FIRE CURTAIN-NAFFCO
Fire
curtains are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a
building. It is typically made of fire-resistant materials such as woven glass
fiber or other non-combustible fabrics. Fire curtains are installed within the
ceiling or walls and deployed only when necessary.
Fire
curtains are designed to withstand high temperatures and can provide resistance
for a specified period, typically ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending
on the design and material a fire curtain can prevent fire from 30 minutes to 4
Hours.
It’s usually
connected to a building's fire detection and alarm system. In the time of a
fire, the curtain is automatically deployed to contain the fire and smoke
through motorized systems.
In addition to
containing fire, many fire curtains also serve as smoke barriers, preventing
the spread of toxic gases throughout the building & are available in
different sizes and configurations to accommodate unique architectural designs.
Regular
maintenance and testing of fire curtains are essential to ensure they function
correctly during an emergency.
Our
Fire and Smoke curtains are undergoing extensive R&D on regular basis to
improve and expand the product line while providing ease of access, longevity
and integrity.
Elevator
and Elevator Lobbies
Elevator
shafts are the common conduits for the spread of fire and smoke which can
enshroud the entire building in a short period. Even though elevator doors are
fire rated, they do not provide a smoke seal. Fire curtains with smoke seals
can be used in this scenario to contain the smoke from spreading into the
lobby.
Escalators
and staircases
Both
escalators and staircases are breaches between floors and can be an easy means
for the spread of fire and smoke throughout the building. Using NAFFCO’s fire
and smoke curtain, the spread can be controlled and directed to provide easy
escape for the occupants.
Corridors
and Escape routes
Fire curtains
and smoke curtains are easily retractable which allows for quick and effective
evacuation during emergency situations. Our curtains come with various means of
egress* that allow for safe evacuation once deployed in the fire scenario.
Smoke channeling
Smoke curtains
are extremely ideal for channeling smoke to desired locations where smoke
extraction systems can act and direct the smoke outside the premises.
Compartmentation
Preventing the
spread of fire and smoke from one zone to another is a crucial element of fire
compartmentation strategy. NAFFCO’s fire and smoke curtains respectively work
as a physical barrier and help contain the spread of the fire and smoke
throughout the building.
