Smoke & Fire Curtains
Our Fire Curtain is a compact fully automatic motorised roller system with a high temperature stainless steel reinforced curtain, tested up to 1000°c, concealed in a strong steel casing above the doorway or opening. It remains hidden but ready to work – in the event of a fire. It is easy for a competent person to install and the first and only ‘plug and play’ system.
The Fire Curtain can be either a main alarm controlled or a standalone Fire Curtain safety system, replacing traditional fire doors in corridors, lobbies or ‘compartments’. The system only deploys in the event of a fire, total power or system failure (as required by regulation) or manual activation. The system specification must be approved by an authorised person ie Building Control.

Two-message voice warning device
- Message 1 – Curtain descending
- Message 2 – Curtain obstruction
Light beacon
Red Light – Flashing (not strobe) to indicate that the unit is operating.
Bump Stop (on bottom bar): A pressure sensitive strip on the bottom bar
that senses the obstruction, causing the curtain to retract, pause, play the
obstruction message, then descend again. This sequence is repeated three
times in a row before finally descending regardless of obstruction.
Obstruction Beam: If an object is blocking the curtain, then after 10
seconds the voice warning device activates. This is a warning device only. The
curtain will descend in the event of activation.
Fire Alarm input: The system is activated from main system or heat, smoke or
thermal fuse alarm inputs. Detectors can be wired in series to extend cover.
