Fire & Smoke Curtains
Comprehensive Fire
Protection Solutions
Smoke is one of the greatest threats to life safety during a fire. Fire and smoke compartmentalization is considered a fundamental requirement under IBC Regulations. According to the code, all access routes leading through fire compartment walls must be protected to provide the required fire integrity and smoke compartmentalization.
The most cost-effective solution to meet this requirement—while maintaining uninterrupted traffic flow—is installing an automatic fire curtain. These systems are lightweight and compact, making them a convenient alternative to bulky fire shutters.
Why Fire & Smoke Curtains Matter?
In modern buildings—from high-rise offices and airports to warehouses and shopping malls—fire safety extends beyond extinguishing flames. While rapidly moving flames are deadly, smoke inhalation remains the leading cause of death in fire-related incidents.
Smoke curtains act as silent protectors, ensuring that smoke and toxic gases are contained, visibility is maintained, and safe evacuation is possible. By creating temporary fire and smoke compartments, these systems help prevent rapid fire spread, reduce structural damage, and buy precious time for both occupants and first responders.
How Fire & Smoke Curtains Work?
When a fire alarm is triggered, automated smoke curtains deploy from concealed housings within the ceiling or wall system. Depending on design and location, they can drop vertically, fold horizontally, or extend across large openings.
Triggered instantaneously by the main fire alarm panel, smoke detectors, or heat sensors without human intervention.
Engineered to descend at a controlled, regulated speed even during complete mains electrical power failure.
Specialized woven fiberglass and wire-reinforced fabrics contain temperatures exceeding 1000°C for up to 240 minutes.
Allows occupants to safely navigate exit paths and provides firefighters with clear, smoke-free tactical access.
Comprehensive Range of Fire & Smoke Curtains
Automatic Fire Curtain
Fire containment systems prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one zone to another. Smart Komfort's curtain comprises flexible heat-resistant fabric with fire integrity up to 240 minutes.* The tube contains a DC electric motor that holds the curtain retracted at ceiling level at all times and deploys upon receipt of a fire alarm signal. The bottom bar ensures safe and controlled descent with gravity fail-safe.
Automatic Fire and Smoke Curtain
Smoke containment systems prevent the spread of smoke from one zone to another. Smart Komfort's curtain comprises flexible heat-resistant fabric with fire integrity up to 120 minutes.* The tube contains a DC electric motor that holds the curtain retracted at ceiling level at all times and deploys upon receipt of a fire alarm signal. The bottom bar ensures safe and controlled descent with gravity fail-safe.
Automatic Egress Fire Curtain
Fire containment systems prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one zone to another. Smart Komfort's curtain comprises flexible heat-resistant fabric with fire integrity up to 120 minutes.* The tube contains a DC electric motor that holds the curtain retracted at ceiling level at all times and deploys upon receipt of a fire alarm signal. The bottom bar ensures safe and controlled descent with gravity fail-safe.
By utilizing an egress door, this system allows individuals to pass without retracting the curtain. Smart Komfort's automatic egress fire curtains provide fire separation without impeding the transit of occupants exiting the area. These curtains are ideal for elevator lobbies, cross corridors, passageways, and escape routes.
Automatic Melodeon Fire Curtain
Smart Komfort's Melodeon Fire Curtain systems prevent the spread of fire from one area to another. The curtain assembly comprises fire-rated fiberglass fabric uniquely folded into a compact head box typically installed above the ceiling with a finished bottom tray. This makes the system virtually invisible until activated. The curtain descends at a controlled speed upon receipt of a fire alarm signal and provides fire integrity for up to four hours.*
Fixed / Draft Smoke Curtain
Smart Komfort's Static Smoke Curtains provide reliable smoke protection in commercial and industrial buildings. Draft curtains secured to structural steel ensure that smoke and hot gases remain buoyant within the smoke zone, in accordance with smoke management strategies.
