Fire and smoke curtains for modern buildings
Textile fire curtains protect escalator voids, atriums, lift lobbies and open-plan spaces where solid fire shutters are impractical or ugly. They stay hidden until the alarm sounds, then deploy automatically to hold back fire and smoke — keeping escape routes clear and limiting damage. GEA designs each installation around your fire strategy and certifies it on completion.
Benefits of GEA fire protection
- Compartmentation without compromise: meet your fire strategy without changing the architecture.
- Protects escape routes: smoke curtains channel smoke away from the paths people use to get out.
- Production-friendly: conveyor closures protect openings that ordinary fire doors cannot.
- Fully documented: commissioning certificates and annual test records for audits and insurance.
- One supplier: design, installation, certification and servicing from a single Irish partner.
Types of fire protection systems
- Fire & smoke curtains – textile fire and smoke curtains for walls, ceilings and voids.
- Conveyor system enclosures – certified closures for conveyor penetrations in fire walls.
- Automatic & pedestrian doors – certified automatic fire-rated doorsets on compartment lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
A fire curtain is a fire-resistant fabric barrier that stays rolled in a compact headbox until the fire alarm activates, then descends to seal an opening. It provides certified fire separation without the weight, space and appearance of a steel shutter.
Typical applications include escalator voids and atriums in retail centres, lift lobbies, open-plan offices, and production facilities where conveyors or services pass through fire compartment walls.
Systems such as STÖBICH ECClos and Ecotube seal the opening around a conveyor line when the alarm activates — closing off the penetration in the fire wall while remaining fully open to production traffic in normal operation.
Yes. Fire protection systems must be inspected and tested regularly to remain certified. GEA provides scheduled annual inspections with full documentation for your fire officer and insurer.
Yes. Our systems activate automatically from your fire alarm panel and are commissioned against it as part of installation. Gravity fail-safe operation means curtains deploy even in a total power failure.
