Westwood manufacture, supply and install high quality Smoke Rated Curtains Nationwide.
Smoke Rated Curtains reduce the spread of smoke and gas along the underside of a ceiling in the event of fire. Smoke Rated Curtains are designed to work most effective as part of a smoke control fire safety system. Smoke reservoirs are created to divert and extract smoke and hot gases that occur during the unfortunate event of a fire. Fire Curtains may alternatively be implemented to prevent the spread of smoke allowing time for a safe and successful evacuation.
Smoke Rated Curtains are much more than an simple addition to smoke ventilation systems. Fire Curtains can save lives and should most definitely be regarded as an essential component to any fire safety system.
