Smoke Curtains Newcastle

Westwood are leading Newcastle suppliers and installers of high quality Smoke Curtains.

Smoke Curtains are most effective when used as part of a smoke control system. For example, it is possible to create smoke reservoirs from which smoke and harmful gases can be extracted, or alternatively to prevent the spread of smoke and allow time for evacuation. Automatic Smoke Curtains are more than simply an addition to smoke ventilation systems.
