Open Atrium Solutions: Perimeter Fire + Smoke Curtains

Open and airy atriums can be very environmentally friendly and typically offer large amounts of natural light and easy traffic flow.

When it comes to securing open atriums for fire and smoke protection, incorporating an open staircase or escalator in a non-egress path can pose a challenge.

Fortunately, the Model 4000 Perimeter Curtain offers a solution. This fire-rated curtain can be deployed vertically to enclose the opening of a stairwell or escalator without the need for corner posts or columns. The pleated curtain is fire-rated and retracts into a steel housing installed in a ceiling cavity. It can be customized to fit widths of various sizes and drop lengths of up to 15 feet.

Moreover, the Model 4000 Perimeter Curtain can be configured in different ways to offer greater design flexibility, such as an enclosed box-like format or a faceted open-ended configuration with or without side-guide captures.
