What is a Draft Curtain?

A draft curtain is a fixed, noncombustible barrier that extends downward from the ceiling to channel, contain, and prevent the migration of smoke during a fire. Draft curtains are manufactured from fire-resistant fiberglass woven textiles or glass materials, creating smoke reservoirs that work in conjunction with sprinkler systems and ventilation equipment to improve fire safety in large, open spaces.

Why Draft Curtains Are Essential for Large Buildings

In buildings with high ceilings and large open floor areas, smoke from a fire naturally rises and spreads rapidly across the ceiling plane. This phenomenon, known as "ceiling jets," can quickly fill an entire structure with smoke, creating dangerous conditions for occupants and firefighters while potentially triggering sprinkler systems far from the actual fire source.

Draft curtains solve this problem by creating smoke compartments that:

  • Contain smoke near the fire source – Preventing unnecessary sprinkler activation throughout the building

  • Channel smoke to exhaust systems – Working with ventilation to efficiently remove smoke

  • Improve visibility for evacuation – Keeping smoke at ceiling level and away from exit routes

  • Protect property and equipment – Minimizing smoke and water damage to areas not directly affected by fire

  • Enhance sprinkler effectiveness – Ensuring sprinklers activate only where needed
