Elevator Smoke Protection

Elevator smoke protection systems provide code-compliant smoke and draft control at hoistway openings using a magnet-based gasketing system. When used with standard fire-rated hoistway doors, these assemblies eliminate the need for an enclosed elevator lobby as required by the International Building Code. All units include a transparent screen in compliance with ASME A17.1 elevator code and meet UL 864, UL 1784, and NFPA 105 standards. Each system includes manual egress with less than 15 pounds of pressure at the film boundary, or via a screen-mounted push button, and is equipped with failsafe deployment on detection of smoke or power failure. These systems are ideal for office buildings, hotels and hospitals where an enclosed elevator lobby is not practical.
