Critical Applications for Smoke Reservoirs and Channeling
The use of a glazed smoke barrier maintains an open and inviting atmosphere, contributing to an unobtrusive overall visual appeal of the space. These systems are commonly used in various types of buildings, including , transportation terminals, underground metro station, atrium openings, malls where smoke control is a critical component of fire safety and 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 a large open space design
To screen pipelines
At storefronts
Design Flexibility with ECO & DESIGN Fitting Systems
Modern smoke barriers for high-traffic areas are designed not just for safety, but also for architectural flexibility. Using materials like Electro-galvanized steel (ECO) and Stainless steel (DESIGN), these systems offer both durability and aesthetic appeal.
A key feature is the 2-point installation system, which allows for seamless integration around beams, ducts, and pipes, making it ideal for complex layouts. Whether you're designing a frameless glass barrier or a detailed smoke partition wall assembly, these systems ensure minimal visual disruption with maximum performance.
What is the primary purpose of a static smoke barrier (SSB)?
A static smoke barrier (SSB) is designed to control and contain smoke movement during a fire, helping maintain clear escape routes. It channels smoke towards exhaust systems, reducing inhalation risks and improving evacuation safety.
How does PYROSWISS SBS differ from a standard fire barrier?
PYROSWISS SBS focuses on smoke containment rather than resisting flames for extended periods like a fire barrier. It is typically frameless and transparent, offering discreet integration while supporting smoke control strategies.
Is the glass used in smoke barriers impact-resistant?
Yes, the glass used in smoke barriers like is generally toughened or safety-treated to offer impact resistance. This ensures durability in high-traffic areas while maintaining safety and performance.
