Fire and Smoke Curtains: Smart Protection Against Fire Hazards
Introduction
With the increasing risks of fires in residential and commercial buildings, fire and smoke curtains have become one of the most modern solutions for ensuring safety. These curtains not only prevent the spread of flames and smoke but also provide people with enough time to evacuate while reducing material losses.
What Are Fire and Smoke Curtains?
Fire and smoke curtains are movable systems that automatically deploy during a fire, triggered by early warning systems (https://kayancomp.com/fire-alarm-systems/ ). Their main role is to isolate fire-affected areas and prevent smoke from spreading throughout the building, thereby minimizing disasters and protecting lives.
How Do Fire and Smoke Curtains Work?
1. Early Detection
They are integrated with fire alarm systems to detect smoke or heat and initiate an immediate response.
2. Automatic Deployment
Once a fire is detected, the curtains descend automatically to form a barrier against flames and smoke.
3. Integration with Fire Suppression Systems
They work in harmony with sprinkler systems and gas suppression systems to enhance effectiveness and ensure full fire control.
