M4000 Overview

The Smoke Guard Model 4000 Perimeter (M4000) is a fire and smoke-rated textile curtain system designed to comply with codes. It serves as a vertically-deploying barrier, preventing the spread of smoke and flames or acting as a reservoir for smoke in spacious areas like atriums. This curtain system perfectly complements existing mechanical smoke and fire containment systems or can function as an additional fire curtain.
