The FC4 Fire Curtain is a high-performance fire protection system designed to provide both fire containment and radiant heat reduction, delivering enhanced life safety in modern buildings. Tested to BS EN 1634-1 and classified to BS EN 13501-2, the FC4 achieves an E60 EW30 rating, offering 60 minutes of fire integrity and 30 minutes of radiation control. This dual-performance capability makes it particularly suitable for environments where protecting occupants from both flames and heat is critical. Engineered for automatic operation, the FC4 deploys in response to a fire alarm signal or power failure, using a fail-safe gravity descent system to ensure reliable activation in all conditions. The curtain remains discreetly concealed within a slim headbox when not in use, preserving the architectural integrity of the space. Constructed from a multi-layer, stainless steel wire-reinforced fabric, it is designed to withstand high temperatures while limiting heat transfer to adjacent areas, helping to maintain safe escape routes and reduce secondary fire risks. Manufactured to order, the FC4 Fire Curtain can be tailored to suit a wide range of applications, from open-plan commercial spaces and atriums to healthcare facilities and public buildings. With options for bespoke sizes, modular configurations, and powder-coated finishes, it integrates seamlessly into both new builds and refurbishment projects. Fully compliant with UK Building Regulations, the FC4 provides a reliable, space-saving, and high-performance solution for fire compartmentation where both integrity and radiation protection are essential.
