Fire Curtains
Fire Curtains
Automatic, Smoke, Accordion, Egress and Fixed Systems up to 240 Minutes
Gravity fail-safe fire curtain systems engineered to compartmentalise large and irregular openings without obstructing architectural sightlines when not deployed. EN 1634-1 and EN 12101-1 tested, TÜV SÜD verified.
Product Range
Five Fire Curtain Systems, One Source
Automatic Fire Curtains
Compartmentation on Demand
Concealed-head curtains that deploy automatically on a fire alarm signal, gravity fail-safe, rated up to 240 minutes.

Smoke Curtains
Smoke Containment
EN 12101-1 tested smoke barriers that descend to form smoke reservoirs and protect escape routes.

Accordion Fire Curtains
Complex Geometries
Multi-fold curtains engineered for curved, stepped and irregular openings, rated up to 240 minutes.

Egress Fire Curtains
Safe Evacuation Routes
Two-stage descent curtains that maintain a clear escape gap before fully closing, rated up to 240 minutes.

Fixed Fire Curtains
Permanent Compartmentation
Statically fixed fire curtain panels for permanent shaft, void and opening closures, rated up to 240 minutes.

Gravity fail-safe by design
Standby
Fabric concealed in the head box; opening clear during normal use.
Deployment
On alarm or power loss, the curtain descends under gravity along steel guides.
Sealed
Weighted bottom bar seats to the floor, forming a continuous fire barrier.
Curtain fabric is held in a concealed head box and released by a gravity-fail mechanism — no power, spring or compressed-air dependency for closure
On loss of mains power or activation of the fire alarm system, the curtain deploys under its own weight to form a continuous fire and/or smoke barrier
Side guide channels and bottom bar ensure consistent alignment and seal across the full width of the opening, even on multi-fold accordion configurations
Every system is tested as a complete assembly — fabric, head box, guides and bottom bar — to EN 1634-1 and, where specified, EN 12101-1
