Fire has played a crucial role in the development of every human civilization, but it also poses a significant threat to human life and property. Over the centuries, humans have learned valuable lessons about the importance of fire safety and protection. Today, we have sophisticated smoke curtains, fire curtains, and other active and passive smoke control systems that help us mitigate the dangers of fire.

Smoke curtains have become an increasingly popular safety solution in commercial and industrial buildings, especially as architectural trends have led to a wider variety of structures. Smoke and fire safety is always a top priority, and understanding how smoke curtains fit within the codes and standards for fire protection systems is vital for architects and building owners looking to keep the integrity of the design as well as building safety.

Rolling steel fire doors provide reliability, durability and safety during a fire emergency. With exceptional standards of quality, these doors can withstand the most demanding conditions in heavy industrial settings.

Smoke gaskets or smoke seals are designed to fill the gaps between a door’s leaf and frame and expand under heat. This gasket system prevents smoke and fire from getting to other parts of your building through infiltration. They offer a lot to the safety of your building’s design, but are they required? In some situations and types of buildings, gaskets are almost always required. Preventing the passage of smoke and fire to other parts of your building is crucial, and in some cases, life-saving.
