What Is a Fire Curtain?

A fire curtain is an automatic barrier that resists flames and smoke. It drops from a hidden head box when the fire alarm goes off. This creates a heat-blocking wall that keeps escape routes clear and protects nearby areas.

As part of a passive fire protection system, fire curtains divide open spaces into fire-safe compartments.

They slow the spread of heat and smoke. This delay gives people more time to evacuate safely and helps limit damage. Each curtain is tested as a complete system to BS 8524-1 and BS 8524-2. This ensures its certified integrity and insulation performance.

How Fire Curtains Are Installed

At IF CITY Ltd, we install every curtain according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Our process starts with a detailed site survey. Next, we review the design and confirm the needed fire-resistance rating.

The team mounts the barrel and guides it. They connect the control and power circuits, then release the curtain. We time its descent to ensure it operates correctly.

After successful testing, you will receive a compliance pack that includes:

  • Photographs of each installation stage and inspection records
  • Serial numbers, test references and BS 8524 certificates
  • User manual and maintenance schedule

This pack provides full proof of compliance with FIRAS, Firefly and UK Building Regulations.

How Much Does a Fire Curtain Cost?

The price of a fire curtain depends on its size, fire resistance rating (30 to 120 minutes), system type, and how it connects to other safety controls.

Fire curtains are cheaper than many other fire-stopping options. They protect the building and help meet regulations for years.
