Fire Protection Curtain
Reliable Fire Curtain: Safety, Efficiency and Certification for Industry, Trade and Public Buildings
In the field of preventive fire protection, flexible solutions are required that meet both safety and architectural demands. Fire curtains offer a modern, discreet yet highly effective alternative to conventional fire protection systems such as doors or walls. At Weglehner, quality, durability and certified safety are at the core – with customised fire curtains for industry, trade and public buildings.
What is a Fire Curtain?
A fire curtain is a flexible system designed to compartmentalise areas in case of fire, preventing the spread of smoke and heat. In an emergency, the curtain automatically descends and isolates affected zones – effectively stopping the spread of flames and smoke. Unlike massive firewalls or doors, these curtains remain invisible when not in use, integrated into the ceiling, without affecting room design.
Benefits of a Fire Curtain
The advantages are clear:
- Discreet Protection : The curtains are invisibly integrated into the ceiling during normal operation.
- Automatic Activation : They respond quickly and reliably via smoke or heat detectors.
- Combined Fire and Smoke Protection : They prevent both flame spread and smoke propagation.
- Flexible Applications : Whether in halls, shopping centres, production sites or office complexes – fire curtains adapt to different environments.
- Certified Safety : All systems comply with current fire protection standards (e.g., EN 13501) and have been extensively tested.
Areas of Application in Industry and Trade
Industrial environments require fire protection solutions that are both functional and safe. Large halls, storage areas or production lines often need dynamic solutions that can move while still offering protection. A fire curtain can be installed, for example, between conveyor systems, loading ramps or machine areas to isolate critical sections in case of fire.
In the commercial sector, such as supermarkets, logistics centres or office buildings, fire curtains demonstrate their strengths. They enable open architectural concepts without compromising on fire safety.
Public Buildings and Transport Hubs
In public buildings such as train stations, airports, museums or congress centres, efficient evacuation strategies are crucial. Fire curtains help keep escape routes clear and slow down the spread of smoke and heat – which can be life-saving. Thanks to intelligent control systems, they can be integrated into existing fire alarm systems and operate precisely according to predefined scenarios.
Integration into Modern Fire Protection Concepts
Modern fire protection increasingly relies on flexible and technically advanced solutions. Fire curtains from Weglehner are ideally suited to be integrated into fire protection concepts according to DIN 4102 , EN 1363 or ÖNORM . The systems are individually planable and can be powered by a UPS system (Uninterruptible Power Supply) , ensuring functionality even during power failures. In addition, they are available in various materials and design options.
