THE SYSTEM INCLUDES:

Head box and fabric

The system incorporates a glass fiber fabric wound around a steel roller that incorporates a 24V permanent magnet roller. The roller assembly is encased in a galvanized steel head box, which can be fixed directly to the building’s structure. The fabric is silver grey and can be printed with custom signage per customer request.

Bottom bar

A standard bottom bar is attached to the bottom of the curtain and serves to ensure that the curtain deploys under gravity in a controlled manner (Gravity Fail-Safe).

Side guides

The side guides provide a seal between the sides of the curtain fabric and the walls, ensuring that any positive or negative pressures created by a fire will be resisted by the curtain.
