What is the difference between a stage fire curtain and a fire shutter?


In order to prevent fire from spreading and expanding in the building, necessary fire separation measures must be taken. Fire partitions such as fire curtains and fire shutters can meet the requirements of fire stability, integrity, and heat insulation within a certain period of time so that the building space is divided into several fire compartments so that once a fire occurs in each fire compartment, it will not spread and expand outside within a certain period of time, so as to effectively control the fire and create good conditions for fire fighting. Therefore, fire curtains and fire shutters are widely used in stage design.

Fire-proof curtains are not fire-fighting facilities but have certain fire-proof performance. Fire-proof curtains can be used on the main and side prosceniums of various theater stages. Stage fire-proof curtains are metal barriers separating the stage and the auditorium.

The fire shutter is a kind of fire separation facility, which is usually used in the division of fire compartments. When a fire occurs, it can fall automatically to prevent the fire from spreading.

It is set on the inside of the stage building and between the rostrum and the backstage. It is a metal barrier separating the stage from the auditorium. . Fire shutters have been widely used in construction fire protection due to their beauty, concealment, and convenient use.
