Kent Automatic Accordion Fire Curtains - Ideal Safety Solution for Open Kitchen Areas
Open kitchen designs are popular in modern spaces for their spacious, inviting feel, but they come with a significant safety concern—fire hazards. That’s where the Kent Automatic Accordion Fire Curtains comes in, offering the perfect balance of safety and style for high-risk areas like open kitchens. Whether it’s a commercial food court or a high-end residential space, our fire curtains provide reliable protection without disrupting the aesthetic appeal.
Why Kent Automatic Accordion Fire Curtains for Open Kitchens?
The Kent Accordion Fire Curtains provides unmatched safety and flexibility, creating a fire-resistant barrier between kitchen areas and public spaces during emergencies, while remaining practically invisible when not deployed.
How It Works
In the event of a fire, the curtain automatically deploys using a gravity fail-safe mechanism, descending in two stages to allow safe evacuation. The push-button override gives the option to retract the curtain if needed. When not in use, it stays concealed within the ceiling, preserving the space’s clean, modern look
