Fire Blankets
Fire blankets are critical tools in preventing the spread of fire and smoke in commercial buildings, ensuring safety and compliance with European standards.
Fire Blankets and Fire Curtains
Fire curtains are barriers made of fire-resistant materials that deploy automatically in the event of a fire. They are installed in ceilings or walls and remain concealed until activated by a fire alarm system. Upon activation, fire curtains descend to compartmentalise spaces, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. This containment allows for safe evacuation and minimises property damage.
The European standard EN 12101-1 regulates smoke and heat control systems, including fire curtains. This standard specifies the performance requirements and testing methods for fire curtains, ensuring they provide effective smoke control and maintain fire compartmentation. Fire curtains must meet fire resistance ratings outlined in EN 13501-2, which classifies the fire performance of construction products and building elements.
Compliance with these standards ensures that fire curtains can withstand high temperatures and maintain integrity during a fire, effectively containing the spread of flames and smoke.
Compliance and Safety
Adherence to these European standards is essential for ensuring the efficacy of fire curtains and fire blankets in commercial buildings. Compliance involves rigorous testing and certification processes, ensuring that these fire protection tools perform as expected during a fire.
By integrating fire curtains and fire blankets that comply with European standards, commercial buildings can significantly enhance fire safety. These measures help contain fire and smoke, protect occupants, and minimise damage, thereby contributing to safer building environments.
