Glass smoke barriers (SSB)
Glazed smoke curtain systems, including glass smoke barriers, are widely used to enable the safe evacuation of people from buildings and reduce fire-related damage and financial losses.
Introduction
Introduction
Static smoke barriers (SSB)
Glazed static smoke curtain systems, such as a glass smoke barrier or glass smoke curtain, are designed to control the movement of smoke within a building during a fire. These smoke containment barriers trap rising smoke at ceiling level, channeling it toward evacuation points and maintaining smoke-free zones. By doing so, they help preserve visibility and keep escape routes clear, enabling safe evacuation and effective firefighting intervention. A glass smoke screen not only limits the risk of smoke inhalation but also helps prevent property damage, slows the spread of fire, and reduces fire-related losses.
Applications
Applications
The use of a glass smoke barrier helps maintain an open and inviting atmosphere while contributing to the unobtrusive visual appeal of a space. These systems, which include glass smoke curtains, glass smoke screens, and other smoke containment barriers, are commonly installed in a wide range of buildings—commercial, industrial, healthcare, and transportation terminals—where smoke control is essential for fire safety and compliance with building codes.
Glazed static smoke curtain systems can be used in the following containment applications:
- To isolate escalators
- To isolate stairwells
- To isolate elevators
- Containment screens above empty spaces
- Around the periphery of open atriums
- Within corridors in large open space designs
- To screen pipelines
- At storefronts
