Airports provide a unique challenge when it comes to fire safety, they combine the complexities of open atriums with compartmentalized secure spaces. Therefore, the ability to securely section off smoke and fire in the case of an emergency is a necessity.
Flexible smoke and fire opening protectives provide many advantages over a stand-alone, complex, smoke exhaust system. Deployable fire-rated opening protectives provide effective protection around elevators or integrated into an atrium design. Plus, they do so at reduced costs.
