The importance of Fire Curtains in New Homes
No one expects a fire, but if you aren’t prepared, they can be deadly. According to official figures, in 2019 (the latest year with available data), fire in homes killed 215 people. Keeping your loved ones and property safe is one of the main advantages of using Fire Curtains in New Homes, which we cover in this article.
Not only does fire kill, but it can also cause long-term injury, including emotional trauma, and damage and destroy property. The more you can do to give everyone time to escape, and reduce the damage to property, the better.
Everything from candles, to cooking, faulty electrics on appliances, to unexpected accidents cause fires. Countless things in the home, not just the kitchen, are a fire risk. More people die from smoke inhalation than the actual fire itself. The last thing you want, especially if you’ve recently bought a new home, is for it to be damaged in a fire.
What is a fire curtain?
Fire curtains are an essential piece of fire safety equipment. Made of heat and smoke resistant material, they can be placed anywhere in a new home, or family property, where fires are most likely to start (such as kitchens and living rooms), to seal off a room in the event of a fire.
You can either activate these in the event of a fire or put the curtain down when you aren’t using a room, or won’t be home for a while, to ensure the house is protected. Domestic Fire Curtains are unobtrusive but will play a key role in stopping a fire from spreading, in the event of anything happening.
Why have Fire Curtains in New Homes?
Whilst the majority of fire curtains are installed in new homes, they can be retro fitted to both older properties and places of work.
