Fire partitions work to compartmentalize smoke and fire before they can spread throughout a structure. They are lightweight and do not typically need structural reinforcement when being installed. Because of this fact, a fire partition rarely impedes on the design of a building or atrium.
As a passive smoke management system, fire partitions use less energy than a full-blown smoke exhaust system. If a more active smoke management system is required, however, fire partitions can be used to subdivide space served by a mechanical smoke exhaust system. Through a properly designed smoke control system, smoke partitions can work in conjunction with other safety elements of the building.
