Colt FireMaster FM1 Fire Curtain with Side Guides (non painted)

SIZE Max 5m Wide by Max 3m high - Excludes fixings, paint colour

The purpose of a fire curtain is to seal off an area to contain a fire and to prevent that fire from spreading to other areas. A fire curtain is used where, if there is a fire, it is necessary to create a temporary barrier within an opening. This barrier should not be visible at any other time.

THE COLT FM1 FIRE CURTAIN

The Colt FM1 Fire Curtain is low in weight and has minimal dimensions, which enables it to be installed easily in places with space constraints such as within a false ceiling. The Colt FM1 Fire Curtain automatically descends on receipt of a signal from the fire alarm panel or upon loss of power. Once this signal has been reset it automatically retracts.

HOW THE COLT FM1 FIRE CURTAIN WORKS

The fire curtain comprises a flexible heat resistant fabric which is impervious to smoke and hot gases, wound round a tube. The tube contains an electric motor which normally holds the curtain retracted at ceiling level. Upon receiving a signal from the fire detection system or on loss of power the curtain automatically unwinds in a controlled, gravity failsafe manner. A heavy bottom bar is fitted to the bottom edge of the fabric to pull the curtain down, to keep the material taut and to provide a suitable finish when the curtain is retracted.

Metal side guides with a fabric retaining system provide a seal between the curtain fabric and the building.The fabric retaining system ensures that a seal is maintained and that the fabric does not spill out of the side guides under fire or other pressures.
