Description:

Coopers SmokeStop Horizontal smoke curtains are made of the same construction as the Horizontal fire curtains (see Fire Curtains: Horizontal). The difference is that only smoke fabric is used instead of the more durable fire curtain fabric.

As the smoke curtain fabric is a lighter product larger clear open sizes are possible. Contact one of our technical sales team for further information.
