Medical Centers provide a unique set of requirements such as secure access points, the ability to push gurney through doors, and the capability to quarantine areas of infectious diseases and research labs. For these reasons and more, traditional fire doors aren’t the best option. Luckily, flexible fire curtains can maintain the flow of traffic in emergency situations without sacrificing safety.
Flexible fire curtains provide a variety of benefits to hospitals, including:
- Increased safety – fire curtains cannot be propped open with furniture or door stops like traditional fire doors
- Better traffic flow – fire curtains are installed into wall or ceiling cavities and therefore help maintain clear and open hallways for when seconds really matter
- Complementary to complete fire management – deployable fire curtains are a great supplement to a comprehensive fire management system including exhaust fans and/or sprinklers
Another facet in smoke and fire safety for medical applications include the various internal windows for check in desks and administration. Luckily, the M2100 provide protection for smaller openings such as internal windows or countertop openings.
