Why Attend Our CPD Webinar?
As the inventors of fire curtains, we continue to lead the industry, with projects including the world’s longest fire curtain installation and landmark buildings such as the Sydney Opera House, the Gherkin and the Natural History Museum.
This CPD explores the role of fire curtains within passive fire protection, where and how they can be used, and the different types available, including horizontal, vertical and concertina curtains. It covers key standards, regulations and performance criteria, as well as considerations for curtain selection and installation. The seminar also looks at the importance of regular maintenance to support ongoing compliance and performance.
Drawing on real-life applications, the CPD provides architects with a practical checklist for specifying fire curtains on future projects.
