Solutions for fire and smoke compartmentation

Roller fire and smoke curtains for places where a solid wall is not an option: atriums, stairwells, façades, car parks, shopping centres and industrial halls. We advise which barrier suits your building.

Atriums and voids

Keep open sightlines, stop smoke spread.

An atrium keeps sightlines open, but smoke spreads through it fast. Roller curtains sit hidden in the ceiling and close automatically on alarm.

Stairwells and escape routes

Smoke-free escape routes, also in existing buildings.

Escape routes must stay usable long enough to get everyone out. Smoke is the biggest threat. Curtains keep them smoke-free, in existing buildings too.

Facades

Stop fire spread where buildings meet.

Fire can spread through façade openings to a higher floor or the building next door. Regulations therefore set WBDBO requirements. Façade curtains close those openings automatically on alarm.

Industry and logistics

Large spans, unhindered logistics.

Compartments here are large and openings must stay clear for forklifts and conveyors. Curtains close only on alarm and span very wide openings.

Car parks

Keep smoke on one level.

A car park is one large, low, open volume. Smoke fills an entire level before anyone reaches the exit, and travels up the ramps to the deck above. Roller curtains divide that volume without putting a wall in the driving lane.

Shopping centres

An open mall that divides itself on alarm.

A shopping centre lives on sightlines: long malls, open galleries, escalators between levels. That same openness lets smoke travel through the whole building unchecked. Curtains that disappear into the ceiling keep the mall open by day and divide it on alarm.
