Available models
| Photo | Model | Classification | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| BACHFIRE | E 120EN 13501-2 | The standard automatic fire curtain: glass-fibre fabric with polyurethane coating, stitched with reinforced steel wire, on a steel roller Ø 78 mm. | |
| BACHFIRE Z | E 120 / EW 20EN 13501-2 | Fire curtain with additional EW 20 performance for situations that require radiation reduction in addition to flame-tightness. | |
| BACHFIRE EW | EW 120EN 13501-2 | Limits heat radiation to less than 15 kW/m² at 1 metre from the fabric — for 120 minutes. For escape routes along the curtain. | |
| BACHFIRE EGRESS | E 120EN 13501-2 | Fire curtain with an integrated escape door, so people can still escape after the curtain has closed. | |
| SUPERFIRE | EI 120EN 13501-2 | Insulating fire curtain that limits heat transfer as well as flames and radiation (EI performance) — without water spray. | |
| MEGAFIRE EI 120 | EI 120EN 13501-2 | Heavy five-layer fabric with intumescent and silica layers for large spans up to 15 × 7 metres. | |
| SUPERFIRE Z | EI 120EN 13501-2 | Insulating version within the Z line: the curtain not only holds back flames but also limits heat transfer, keeping the safe side passable. | |
| MEGAFIRE EI 60 | EI 60EN 13501-2 | Large-format curtain on an 89 mm roller, for openings that outgrow the standard line but need only sixty minutes of insulation. | |
| BACHFIRE H | EW 60EN 13501-2 | Horizontal version that closes off floor openings such as voids, shafts and escalator openings — where vertical screening is not possible. |
Classifications E, EW and EI explained
The classification tells you what the curtain holds back: E stands for integrity (flame-tightness), EW additionally limits heat radiation, and EI also limits heat transfer. Which class is required depends on the function of the separation and what lies behind it. On the fire safety knowledge page we explain the classifications in detail.
Applications
Fire curtains are used in passages and over large openings in industry and logistics, in facades to prevent fire spread, and around stairwells and atriums. See the solutions by application to explore the possibilities for your building.
Installation and maintenance
Installation is carried out by specialised dealers from our nationwide network, according to the manufacturer's instructions. With a maintenance contract the curtain is periodically inspected and tested, so its operation remains demonstrably assured — as the duty of care in the Dutch building regulations (Bbl) requires.
