Textile fire protection and architecture
Many building-related fire protection measures are required to satisfy valid building regulations, guidelines and insurance conditions. Fire and smoke protection solutions play an important role here. In light of more demanding architectural designs, Stöbich develops a wide range of solutions whose function follows form thereby allowing open plan concepts to be realised. Textile fire protection solutions offer effective protection against the uncontrolled spreading of fire and smoke. At the same time we also create a high level of flexibility in terms of installation and execution - in particular thanks to the large growth in the number of our product variants. Compared to conventional fire and/or smoke protection doors, gates or dampers, textile systems have many advantages depending on the application. Often, they are much more suitable than conventional solution approaches. The so-called curtain systems are now available is various models for a number of application purposes.
