A Residential Fire Curtain is an Automatic Barrier / Curtain System that is a Fire Separating Element. It comprises fire resistance fabric fixed to a steel roller which is driven by an internal tubular electric motor.

The roller is mounted and enclosed in a steel housing and the bottom edge of the curtain has a weighted bar. The curtain is retained in side channels. It is activated from a Fire Detection System and closes to the finished floor level.

• Means of escape and protected routes
• Stairwells
• Alternative to traditional shutters, glazing partitions and non-load bearing walls
• Clear opening through corridors, communal and reception areas
• Lift lobbies
• Secondary means of fire separation

• Fail-Safe by Gravity (closes without the need of power)
• Controlled rate of descent
• Lightweight and compact
• Can operate independently from the main fire alarm
• Push to retract facility
• Obstruction sensor and voice warning
• Spans large clear opening widths and heights continuously
• Provides smoke control
• Reduces radiation (heat transfer)

• Invisible (recessed above the ceiling line)
• Creates open spaces and increases yield of workable/chargeable floor space
• Creates clear lines of sight by removing compartments
• Increases the scope of internal design possibilities
• Creates solutions for radical property design and development
• Maintains building fire integrity without compromise
• Increase tenability levels of escaping occupants
• Lower long term service and maintenance costs compared with tradition passive fire protection solutions
