Protection targets

Safe escape routes due to adapted smoke protection classifications according to leakages, temperature loads and time classifications. 

Extinction of the fire by the fire brigade becomes easier as they can detect the origin of the fire. This is possible due to the smoke compartments avoid a spread of smoke to the complete room.

Smoke curtains can increase the effectiveness of SHEV systems, i.e. the higher the smoke layer, the smaller the openings for exhaust air as well as for the fresh air intake openings.

Smoke curtains serve to separate rooms for the mechanical smoke exhaust. Therefore the rating and the linked investment for exhaust fans can be reduced.

A controlled flow of the smoke can be achieved by smoke curtains even with cross streams which may have a negative influence on the entrainment of the smoke - especially in high rooms.

Invisible smoke curtains do not only comply with highest architectural demands, but do also not limit the view.

The Stripecoil system offers corresponding characteristics in case that in disadvantageous building structures escape routes have to be combined with smoke curtains. Even large numbers of persons (depending on the width of the system up to approx. 200 persons) can pass through the system without important limitations.

Fixed smoke curtains have the advantage of being very light weighted - approx. 1kg/m² and offer an easy sealing of continuing pipes, ducts or cable trays.
