Fire Curtains: Seamless Protection for Open-Plan Spaces
Invisible fire safety that activates when it matters most.
What Is a Fire Curtain?
A fire curtain is a concealed, fire-resistant fabric barrier designed to deploy automatically during a fire. Activated by a building’s fire alarm system, it descends to compartmentalize spaces, contain fire and smoke and preserve safe evacuation routes. Fire curtains are ideal for open-plan environments where traditional fire doors or walls are impractical.
Where Fire Curtains Excel
Fire curtains are commonly installed in atriums, reception areas, lift lobbies, escalator enclosures, corridors and open-plan offices. Their discreet design ensures they remain hidden during normal operations, deploying only when needed to protect occupants and infrastructure.
