Smoke & Fire Curtains Experts

Fire Safety is a crucial thing to save any damage to People, Property and Environment. With increasing concern for fire safety, deployment of Fire and smoke curtains is becoming mandatory and legislator for the new constructions and existing buildings. www.sfcexperts.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDbrLf5zy8nOstWyeRinhnw Automatic Smoke and Fire Curtains are operated automatically in case of Fire or smoke detection, from the Fire Alarm System or Fire Safety System or whenever a signal is received on the interfaced port of the Group Control Panel. This is a passive technique for fire safety and have been in practice around half centuries. Origin of this industry is mostly from the Europe and major prominent brands i.e. BLE, Coopers, Colt, Kent etc. comes from UK. While, USA, Germany, Russia, Spain etc. are also having the manufacturing facilities and brands. Fire curtains, although developed from established smoke curtain designs, are a relatively new technology. Any new technology throws up problems in design, application, use an acceptance which need to be solved. So, UL & BS standards are followed for these products. Before an Establish standard till 2013, PAS (Publicly Available Specifications) 121 was developed by BSI but it was not a full standard. So, two new standards were drafted for comments by BSI as BS-8524-1(Product Standard) and BS8524-2 (Standard for Application). As of April 2013 PAS 121 has been superseded by BS 8524-1 and BS 8524-2. Other UL specifications for Fire test for assemblies (UL10D, UL10B, UL10C, and NFPA 252), Air-Leakage (UL 1784) and several other IBC, NBCC, ASTM, NFPA, BSI standards are considered for these products. Both products enhance architectural flexibility and, used properly, form important parts of a building’s fire safety strategy.
