New Fabric Fire Curtain Tested to UL10B with a Hosestream!
Meet the FireFighter Model D400

Fabric Fire Curtains have a lot of advantages when it comes to their light weight and compact storage (as compared to a traditional steel coiling fire door), but have been limited in where we can use them due to previous curtain's inability to pass the integrity (hose-stream) portion of the UL10B fire test. As a result, they were tested to UL10D, and put into a specific and limited group of openings that can be protected by a UL10D rated product per the International Building Code.
The D400 expands our capability beyond smoke partitions and 20 minute UL10B openings, to now being able to protect openings in a 2 hour fire wall or fire barrier! Check out this video for more information:
All in all, this has been a capability we have long wanted out of fire-rated curtains, and now, we are thrilled to offer this solution to help solve design and construction dilemmas to meet the requirements of the building code!
