Award-Winning Smoke and Fire Protection
Engineered to protect what matters most, the SmokeShield® Elevator Smoke Curtain was named the 2023 Best Fire Safety System by American Security Today (AST). Tailored to multistory residential and commercial buildings, this system is a valuable asset for the fire protection planning process.
Smoke Containment System Technology
Meeting International Building Code (IBC) standards, the SmokeShield Elevator smoke containment system creates an efficient seal against smoke infiltration, quickly isolating the elevator shaft from the rest of the building. Curtain-mounted pressure-sensitive switches let building occupants and first responders open the curtain when needed, which automatically closes and reseals after a ten-second delay. The curtain automatically reopens and resets itself once alarms are cleared.
Versatile Design and Simple Installation
SmokeShield may be installed directly to masonry or drywall construction. Choose from various headbox and guide colors to complement your overall design and architecture, or make it as inconspicuous as possible by installing the headbox flush into the soffit and with the guides hidden underneath the fascia.
To ensure a perfect fit, our skilled experts will design each smoke curtain to your opening dimensions. We can accommodate elevator shafts up to 12 feet wide and 12 feet high.
Sizes
Our smoke containment system is UL-listed to protect shafts to 12 feet high and 12 feet wide. Its compact size takes up less than 10 inches of headroom, making it the smallest containment solution currently on the market.
Usage
This product is only for use in an emergency. The integrated battery has enough capacity to cycle the system for up to 10 hours during a power disruption.
Operation
Our SmokeShield solution engages when the fire monitoring system sends an alert signal. The curtain-mounted switch reopens the door. A 10-hour battery backup ensures available power during an outage, and the curtain can also lift via an ADA-compliant emergency strap on the bottom.
Interior mount only.
Standard Materials & Finishes
The SmokeShield Elevator comes with extruded aluminum guides with steel brackets, bottom bars, and hoods with a standard RAL 9010 white powder coat finish and RAL 7021 black grey finish.
