Fire Curtain Maintenance

Fire Curtain Maintenance Services Newcastle

Fire curtains are an essential part of a building’s fire protection system, and regular maintenance is essential to ensure their proper functioning. Maintenance typically involves a regular inspection of the curtains to ensure they are free of damage, tears, or other signs of wear and tear.  The curtains should be tested regularly to make sure they deploy and retract properly. In addition, the mechanical components of the curtains must be inspected, guides and rollers are lubricated and cleaned to prevent any potential malfunctions.  Motors are tested and control panels examined and re-set

The repair process for fire curtains will depend on the extent of the damage and the type of curtain system in place. In some cases, minor repairs such as replacing damaged fabric panels or broken guide rails can be carried out on-site by trained technicians. More extensive repairs, such as replacing damaged motors, control systems, or cables, may require specialised equipment and expertise and may need to be carried out off-site. In the event of significant damage to the fire curtain system, it may be necessary to replace the entire system to ensure it meets current fire safety codes and regulations. To prevent future damage, it’s important to identify and address the root cause of any damage, such as faulty equipment, excessive heat exposure, or improper installation, to ensure the fire curtain system remains effective in protecting the building and its occupants.
