Flexible fire and smoke partitions provide many advantages over a stand-alone, complex, smoke exhaust system. Not only do deployable fire partitions provide effective protection around elevators as well as integrated into an atrium design, but they do so at reduced costs.

Did you know that asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation is the lead cause of fire-related deaths? This cause exceeds burns by a 3:1 ratio. This harsh reality is what drives certain building codes such as enclosed elevator lobbies in order to protect occupants from both fire and smoke.

Did you know that asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation is the lead cause of fire-related deaths? This cause actually exceeds burns by a 3:1 ratio. This statistic has driven certain building codes such as enclosed elevator lobbies in order to protect occupants from both fire and smoke. in the event of an emergency.

Elevator lobbies provide quite the design obstacle when trying to integrate openness and sunlight into a multi-story building. This atrium area provides a critical first impression for the patrons of the building and a traditional elevator lobby does not allow for much flexibility when it comes to aesthetics.

Enclosed elevator lobbies are required by most building codes to limit the ability of smoke and fire to travel from floor to floor via elevator shafts.

Enclosed elevator lobbies have a variety of purposes.

The options are plentiful when it comes to configuring a passive smoke management system.

Health Care buildings such as hospitals and clinics provide unique obstacles when trying to satisfy building codes and also provide the security and privacy necessary.

Depending on the type of health care building, it may be important to have a more active smoke management system in place than just deployable smoke curtains.

A passive smoke management systems requires no mechanical systems to support them. They are typically easier to install as they do not require intervention from an engineer.
