Smoke Curtains
Defender Smoke Curtains assist the management of smoke in a building, channelising the movement of smoke to smoke extraction points in the building or creating reservoirs to slow down the spreading of smoke.
The curtains remain virtually invisible in their retracted position within the compact head-box.
When signaled by a local detector or fire alarm system, the curtain descends to the operational level using the gravity fail safe system

The majority of deaths in a fire scenario are caused not by flame burns, but by the inhalation of hot smoke and toxic gases.
As a fire develops, smoke can quickly fill the building, creating a chaotic situation where people are incapacitated and unable to access exit points.
