How smoke curtains keep means of egress tenable by forming reservoirs and directing buoyancy-driven smoke.
Smoke kills first
In many fires, smoke and toxic gases threaten occupants long before structural failure. Keeping escape routes clear is a primary life-safety objective.
EN 12101-1 role
Smoke barriers tested to EN 12101-1 help designers create reservoirs and channels that work with extract systems. Gravity fail-safe deployment supports power-loss scenarios.
