Smoke Curtains Telford

Westwood are leading Telford suppliers and installers of high quality Smoke Curtains. Westwood Telford Smoke Curtains restrict the lateral spread of smoke and gases along the underside of an internal ceiling in the event of fire. 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 hot gases can be extracted, or alternatively to prevent the spread of smoke to allow time for escape.

Telford Smoke Curtains save lives and are an essential safety component that allows you to stop the spread of lethal gases that are part of almost every fire and which are responsible for death and serious injury.
