Smoke Control Curtains
Barriers for smoke control
Smoke curtains, also known as smoke control curtains, are fixed or mobile textile screens designed to channel, contain and/or prevent the spread of gases generated in case of fire. Tecnitex smoke control systems guarantee fire resistance for 60 minutes at 1000ºC or 150 minutes at 600ºC.Functions and uses
Smoke curtains are textile barriers designed to create smoke reservoirs or channel smoke towards specific areas within a building. Their main function is to prevent smoke from descending into evacuation routes, helping maintain visibility and safer conditions during an emergency. By controlling the movement and temperature of the smoke layer, these systems contribute to preventing smoke stratification and improving the effectiveness of smoke control strategies.
Smoke Control Curtain Systems
Advantages
Our product range offers an invisible, innovative and functional solution for smoke containment and control in the event of a fire. The automatic smoke curtains are discreetly integrated into the building’s structure and deploy automatically when triggered by the fire detection system. Their compact and lightweight design ensures that they do not overload ceilings or lintels, making them suitable for a wide variety of architectural applications.
