FL-SHLD Series
Product Description
The FL-SHLD EW 120 Series is our premium life-safety solution. While standard fire curtains stop flames, they often allow deadly radiant heat to pass through. These “EW” rated curtains are engineered to block that heat, keeping the “safe side” of the curtain cool enough for people to evacuate safely.
You can specify the Standard EW 120 for heat and fire protection, or the EW 120 S for added protection against toxic smoke. Both models utilise advanced aluminium-pigmented fabric technology to reflect heat back toward the fire source.
Ideal Uses
Use these models for primary escape routes where occupants must evacuate past the fire zone.
