed to contain the spread of fire, smoke, and heat within a building, particularly in ceiling and roof voids where open spaces often allow fire to travel freely. These curtains function by providing both integrity and insulation:

• Integrity: Prevents the passage of flames and hot gases, which could otherwise spread fire to unprotected areas.
• Insulation: Limits the transfer of heat through the curtain, preventing the ignition of combustible materials located in adjacent spaces.

The ability of fire curtains to provide up to 120 minutes of protection ensures they remain effective in containing fires for extended periods, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely and limiting the damage to the building structure.

Here are a few benefits of fire curtains:

• Effective Fire Containment: Fire curtains create a reliable barrier that halts the spread of fire and smoke, especially in concealed roof and ceiling spaces.
• Heat Transfer Control: The insulation performance of the fire curtains reduces heat transfer, preventing the ignition of materials that may be located in nearby areas.
• Versatile Installation:  Suitable for a wide range of building designs, including areas with void heights of up to 10 meters. 
• Extended Fire Resistance: Available in multiple fire-resistance durations, ranging from 15 minutes to 120 minutes, offering customizable protection based on project needs.

The installation of fire curtains involves hanging the system vertically within the building’s ceiling and roof voids creating a protective barrier between fire and other building areas. The system is engineered to provide maximum performance in challenging voids, ensuring that it remains effective even in high spaces with extended drops up to 10 meters. The installation process is straightforward, with fire curtains easily integrated into existing structures, reducing the need for complex or disruptive modifications. The system is designed to be flexible, with the ability to accommodate varying void sizes and configurations, ensuring that every building can benefit from optimal fire protection. 

We understand that the long-term performance of your fire protection system is just as important as the initial installation. Here are some ways to ensure maintenance and longevity:

• Low-Maintenance Design: Fire curtains require minimal upkeep but should be regularly inspected to ensure they remain functional.
• Regulatory Compliance: Regular inspections help ensure fire curtains continue to meet safety standards and regulations.
• Long-Term Protection: Proper maintenance ensures fire curtains provide reliable, long-lasting fire protection throughout the building’s lifespan.
