Charles Devenish , CEO of Adexon Fire and Smoke Curtains looks at what is changing in fire curtains.

Introduction to Fire Curtains

Fire curtains are essential life safety systems designed to create a barrier in the event of a fire, separating spaces that are typically open to one another. They are engineered to deploy under gravity if both mains and battery power fail, ensuring reliable operation during emergencies. Once deployed, fire curtains form a seal to contain fire and smoke, preventing their spread and allowing for safe evacuation. Vertical fire curtains are particularly common in front of lift doors, providing effective fire protection without obstructing daily use.
