A fire curtain is a flexible, fire-resistant barrier that prevents the spread of flames and smoke. It’s often used in open plan areas — like shopping centres, airports and open plan offices — where permanent fire doors or walls aren’t practical.
Automatic fire curtains are usually linked to a building’s fire alarm system. They automatically deploy when the fire alarm goes off, descending from the ceiling. Because they’re made from fire and smoke-resistant materials, fire curtains prevent the spread of fire and smoke through a building.
Fire curtains have to adhere to British and European fire safety regulations. The UK’s primary fire curtain standard is BS 8524-1. Building owners are responsible for ensuring that fire curtains are certified, installed and maintained in line with regulations.
Fire curtains are installed in industrial, commercial and public buildings. They’re often used in open plan spaces, which are unsuited to standard fire doors and walls. Common applications include large retail, office, transit, leisure and warehouse spaces.
The person responsible for fire safety at your business should inspect your fire curtains every week, checking for obstructions and damage. Fire curtains should be inspected by a professional technician every six months. This ensures your fire curtains work properly in the event of a fire.
Fire curtain installation is best left to a professional installation team. Automatic fire curtain systems only provide an effective barrier against flames and smoke when they’ve been fitted correctly. Professional fitters understand fire curtain regulations and how to achieve the perfect fire curtain fit.
