Understanding the critical life-safety role that elevator smoke curtains play is essential for architects, building owners and facility managers.

Vertical smoke curtains are fire-rated barriers that deploy from ceiling to floor when smoke is detected, containing deadly smoke & gasses to aid emergency evacuation.

While planning for fire safety has always been an integral part of building design, smoke containment has only become an important consideration in recent decades. This is even more true for the elevator shaft. From increasing evacuation times for building occupants to helping firefighters and first responders quickly navigate building floors, installing elevator smoke curtains with fire-rated elevator doors can greatly enhance the safety of your building during an emergency. Let’s explore some of the most important things your clients need to know about elevator smoke containment and how you can help them understand the advantages of a properly installed smoke curtain system.
