Product Description

The FL-SHLD 90 is a specialised horizontal fire safety solution designed to protect floor voids, escalator openings, and stairwells where a standard vertical curtain is not an option. This system deploys across a flat plane to prevent fire and intense heat from travelling between different levels of a building.

Constructed with a high-strength mild steel barrel and a unique octagonal bottom rail, the FL-SHLD 90 ensures a smooth and reliable horizontal deployment. It is powered by an internal 24V DC electric motor and utilises advanced wire-reinforced fabric to maintain a robust fire barrier.

Ideal Uses

Use the FL-SHLD 90 to seal horizontal openings and prevent the “chimney effect” of fire spreading upward.

  • Escalator and Stairwell Voids: Effectively closes off the gap between floors to stop fire and smoke from rising through open circulation areas.

  • Atriums and Light Wells: Ideal for compartmentalising building levels without sacrificing the open-plan aesthetic.

  • Skylight Protection: Provides a fire-rated barrier for large glass roof sections to prevent fire from breaking through ceiling structures.

 

Key Features
  • Specialised Horizontal Operation: Specifically engineered to deploy across flat openings up to 12 meters wide.

  • Radiant Heat Protection: The fabric features a specifically formulated aluminium pigmented coating that reflects heat toward the fire source.

  • Gravity Fail-Safe Technology: Designed with a secure fail-safe system to ensure the curtain moves to its operational position even during total power failure.

Technical Specifications
  • Fire Rating: Available in 60-minute (1-hour) and 120-minute (2-hour) Integrity (E) configurations.

  • Heat Protection: Provides 30 minutes of Radiation Performance (EW) to keep heat transfer below 15kW/m².

  • Maximum Size: Capable of protecting openings up to 12 meters wide by 3 meters long (to a maximum of 32m²).

  • Standard Compliance: Fully tested and approved to BS EN 1634-1, BS 476, and BS EN 16034.
