Fire Curtains (Vertical & Horizontal Fire Barriers)
At Bee Fire Protection Ltd, we design and install fire curtain systems to provide effective compartmentation in areas where traditional fire walls and partitions are not practical.
Based in Hull and operating across Yorkshire and the UK, we work with main contractors, modular building manufacturers, and facilities teams to deliver compliant fire curtain solutions that help control the spread of fire and smoke within modern buildings.

Vertical & Horizontal Fire Curtain Systems
We install both vertical and horizontal fire curtain systems, depending on the building layout and fire strategy requirements.
Our fire curtain services include:
-
Vertical fire curtains for doorways, corridors, and open areas
-
Horizontal fire curtains for ceiling voids and atrium protection
-
Integration with fire detection and alarm systems
-
Installation in line with tested and approved fire curtain systems
-
Commissioning and functional testing
All fire curtain installations are carried out by trained operatives to ensure reliable performance and regulatory compliance.
Where Fire Curtains Are Used
Fire curtains are particularly effective in modern buildings where architectural design limits the use of traditional compartmentation methods.
We regularly install fire curtains within:
-
Modular and off-site manufactured buildings
-
Commercial and retail premises
-
Education and healthcare facilities
-
Hotels, HMOs, and multi-occupancy buildings
-
Atriums, stairwells, and open-plan areas
-
Transport and infrastructure environments
Our nationwide capability allows us to support single-site projects and multi-site rollouts.
What Are Fire Curtains?
Fire curtains are active passive fire protection systems designed to provide compartmentation within open or complex spaces. Installed discreetly within ceilings or bulkheads, fire curtains remain hidden during normal building use and automatically deploy in the event of a fire.
Once activated, fire curtains:
-
Restrict the spread of fire and smoke
-
Protect escape routes and critical areas
-
Provide compartmentation where walls are not possible
-
Support safe evacuation and emergency response
Fire curtains are commonly used in open-plan layouts, atriums, doorways, and circulation areas where flexibility and fire safety must work together.
Compliance, Integration & Performance
Fire curtain systems must be correctly specified, installed, and integrated with other fire safety measures to perform effectively during a fire.
Our approach includes:
-
Installation in line with fire strategy requirements
-
Coordination with fire detection and alarm systems
-
Integration with fire walls, partitions, and fire stopping
-
Quality checks to confirm correct operation and deployment
This ensures fire curtains function as part of a coordinated passive fire protection strategy, rather than as isolated systems.
