Dr Steven S. Sadeghian CEO, U.S. Smoke & Fire
Our Featured Work: H&M Stores
"U.S. Smoke & Fire provided a unique solution that met safety codes without visually disrupting our space."
We challenged U.S. Smoke & Fire to provide a solution to the open architecture design in our flagship store. We needed a system that could make angles and turns without corner posts. Working with Underwriter Laboratories, U.S. Smoke & Fire customized Automatic Deployable SD240A Fire Curtains to use in place of Fire Rated glass. Because of their professionalism, proactive attention to detail, and expert execution, we use them in our other H&M facilities across the nation. I highly recommend U.S. Smoke & Fire for any curtain project.
