High-performance fire curtain solutions for complete protection
Fire curtains offer an innovative and discreet way to contain fire and smoke within a building without compromising on design or functionality.
Fire curtain installation
At CMC Fire Stopping, we provide expert installation and maintenance of fire curtain systems to help you safeguard lives, meet legal obligations and keep your premises protected. Fire curtains are flexible, fabric-based barriers that deploy automatically in the event of a fire. Installed within ceilings or wall cavities, they remain hidden during normal use and only descend when triggered by a fire alarm system, giving you an unobtrusive yet highly effective layer of passive fire protection.
Fire curtains designed around your premises
We work with leading manufacturers to supply and install fully certified fire curtains for a wide range of buildings, including offices, retail spaces, hospitals, schools, industrial facilities and residential developments. No matter how large or small the premises, our experienced team will assess your space and design a solution that integrates seamlessly with your fire strategy.
You can rest assured that we take care of the entire process, from specification and compliance checks to precise installation and final commissioning. Every curtain we install is tested, calibrated and certified, giving you full confidence in its performance and reliability. Whether you need a fire curtain to protect an escape route, atrium, lift shaft or open-plan area, we’ll make sure it meets both your safety needs and your design requirements.
Fire curtain maintenance
Like all fire safety systems, fire curtains must be regularly maintained to ensure they function correctly in an emergency. Neglected or poorly serviced curtains can fail to deploy when needed, potentially putting lives and property at serious risk.
Our fire curtain maintenance services give you the peace of mind that your systems are in top working condition. We carry out scheduled inspections, operational testing and preventative maintenance in line with manufacturer guidelines and UK regulations. Our fire stopping specialists will check for signs of wear, damage, electrical faults and system integration issues, providing a full report and any recommendations for remedial work.
We’ll help keep your paperwork up to date
As part of our maintenance service, we also ensure that your fire curtain records are fully up to date. This supports your company’s compliance with fire safety legislation and helps you to prepare for audits or fire risk assessments.

FAQs
What is a fire curtain?
A fire curtain is a deployable, fabric-based barrier that automatically drops in the event of a fire to compartmentalise open areas and maintain fire resistance.
Where are fire curtains used?
They are often used in open-plan areas, lift lobbies, atriums and escape routes where traditional fire walls or doors are impractical.
How long do fire curtains resist fire?
Fire curtains are available with different ratings (typically from 30 to 120 minutes) depending on the system and intended application.
Are fire curtains connected to fire alarms?
Yes, fire curtains are usually integrated with the building’s fire detection system so that they can deploy automatically during an incident.
Can fire curtains be used for smoke control?
Many fire curtains also offer smoke containment properties, but it’s important to confirm whether a curtain is rated for both fire and smoke resistance.
