A Complete Seal When You Need It Most
The Cookson SmokeShield Elevator is an advanced failsafe technology that stops hoistway smoke migration in its tracks and positively reseals the curtain after each cycle. The transparent barrier features colorful and intuitive graphics that provide occupants, first responders, and rescue personnel with clear instructions for operation.
To open the SmokeShield Elevator, one simply pushes the button located at the curtain center. The curtain will rise and stay up for approximately 10 seconds before automatically reclosing. A failsafe, monitored battery backup system assures curtain cycling capability in the event of a power failure. The SmokeShield Elevator Smoke Curtain can be wired directly to a backup system if desired. As a final life safety redundancy, occupants or responders can use an ADA compliant manual lift feature for access to and from the elevator car.
Versatile Smoke Curtains for Elevators Built to Your Dimensions
This elevator smoke containment system is manufactured to your custom specifications and accommodates openings up to 12 feet high by 12 feet wide. The curtain and the operating system, including the controls, junction box, and reserve battery system, all fit into the head box and require only 7.875 inches of headroom for installation.
Depending on your building design and preference, you can integrate the SmokeShield Elevator smoke curtain into the surrounding wood, drywall, or masonry fascia for maximum concealment. In addition to a wide choice of powder coat finishes, you may select exposed guide hardware in a durable anodized finish that matches #4 brushed stainless steel for superior aesthetic appeal.
