Fire Curtain Systems 

A fire curtain system is a passive fire protection system designed to contain and slow the spread of fire in a building. It consists of:

1. Fire-resistant curtains or panels
2. Steel or aluminum frames
3. Mounting hardware
4. Control systems (e.g., smoke detectors, heat sensors, or manual activation)

Fire curtain systems are used to:

1. Compartmentalize fires
2. Protect escape routes
3. Safeguard people and assets
4. Meet building codes and regulations

Types of fire curtain systems:

1. Vertical fire curtains (e.g., in elevators or stairwells)
2. Horizontal fire curtains (e.g., in ceiling applications)
3. Angular fire curtains (e.g., in corners or angles)
4. Smoke curtains (designed to contain smoke only)

Fire curtain systems can be:

1. Automatic (activated by smoke detectors or heat sensors)
2. Manual (activated by manual pull stations or handles)
3. Gravity fail-safe (deploy automatically in the event of a power failure)

When selecting a fire curtain system, consider factors such as:

1. Fire-resistance rating
2. Size and coverage area
3. Material and durability
4. Activation method
5. Integration with other fire safety systems
6. Maintenance and testing requirements
7. Local building codes and regulations

Remember to consult with fire safety professionals to ensure the appropriate fire curtain system is selected and installed for your specific building needs.
