Smoke Curtains, BÖLDT FC-SM

Overview

Smoke Reservoirs Without Permanent Bulkheads

Engineered to EN 1634-1 / EN 12101-1 · Manufactured in-house

Smoke curtains descend automatically on smoke detection to subdivide large volumes, atriums, malls, warehouses and car parks, into smoke reservoirs, channelling smoke toward smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) extract points and keeping escape routes clear of smoke logging for longer. Tested to EN 12101-1 for smoke control curtains and barriers, and deployed using the BÖLDT Fail-Safe Descent mechanism used across the BÖLDT fire curtain range, smoke curtains require no standby power to close on activation or power loss.

How It Works

Forming the reservoir

• -Concealed head box houses the curtain fabric above the ceiling line until activation
• -On smoke detection, the fabric descends to form a continuous downstand barrier
• -Smoke is channelled within the resulting reservoir toward dedicated extract points
• -Curtains can be configured in linked banks to subdivide a single large volume into multiple reservoirs

Application

Where This Curtain is Specified

Shopping mall and atrium smoke reservoir subdivision, warehouse and logistics facilities with SHEV systems, basement and multi-level car parks, and any large volume where smoke control strategy requires curtain boards that remain concealed during normal use.
