Smoke Curtain & Extraction Systems

Smoke will seek the most rapid route of escape. In doing so, smoke can travel faster than a person can run. Our smoke curtains work with smoke extraction systems to provide a smoke escape mechanism. Curtains also retain the smoke at ceiling level and allow people to safely exit the premises.

Our Smoke Curtain is one of the most advanced, yet cost effective, systems on the market today. The key features are:

  • Deploy on fire alarm: Upon receipt of a fire signal the curtain will deploy, and our systems are designed to be integrated with your present fire alarm system.
  • Fail Safe Deployment: Many fires may result in the failure of electronic systems. In the event that the main power or back-up generator fails, the smoke and fire curtains will operate independently and deploy as directed by the alarm system. Should the alarm panel be compromised, the fail safe design will still deploy the curtains.
  • Light, but strong as metal fabric: The curtain fabric is fabricated in a proprietary manner to optimize performance, providing for an even surface and a tight interlacing of the fabric edges. The tensile strength is ten times greater than other fabrics due to the constant thread tension.
  • Route to Reservoir for Easy Extraction: The curtains form smoke reservoirs that contain the smoke and route it to the extraction systems.

We at U.S. Smoke & Fire Curtain believe that the vast majority of smoke extraction system applications can benefit by incorporating smoke curtain technology. For more information please download our Atrium Shield™ Application Note.
