In today’s construction landscape, there are many safety requirements that are mandated to safeguard a building’s occupants and users – including many smoke and fire protection mandates that help offer additional layers of protection when disaster strikes. Since its founding in 1991, Smoke Guard Inc. has been at the forefront of delivering innovative and aesthetically pleasing fire and smoke protection systems tailored to suit any application in commercial buildings. Initially focusing on smoke-containment systems for elevator openings, Smoke Guard has evolved to offer a comprehensive range of curtain systems as well.
Smoke Guard’s fire curtains boast easy installation and flexibility, both aesthetically and in their practice. Vertical smoke curtains are meticulously designed for elevator lobbies and openings. Additionally, Smoke Guard produces horizontal curtains that enable designers to compartmentalize expansive spaces like atriums, thereby significantly reducing or even eliminating the need for mechanical smoke evacuation systems.
Standard elevator smoke curtains seamlessly integrate with existing fire protection systems, swiftly bringing a structure up to code. Moreover, Smoke Guard offers custom elevator smoke curtains, providing architects and designers with unparalleled flexibility as they can accommodate openings of nearly any size.
Smoke Guard’s protective systems cater to a wide range of applications, from small fireplace openings and dumbwaiters to pass-through counters, expansive atrium spaces, and proscenium curtains for theater stage areas. For spaces lacking corner posts, the M4000 Perimeter fire-rated curtain emerges as the optimal solution for vertically deploying perimeter curtain applications. This versatile solution effectively shields staircases or escalators from smoke and flames or creates a conduit and reserves space for smoke on upper floors. The perimeter curtain serves as a valuable complement to existing fire protection installations, significantly enhancing the safety of any space.
