DEPLOYABLE DRAFT CURTAINS MODEL D100
Fire and Smoke Rated Curtains
System Description: The McKeon FireFighter D100 is manufactured from the same fabric that has been tested and certified for our 3 Hour Fire Rated and Smoke & Draft Rated assemblies, approved to span unlimited widths and heights up to 24 feet. The test criteria for fire rated assemblies included side guides, however the design parameters for draft curtains do not require any of the above certifications except the ability to stop the spread of smoke and therefore side guides are not required for the D100 Deployable Draft Curtains. Thus, the McKeon D100 Deployable Draft Curtain exceeds the fire and life safety requirements of the building code.
System Advantages:
FireFighter Deployable Draft Curtains are made of technologically advanced fire- resistant fabric. The assembly is concealed in a compact overhead housing and is virtually invisible when retracted. Operated by remotely located control unit and fully synchronized with the building fire and life safety system, the FireFighter truly is the “First Responder.” Upon activation the assembly gravity drops into place and is automatically reset after clearing of the fire alarm or smoke detection system.
Applications: A draft curtain is commonly used in large spaces where smoke management is a challenge. In these type of applications draft curtains typically work in conjunction with smoke and heat vents. These vent systems are not the same as active smoke evacuation systems, rather they are designed to minimize smoke movement and provide temporary tenable environments until building occupants can evacuate during a fire or emergency. Draft curtains are a critical part of the compartmentalization effort because they prevent the migration of smoke and help to channel it towards vents that are a passive system for smoke management.
