Applications

FUEGUARD fire and smoke curtains protect diverse environments worldwide—from commercial complexes to critical infrastructure.

Shopping Malls

Modern shopping centres feature open atriums, escalator voids, and extensive glazed frontages—all of which create fire engineering challenges that FUEGUARD curtains are designed to solve.

Typical Applications:

  • Atrium smoke reservoirs and perimeter barriers
  • Escalator enclosure for vertical fire separation
  • Shop front protection where fire-rated doors aren't feasible
  • Service corridor separation from public areas

Products Used:

Fire curtains (EI rated), smoke channelling curtains, reservoir screens

FUEGUARD

Hotels

Hotels require discrete fire protection that doesn't compromise the guest experience. FUEGUARD curtains remain concealed until needed, maintaining architectural aesthetics while providing essential protection.

Typical Applications:

  • Lobby and reception atrium protection
  • Restaurant and function room separation
  • Conference centre compartmentalisation
  • Corridor protection in sleeping accommodation areas

Products Used:

Concealed fire curtains, smoke curtains with architectural finishes

Airports

Airport terminals present unique challenges with their vast open spaces, high occupancy loads, and critical operational requirements. Fire and smoke curtains enable code compliance without compromising passenger flow.

Typical Applications:

  • Departure lounge smoke management zones
  • Check-in hall compartmentalisation
  • Baggage reclaim area protection
  • Retail and food court separation
  • Gate area smoke control

Products Used:

Large-span smoke curtains, fire curtains for critical separations

Warehouse Interior

Warehouses & Logistics

High-bay warehouses and distribution centres have significant fire loads and require effective compartmentalisation. Fire curtains provide separation without impeding operational efficiency.

Typical Applications:

  • Fire separation between storage zones
  • Dock door protection
  • Conveyor and automation system interfaces
  • Office/warehouse separation
  • Smoke reservoir formation for extraction systems

Products Used:

Large-format fire curtains, industrial-grade smoke barriers

Hospital Corridor

Hospitals & Healthcare

Healthcare facilities require fire protection that supports horizontal evacuation strategies—patients often cannot be moved quickly, so smoke and fire containment is critical for defend-in-place approaches.

Typical Applications:

  • Ward corridor subdivision
  • Atrium and circulation space protection
  • Operating theatre and critical care separation
  • Reception and waiting area smoke control
  • Lift lobby protection

Products Used:

Fire curtains with egress features, smoke curtains for phased evacuation

Residential Building

Residential Buildings

High-rise residential developments require robust fire compartmentalisation, particularly around common areas, lifts, and stairwells. FUEGUARD curtains provide code-compliant separation in challenging configurations.

Typical Applications:

  • Lobby and entrance hall protection
  • Stairwell and lift lobby separation
  • Amenity floor compartmentalisation (gyms, pools, lounges)
  • Car park/residential interface protection

Products Used:

Fire curtains for rated separation, smoke curtains for common areas

Office Building

Commercial Offices

Modern office buildings favour open-plan layouts that challenge traditional fire compartmentalisation. Fire and smoke curtains enable design flexibility while meeting building code requirements.

Typical Applications:

  • Atrium and multi-storey void protection
  • Floor plate smoke zoning
  • Reception and lobby protection
  • Meeting room and conference centre separation (when required)
  • Core and escape route protection

Products Used:

Smoke curtains for open plans, fire curtains for rated separations

Industrial Facility

Industrial Facilities

Manufacturing and processing facilities often have specific fire separation requirements based on hazardous materials, process areas, and insurance requirements.

Typical Applications:

  • Production area zoning
  • Storage and production separation
  • Control room and operations centre protection
  • Loading bay and process area interfaces
  • Clean room and sensitive environment protection

Products Used:

Heavy-duty fire curtains, smoke control systems, bespoke solutions
