Smoke / Fire Curtain Solutions

Acting as a fundamental element of a fire protection strategy, fire curtains and smoke curtain systems are designed to deploy in the event of a fire to aid in compartmentalisation while supporting the architectural integrity of a building from design through to operation.

Available independently or as part of a wider smoke management and fire safety strategy, Greenwood Louvre is able to work from the design stage to ensure fire protection enhances performance whilst supporting architectural design.

Our work doesn’t stop there, Greenwood Louvre also offers maintenance plans to ensure the continuing safe practice of your fire and smoke curtain equipment.

Fire Curtains

Usually specified in larger buildings, such as theatres,
shopping centres, exhibition halls and so on, fire curtains are an essential part of fire protection. Fire-resistant curtains serve three main purposes in a building: they limit the initial growth of a fire, they prevent the spread of the fire, and also to protect valuable escape routes. Installed due to their support of architectural design by still allowing for open, airy spaces, fire curtains provide a protective barrier against fire and harmful smoke.

Greenwood Louvre’s innovative fire, smoke and heat resistant curtains offer an array of benefits that safeguard occupants of a building in the event of a fire.

  • Act as a wall block barrier against the spread of fire and smoke
  • Compartmentalise fire to allow for separation between affected room and exit access
  • Compartmentalise smoke to prevent it cooling and lowering to head height to quickly
  • Robust and lightweight solution
  • Subtle installation to enhance architectural visions
  • Suitable for application in smoke containment, smoke channelling and smoke sealing

Smoke Curtains

Designed as part of a wider smoke and fire protection
strategy, smoke curtains are usually placed in specific areas to guide harmful smoke away from exit routes and towards ventilation units. The key difference between a smoke curtain and a fire curtain is that a smoke curtain does not descend fully to ground level as not to interfere with the means of escape.

Greenwood Louvre’s smoke and heat resistant curtains can be fixed in place or deployed automatically within seconds of a fire emergency.

  • Compartmentalise smoke above head height to delay it from cooling and lowering to ground level
  • Works as part of an integrated system to leave fire escapes and corridors as free of smoke as possible
  • Rated to 120 minutes of smoke protection at 600 degrees Celsius
  • Woven fibre glass cloth provides continuous stable barrier against smoke
