Flexible Compartmentation
Fire Separation for Openings & Open-Plan Spaces
Fire curtains are specialist passive fire protection systems used to provide fire separation across openings where a permanent wall or door may not suit the building design.
Depending on the system, a curtain can remain retracted during normal use and deploy when activated by the appropriate control or detection arrangement.
Performance, dimensions, deployment method and smoke control capability depend on the individual tested and specified system.
Common applications
- Atriums and open spaces
- Lift lobbies
- Escalator openings
- Reception areas
- Escape-route protection

Frequently Asked Questions
Fire Curtains FAQs
A fire curtain is a deployable fire-resistant barrier used to provide fire separation across an opening within a building.
They are used where compartmentation or fire separation is required across openings such as atriums, lift lobbies, escalator openings and other open-plan areas.
Depending on the specified system, the curtain is normally retracted and deploys when activated by the appropriate control or fire detection arrangement.
Some systems are tested for both fire resistance and smoke containment. The required performance must be confirmed from the specific product documentation.
Selection depends on opening dimensions, required fire and smoke performance, deployment arrangement, surrounding construction and the tested system specification.
