Enhancing Fire Safety at Royal Oman Police Hospital with Kent Smoke and Fire Curtains

The Royal Oman Police Hospital (ROP), one of Oman’s leading medical facilities, is equipped with advanced infrastructure and stringent safety protocols. Kent Smoke and Fire Curtains play a vital role in enhancing the hospital’s fire safety measures by providing high-performance fire curtains that offer Fire Integrity for up to 240 minutes and Radiation Protection for up to 85 minutes, ensuring maximum protection for patients, staff, and visitors during emergencies.

Why Fire Curtains Are Essential in Hospitals

Hospitals are high-traffic environments with patients in critical conditions, requiring clear evacuation strategies in emergencies. Automatic fire curtains provide an ideal alternative to traditional fire-rated double swing doors, which can hinder movement even under normal conditions. Installed within headboxes above ceiling panels, these fire curtains deploy when activated by fire alarms, utilizing gravity to descend to their operational position. Once deployed, they form an effective fire barrier while remaining retractable for emergency evacuations, offering flexibility through a two-stage deployment system with manual overrides. Fire curtains are tested to UL 10D, ensuring they perform just as effectively as fire-rated doors.

Kent also provides egress door options for fire curtains in primary evacuation routes. These soft-opening doors act as secondary means of escape, ensuring safe evacuation during emergencies.

Our products comply with BS EN 1634-1:2014 for fire resistance, BS EN 1634-3:2014 for smoke control, and UL 1784. The glass fiber fabric is tested for fire propagation properties to BS 476 Pt 6 & Pt 7, Class 0, ensuring superior fire performance. These rigorous tests are crucial in healthcare settings, where fire containment, smoke control, and safe evacuation routes are paramount for safeguarding vulnerable patients, staff, and visitors while adhering to stringent safety regulations.
