For a while now, deployable curtains that are both fire rated and smoke resistant have been utilized to protect elevators effectively. Nonetheless, incorporating them into atrium design is a recent development. Compared to a complex smoke exhaust system, passive smoke curtains present a simpler and less expensive solution in terms of certification, commissioning, and upkeep. Furthermore, deployable curtain systems can be constructed to be virtually invisible when not in use.
As a passive smoke management system, fire curtains consume less energy than a smoke exhaust system. When properly designed, smoke curtains can work alongside other life safety features in a building, such as sprinklers and smoke exhaust systems, to create an efficient smoke control system.
The implementation of a deployable smoke curtain system comes with many benefits. SG Solutions provides a variety of finishes, dimensions, and assemblies, as well as custom solutions when required to match your building's design.
