In a fire, smoke claims more victims than fire. Smoke curtains limit the spread of smoke to a certain area. The roller screens ensure that the smoke is sent in the right direction, from where it can then be efficiently removed. Smoke curtains form a key part of the fire safety of constructions such as parking garages and public buildings.

The smoke-resistant roller screen Smokescreen Active descends only when needed, on the basis of a signal from the fire control panel.
