CRL Smoke Baffle System is designed to provide an almost invisible tempered glass smoke curtain. Many of today's fire codes require large offices or retail areas to be broken down into smaller, more manageable areas that can be monitored by smoke detectors. This is the specific application for smoke baffles or curtains. Smoke curtains work to retain smoke in a specific area of a specified square footage. Some sprinkler systems are activated by a smoke alarm, so sectioning off areas through the use of smoke curtains can prevent unnecessary sprinkler activation.
