Fire Curtain Supply, Installation & Maintenance

What Are Fire Curtains?

Fire curtains are flexible, fire-resistant fabric systems that deploy automatically in the event of a fire. When installed correctly, they drop down from concealed ceiling housings to form a temporary barrier that contains the spread of fire and/or smoke.

They are typically used:

In open-plan commercial and residential buildings
To protect fire escape routes and compartment lines
In place of traditional fire doors or partitions where visibility or access is important
To meet fire strategy design in complex structures (e.g., atriums, escalator voids, lift shafts)

There are two main types:

Fire Curtains – to resist heat and flame for 30 to 240 minutes
Smoke Curtains – to contain smoke and hot gases, aiding visibility during evacuation

Why Use Fire Curtains?

Achieve compartmentation in open or glazed areas
Maintain architectural design and open-plan layouts

Support safe evacuation by protecting escape routes
Automatically deploy in a fire – linked to the fire alarm or smoke detection system
