Fire Curtains

Fire curtains are an essential passive fire protection system designed to contain fire and smoke within specific areas of a building. Installed within ceilings, openings and concealed spaces, fire curtain systems help maintain compartmentation and support safe evacuation during a fire.

Fire curtain systems provide a lightweight and effective fire barrier where traditional fire-rated walls or partitions may not be practical.

Correctly installed fire curtains help maintain building compartmentation, slow the spread of fire and protect escape routes.

Fire Curtains Designed for Modern Building

Fire curtains are specially engineered fire-resistant barriers designed to deploy automatically during a fire event.

They are commonly installed within ceiling voids, atriums, large open spaces and building openings where permanent fire walls are not suitable. Once activated, the curtain forms a fire-resistant barrier that prevents flames and smoke from spreading between compartments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a quote for passive fire protection services?

We begin with a site visit or review of drawings and scope. From there, we provide a clear, transparent quotation based on the required works. For complex projects, surveys can be carried out first to ensure accuracy and compliance from the outset.

How do I know if I need fire stopping or passive fire protection services?

If your building has service penetrations, risers, ducts, or compartment walls and floors, fire stopping is required. This is especially important following refurbishments, M&E works, or changes in building use. A passive fire inspection or compartmentation survey will identify any defects or non-compliant areas.

How do you ensure fire stopping work is compliant?

All installations follow manufacturer-tested systems and relevant British Standards. We carry out quality checks, photographic evidence capture, and provide detailed documentation to support compliance, audits, and building safety records.

What passive fire protection services do you provide?

Our services include fire stopping installations, compartmentation surveys, penetration sealing, fire barriers, fire door works, remedial fire protection, and inspection and reporting. All works are carried out using tested, compliant systems and installed to current regulations.

What types of buildings does Lincs Firestop work in?

We work across a wide range of sectors, including commercial buildings, industrial units, healthcare facilities, education settings, residential developments, and social housing. Our services are tailored to the specific compliance and safety requirements of each environment.

Why is passive fire protection so important?

Passive fire protection is critical because it helps contain fire and smoke within a building, protecting escape routes, reducing structural damage, and saving lives. Properly installed passive fire systems ensure a building performs as designed in the event of a fire and remains compliant with UK fire safety legislation.
