How Ulti’s 60-Minute Fire Rated Curtain Enhances Facility Safety

Fire safety is non-negotiable in any facility – but when space is limited, finding a fire-rated solution that’s both effective and unobtrusive can be a challenge. Enter the Ulti 60-Minute Fire Rated Curtain, a sleek, space-saving system that delivers serious fire protection without the bulk of traditional fire shutters.

In this video, we see the fire curtain in action and discover why it’s the ideal choice for facilities requiring both fire compliance and operational efficiency.

 

A Closer Look at the 60-Minute Fire Curtain

The Ulti Fire Rated Curtain is designed to automatically deploy in the event of a fire, creating a fire-resistant barrier that holds for up to 60 minutes. Here’s what you need to know:

• Automatic deployment: When triggered by a fire detection system, the curtain lowers to create a compartmentalised fire barrier between rooms.
• Slimline design: Unlike bulky fire shutters, this curtain features a compact track and hood system, making it perfect for tight installation areas.
• Discreet when not in use: The curtain remains out of sight in the retracted (up) position, maintaining clean aesthetics and operational flow.

In the example shown, the curtain is used to separate a cold storage area from another building – an application where maintaining both thermal integrity and fire compliance is critical.

 

Why This Systems Stands Out

Beyond its 60-minute rating, the Ulti fire curtain can be configured for even higher protection levels – up to 240 minutes – depending on the building’s fire safety needs. It’s ideal for areas where:

• Space constraints limit the use of traditional shutters
• High hygiene standards rule out large mechanical barriers
• Aesthetic or functional flow is important in everyday operations

Plus, its simple installation and low-profile track system make it a versatile solution for both new builds and retrofits.
