Smoke Curtain is a active fire solution that prevent movement of smoke and heat from one smoke zone to anther by channelizing or pushing smoke towards smoke extraction points employed in a building. These smoke curtains are often set up near the elevator， stairs,  the junction of two different spaces. Smoke Curtains is barriers placed as part of smoke management systems in a building to stop the spread of fire and smoke within a structure. Smoke management during the fire process is a task full of challenges. Accoring to statistics from the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA], compared with the fire itself, it is very easy to get confused when escaping from the crowed due to the smoke from the fire. As a result, it will caused more casualties.

To prevent injury to building occupants during a fire, It is very necessary to protect people from smoke inhalation as well as from the actual flames. Smoke curtains are the ideal solution for smoke control. It is easily install them into existing buildings, and they work with other detection and response systems already in place. When the smoke detector detects smoke, the smoke and fireproof cloth will immediately lower to block the toxic gas generated by combustion. These curtains can seal doors and elevators, and they can even form an independent boundary around stairs and atriums without walls to ensure a safe escape space for personnel.
