      Fire protection curtains

      In case of fire, fire protection curtains close wall and ceiling openings. Their construction (roll-down or folding technique) and the use of different fabrics provide for a wide range of applications as well as different protection goals, classifications and time classes. The casing and guide rails of the highly flexible systems blend almost invisibly into the building and allow plenty of scope for sophisticated architecture and open room concepts.

    • Conveyor system closures

      Conveyor system closures

      Various production and logistics processes call for the most diverse types of conveyor systems. If these conveyor lines pass through fire-retardant or fire-resistant walls or ceilings, the openings required for this purpose must be provided with fire protection closures to prevent the spread of fire through the conveyor system or the goods conveyed. In the event of fire, conveyor system closures (CSC for short) must close these openings immediately and automatically. Fire resistance classified according to DIN EN 13501-2 is just as important as the smooth clearance of the closing areas in the event of a fire.

    • Smoke curtains

      Smoke curtains

      A smoke apron is a part of a smoke control system which also includes other components such as natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (EN 12101-2) and mechanical smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (EN 12101-3). Smoke aprons restrict the movement of combustion gases within a building in case of fire.

      Smoke protection curtains

      Once closed, smoke protection curtains (SPC) restrict the passage of smoke during the phase of fire formation, so that in the event of a fire, there is enough time to rescue people and animals from the room behind the curtain and to recover material assets without the need for respiratory equipment.

    • Tube sealings

      Tube sealings

      The solution for issues with fire protection dampers in ventilation and air conditioning systems in conveyor processes. Stöbich offers fire protection for pneumatic conveyor lines the closing elements of which are not exposed to the flow of conveyed material. This way, the closing element cannot be damaged or contaminated by abrasive conveyed goods.

    • Control units

      Control units

      Each automatic fire protection system needs a control unit. They are critical to safety, because a failure of this function means that the entire investment into a fire protection sealing has been in vain. Control units coordinate both fire detection and interaction with other control units, such as higher-level building control systems or clearing of the closing area of conveyor system closures.

Thermally insulated fire protection curtain

Fibershield® Series-I

The Fibershield® Series-I system complies with the fire resistance classes EI₁ 30 - EI1 90 as well as EI2 30 - EI2 120 in accordance with EN 13501-2, is CE-marked and may be placed on the European market in sizes of more than 7 m width and approx. 5 m height in accordance with the harmonised product standard for fire and smoke protection closures EN 16034:2014 in conjunction with EN 13241:2003+A2:2016. The textile fire protection closure is the latest generation of thermally insulated fire protection curtains made by Stöbich. 

Insulating fire curtain

Alternative to fire protection gates and doors

Buildings are divided into fire or smoke compartments to prevent the uncontrolled spreading of fire and smoke in case of fire. To prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent sections, the thermally insulating Fibershield® reliably closes even large wall openings. Thermally insulating means that not only the spreading of a fire as a result of flame penetration (classification "E") but also as a result of heat transfer (classification "I") is prevented. For planners, architects and facility operators Fibershield® provides a visually unobtrusive and economical fire protection solution. It is characterised by low space requirements, simple installation and great user benefits!

The closure has the winding kinematics of a rolling gate and requires little installation space above a wall opening. This way, the textile closure can be neatly integrated in suspended ceilings in an almost invisible way. The thin patented multi-layer fabric and the drive integrated into the winding tube allow for housing dimensions that require only half or a third of the space of a fire protection rolling gate.

Due to the patented lintel lock, the panels around the winding shaft can be dispensed with as an option. This way, the installation dimensions can be reduced even further. The multi-layer design of the fire protection curtain with its alternating insulating and cooling layers results in minimal material usage and thus a weight reduction in comparison to conventional designs. Thanks to its low weight and low installation space requirements, the system is ideally suited for modifying or retrofitting fire protection systems in existing buildings.

Creative freedom for architects and planners

In new buildings, the closures provide for unusual design options for the reliable closing of particularly wide openings in the event of fire. The main focus in the further development of Fibershield® was on easy installation. The guide rails are in plug-in design, without visible screw connections and can be harmoniously integrated into the building concept in terms of colour.

Benefits for facility operators

The enclosed space of a building should be used to its full potential. More storage space for pallets, more usable space for shelves or other fittings pays off in euros and cents. For conventional fire protection elements, it is usually necessary to provide room at the sides of the wall opening during daytime operation. With conventional fire protection doors, the open door leaves often have to be protected against collisions by an elaborate steel construction. The Fibershield® fire protection system is installed above a wall opening. The space required for the parking position in conventional elements can now be put to good use and the expenditure that would otherwise be incurred for protective structures and their maintenance is no longer an issue.
