Smoke curtains work by containing smoke from a fire in a specific area, to prevent it from spreading to other areas. This containment of smoke provides refuge for people within the building and maximises the probability of escape from the building with no injury.

Smoke curtains are capable of providing a more than adequate level of protection for many situations. They also have a range of other characteristics that set them above some other types of fire guards. We’ve compiled the main benefits to help you decide whether this type of fire protection is best for your building.

Increased Safety

Our fire curtains and smoke curtains are produced from specially designed fabrics (fabric passed indicative test to BS 476 part 20 with a 2 hour integrity rating achieved). The fabric is independently tested and certified. This is done by the prestigious and world renowned test laboratory Warrington Fire Research Centre, United Kingdom, to strict British Standard specifications.

Accessible in Emergencies

The use of fire curtains means that initial small fires are prevented from escalating into disasters. This safeguards people and property. Smoke curtains and fire curtains are suitable for a variety of applications. This includes above false/suspended ceilings, factories, open plan lofts, offices, shopping centres, stadiums, hangars, etc.

Fireguard Smoke Curtain Legislation

Employers and business owners have a duty to provide adequate fire protection wherever it is practicably possible. Safety measures such as installing smoke curtains go a long way towards helping businesses comply with UK legislation as outlined by the government.
