In order to protect ourselves as much as possible from negative, and sometimes fatal, effects of various kinds of cataclysms, mankind is inventing ever new methods and means of protection. And, perhaps, one of the most pressing issues in this regard is effective fire protection. In this regard, we can recommend to pay attention to this, rather new, technology of fire protection, as the equipment of the room with fire-prevention curtains .
Rolling fireproof curtains
First of all, it should be noted that this type of fire protection will suit, rather, for large enough premises - warehouses, storehouses, garages, gas stations, museums, theaters, shopping facilities, stations, hotels and so on. Although, if desired, you can install fire protection curtains in residential areas (especially important for large manor-type houses). Their fire-fighting action is based on the separation and complete localization of the site with the ignition of the rest of the space. Also with the help of these curtains, the possibility of spreading asphyxiating smoke and combustion products is excluded. By the duration of confrontation with the fire, fire curtains are divided into several classes:
EI - 60, EI - 120, EI - 180, where the figure corresponds to the time in minutes. In addition, options for fire curtains with an irrigation system and additional protection against smoke penetration are possible. The fabric from which this type of curtains are made consists of a specific laminated fabric with reinforcement. In addition, additionally between the layers a special compound is applied, characterized by high fire-resistant and heat-insulating properties. Even if the canvas has seams, this does not affect the protective properties of the curtains in any way. For stitching of fireproof curtains, a special metalized thread is used, which allows them to be preserved even under the influence of open fire (curtains).
The principle of this type of fire protection is quite simple. The curtain in the form of a roll is placed in a special protective case, and the mechanism controlling its unfolding is connected to the corresponding type of alarm (smoke or fire). In the event of a fire, a fire alarm is triggered, immediately the signal goes to the mechanism of unfolding the fire curtain - it drops and completely covers (hermetically) the door or window opening (depending on the installation site), thereby completely cutting off the spread of fire (smoke) .
Installation of fire curtains
In terms of its design features, this type of fire protection includes the following components: curtains of fabric with special (in this case fireproof) properties, a protective box (usually steel), cutting and guiding tires, an internal electric drive. Fireproof curtains can be installed in a doorway, in a window opening or on top of a window opening. The design is so compact that it can be unobtrusively and conveniently placed in such a way that it will not be conspicuous and will not disturb the overall harmony of the interior. For example, a box with a fire curtain can be installed behind a suspended ceiling . In everyday life, until the fire alarm system works, no one will guess that the room is equipped with this type of protection.
Important!
