Our fire curtains are in accordance with BS EN1634-1, BS 476 Parts 6, 7 & 22.8, & BS 7346-3.
Fire Curtains are used to;
- Act as a fire separating element within the building design to prevent the passage of smoke, heat, superheated gases and fire for a predetermined period of time in either the vertical or horizontal orientation.
- To assist designers to form fire compartmentation to minimise fire spread and/or to assist the SHEVS (smoke heat exhaust ventilation) system.
- Can descend after a set predetermined period of time, to a predetermined position to assist with protected means of escape.
- Descending to a predetermined position for a predetermined time to create a smoke layer reservoir, ensuring the protected means of escape remains open longer prior to descending to their fire operational position after planned evacuation times.
Optimizing open space within buildings is becoming ever more important but this must be balanced with more stringent legislation. Current legislation covering fire separating elements and fire compartmentation can be easily checked by visiting online sites such as British Standards Institute.
