The FireMaster Variable Speed Fire curtain consists of a high quality, motor-driven fabric curtain, which automatically traverses the aperture when triggered by an alarm.

When operated, the horizontal fire barrier is kept fully tensioned by the internal self-adjusting tensioning system. This unique mechanism automatically compensates for climate change, fabric stretch, cable stretch etc and does not rely on mechanical springs that age and wear causing variation. The system is fully tensioned in the operational position, and the barrier is retracted and stored within the housing when in the non-operational position.

Sophisticated controls incorporating fully addressable local or remote monitoring systems, enables easy integration with a dedicated fire and smoke alarm system..

The fire curtain fabric complies with all the requirements of BS 476 Part 22 1987. It meets the Class 0 requirements of England and Wales Building Regulations 1991, the requirement for Fire Propagation of BS476 Part 6 1989 and has Nil Spread of Flame, achieving Class 1 according to BS476 Part 7 1997.

Curtain
The EFP 2/1000 is a composite material of stainless steel mesh and woven glass fibre base fabric, coated in a specially developed reflective aluminium enriched polymer.

Bottom Rail
A box section bottom rail is attached to the curtain to assist sideways movement. When in the stored position the fire curtain's bottom bar creates a slimline soffit, with no visible fixings for a clean, uncluttered appearance.

Roller
The fire curtain fabric winds onto a tubular 70mm, 80mm or 100mm barrel of mild steel tube of sufficient diameter and wall thickness to resist deflection - mounted on endplate bearings..

Casing
Casings are manufactured from galvanised steel and are available in a range of sizes to fit various opening heights and widths. The barrel and curtain assembly is housed within the casing, and may be soffit or face fixed to the structure - either directly or by means of drop rods allowing services to be routed above.

Guides
Fire curtains require side guides to provide a seal between the curtain fabric and the structure of the building. A fire can cause positive or negative pressure, which can cause the curtain to billow and pull the fabric out of the side guides. Tabs are fixed to the outer edges of the fire curtain to prevent this occurring. The side guides are made from galvanised steel and prepared for fixing to the opening structure by non-visible bolts.

Finish
Guides, bottom rail and casings are supplied as standard in galvanised steel, and are also available polyester powder coated in a range of standard RAL colours at extra cost.
