Smoke Guard

Sustainability in architecture extends far beyond the visible green features we typically celebrate. While solar panels and living walls capture attention, some of the most impactful sustainable solutions work quietly behind the scenes. Fire + smoke curtain systems represent this intersection of innovation and practical sustainability. These automated systems do more than provide critical safety - they enable open, adaptable layouts that extend building lifespans and reduce material waste. By eliminating the need for fixed barriers and allowing spaces to evolve over time, they support the core principles of sustainable design: flexibility, efficiency, and longevity. Consider how these systems contribute to sustainability: ? Enable adaptive reuse while preserving architectural character ? Reduce material usage compared to traditional fire barriers ? Protect core infrastructure, minimizing repair and replacement needs ? Support flexible space planning for evolving building needs The future of sustainable architecture demands solutions that work smarter, not just greener. Fire + smoke curtain systems prove that safety and sustainability aren't just compatible - they're complementary. Ready to explore how these systems can enhance your sustainable building strategies?

?? Beyond Fire Suppression: The Critical Role of Smoke Containment in Healthcare Facility Safety ?? When a fire breaks out in a healthcare facility, the biggest danger isn’t always the flames—it’s the smoke. Patients with limited mobility, complex building layouts, and interconnected spaces create unique fire safety challenges. That’s why effective smoke containment is not just important—it’s essential. In our latest Smoke Guard Newsletter, we explore: ? Why smoke containment is critical in healthcare ? The challenges of fire safety in hospitals & care facilities ? How the Smoke Guard M4000 enhances fire + smoke protection with UL 1784-certified containment The M4000 is a fabric-based fire & smoke containment system designed for both new construction and retrofits. With seamless integration, a compact design, and reliable performance, it’s a game-changer for healthcare safety. Read the full newsletter ?? ?? Have thoughts on fire safety in healthcare?

?? Innovating Fire Safety Without Compromising Design ?? Smoke Guard’s Dean Flann has spent decades collaborating with architects and contractors across Central Texas, ensuring that aesthetics and safety go hand in hand. His expertise was pivotal in the Trinity University project with Lake|Flato Architects, recently featured in Architectural Record for its sustainable design and cutting-edge fire safety solutions. One of the standout innovations? The M3000 Horizontal Fire Curtain. When Lake|Flato sought an alternative to bulky steel systems for Halsell Hall’s three-story atrium, Dean introduced this discreet, energy-efficient solution. It preserves the open, modern aesthetic while meeting the highest safety standards—a true game-changer in fire protection. This project sets a new benchmark for balancing design, safety, and sustainability in modern architecture. #ArchitecturalInnovation #FireSafety #SustainableDesign #SmokeGuard #LakeFlato #TrinityUniversity

The M4000 is a code-compliant fire + smoke-rated textile curtain assembly designed to protect your space by: ? Preventing the transmission of smoke and flames ? Creating a smoke reservoir for upper floors of atriums or open spaces This vertically-deploying curtain is stored in a steel housing, typically above a finished ceiling, and automatically deploys upon receiving an alarm signal. It’s the perfect complement to existing mechanical smoke and fire containment systems or additional fire curtains.
