Fire-resistant Drapes: A Secure and Stealthy Fire Prevention Method
Navigating fire safety regulations in building projects can necessitate adjustments to designs, particularly in open-plan layouts. Fire curtains serve as an efficient, unobtrusive solution, ensuring both compliance and safety.
In accordance with official fire safety regulations, all properties must facilitate a clear means of escape and, if required, restrict a fire to contain its spread. This applies to residential, commercial, and public properties alike.
Fire curtains are a practical solution for meeting these regulations while maintaining open living spaces in domestic environments, open-plan offices, and large public buildings. By installing these curtains, the necessity for fire doors and glazing is eliminated, complying with safety regulations without compromising on design.
In domestic properties, the transformation of non-load-bearing walls into open spaces can create a desired living environment. Fire curtains ensure the required fire safety standards while preserving this design and providing peace of mind.
In commercial settings, open-plan offices enable efficient daily operations. Excluding separative walls may put the structure's fire safety at risk; however, fire curtains offer a discreet and effective solution. They can be installed unobtrusively in the ceiling, allowing for large open spaces that align with fire safety regulations.
Large, open public spaces are essential for functionality in buildings such as museums, galleries, and concert halls. Fire curtains compartmentalize fires in specific sections of a building, enabling safe evacuation. As such, they provide an ideal solution for public properties with large, open rooms, ensuring both safety and compliance with fire regulations.
For many years, fire curtains have protected iconic buildings, including Buckingham Palace and the Royal Albert Hall.
