Fire And Smoke Containment

The functions of Automatic Smoke Curtain System are to facilitate the movement of hot smoke by containing and slowing down the movement of smoke from one smoke zone to another in the building, and to channel the smoke in a fixed path for smoke extraction via mechanical or natural means.

The objectives of automatic smoke curtain are similar to static smoke barrier, except for the capacity to retract and stay aesthetically concealed in the false ceiling unless
activated.

A window actuator is a component that facilitates the opening of a window via motor-driven automation. Window actuators carry out the grunt work for electric windows so that you don’t have to; opening and closing them with ease when smoke is detected, or when it rains, directed by smart sensors and controls.

(i) They deliver automated ventilation. It improves the indoor climate and comfort in the building through lower peak summer temperatures, enhances air quality and energy performance to reduce running cost.

(ii) They provide ventilation via out of reach openings using keypad control where manual winding gear is either considered too intrusive, expensive or high maintenance.

(iii) They used to provide smoke ventilation to improve building safety in the event of a fire.

Fixed smoke barrier is designed to compartmentalise smoke that rises to the ceiling in the event of a fire. This slows down the spread of smoke to other zones, preventing fire damage and allowing more time for people to evacuate.

False ceiling is often designed in most building to cover up the messy wires, cables and pipping structure around ceiling wall. Fixed smoke barrier prevent smoke spreading into the perforated false ceiling so that smoke and heat will not further transfer to another unaffected area.

These fixed smoke barriers are installed in larger open spaces such as warehouses, factories, large retail stores etc.

Glass Smoke baffles is designed to provide an almost invisible tempered glass smoke curtain.

It used to create smoke reservoirs and aid natural or mechanical smoke exhaust systems. Suspended glass is non-combustible and offers a transparent solution for areas requiring minimal interference to line of sight.

Smoke Control’s range is suitable for many project types including; railway stations, residential buildings and shopping centres.
