They help restrict the lateral spread of potentially lethal smoke and gas along the underside of an internal ceiling in the event of fire.
Fire Retardant Curtains are proven to be effective as part of a smoke control fire safety system.
Smoke reservoirs can be created from which smoke and hot gases can be extracted, or Fire Retardant Curtains may alternatively be implemented in your
Leeds business to prevent the spread of smoke allowing time for escape.
Our Leeds Fire Retardant Curtains are available in wide spans and can be face fixed, soffit fixed or suspended.
Automatic Fire Retardant Curtains are more than simply an addition to smoke ventilation systems. Fire Retardant Curtains save lives and should be considered an important component if you aim is to offer a fire safety system that will really save lives in the event of an emergency.
