Fire Curtains and Smoke Curtains for Commerical Use: Restaurants and Theatres
Making sure everyone is safe in the event of a fire is crucial, whether that’s at home or work. At home, you can install fire and smoke curtains that form a fire resistant barrier to compartmentalise your living space and keep harmful smoke away from residents. This slows the fire down and gives you more time to escape from both flames and smoke. But, these type of safety curtains are also essential to ensure fire safety in commercial environments. If you’re in charge of making sure people are safe in the event of a fire at your premises, you need to consider preventative measures that can save lives and prevent injuries.
A fire risk assessment should be carried out in every commercial environment and the installation of fire curtains or smoke curtains considered. In this post, we’ll look at installing fire and smoke curtains for restaurants and theatre fire safety curtains.
Both restaurants and theatres are often very large and many are designed to be ‘open-plan’. We all love that feeling of ‘spaciousness’ while we are dining or being entertained. But, fires love space too.
An open space without preventative measures installed means fire can spread easily and quickly. Fire curtains and smoke curtains make sure that people have more time to get out and more chance of escaping without harm.
Smoke and Fire Curtains for Restaurants
The safety and well-being of your customers and employees is your top priority. With the rising number of fires in restaurants, it’s more important than ever to make sure that you have smoke and fire curtains installed correctly.
Fires in restaurants are common because of the nature of the business. Restaurant kitchens are full of grease, open flames and people working close together who are sometimes under pressure. These elements can result in a fire that spreads very quickly. In addition to this, the layout of many restaurants is not well suited for an easy escape from a burning building – think narrow hallways, high counters and tables blocking doorways.
Install smoke and fire curtains in your restaurant to protect your employees and customers from harm and to help ensure you are meeting the applicable fire regulations.
Theatre Fire Safety Curtains
Cinemas and theatres are often comprised of large, open spaces, which present a hazard when it comes to fire safety. Installing smoke and fire curtains means that the open space can be quickly and easily closed off into sections should there be a fire.
Large-scale theatre fires are not that common but they do happen. That means it’s important to have this type of safety equipment installed at your premises, so you have the best chance of making sure everyone escapes quickly if the worst should happen. In the event of a fire, the smoke or fire curtains can be activated and the building can then be evacuated safely and quickly.
Install fire curtains and smoke curtains in your theatre to help save lives and protect your premises from fire damage.
Fires in Empty Restaurants and Theatres
Of course, fires don’t always happen when people are in the building, fires often occur when buildings are empty. Using fire safety curtains for compartmentation of empty premises can slow down the spread of any fire. This means that there is more time for fire services to reach the incident and minimises both damages and costs.
