Certified architectural smoke containment assemblies

Engineered for zero-footprint ceiling headbox integration. Our deployable textile curtains, continuous static glass screens, and interstitial void seals isolate toxic smoke reservoirs without compromising open atrium floorplates.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Three containment engineering configurations

ACTIVE PROTECTION

Deployable flexible textile curtains

Concealed within compact overhead headboxes, these motorized barrier assemblies remain invisible until triggered by alarm signals. Gravity fail-safe drop operation ensures reliable compartmentation during power failure events.

PASSIVE CHANNELING

Static laminated glass screens

Fixed structural glass barriers provide uninterrupted smoke reservoir channeling around escalators and floor voids. Engineered with high-strength clamp fittings to retain total visual transparency while meeting strict thermal loading requirements.

PLENUM INTEGRATION

Interstitial void seals

Specialized perimeter barriers configured to block horizontal and vertical smoke migration across unmonitored ceiling plenum voids, mechanical utility penetrations, and multi-level vertical transport shafts.

ACTIVATION SEQUENCE

Signal reception

Controlled gravity descent

Plenum pressure channel

Bottom-bar seal engagement

The system receives a dual-redundant 24V DC signal from the main fire control panel, overriding hold-open magnets within milliseconds of initial smoke detection.

The concealed curtain unrolls from the headbox at a regulated speed, utilizing gravity fail-safe motor brakes to maintain uniform tension without external power.

Side guide channels direct the curtain edge within structural tracks, preventing smoke leakage across high-pressure plenum differential zones.

The weighted bottom bar settles flush against the finished floor surface, completing a 1-hour fire resistance rating smoke reservoir barrier.
