Smokeshield® Elevator Smoke Containment System

Model Number: ERF10

In the event of a fire, elevator shafts are like funnels, drawing in smoke and feeding flames. The SmokeShield® Elevator Smoke Curtain, powered by our patented GuideLock™ technology, operates after each elevator cycle to seal off hoistways, effectively containing smoke and preventing its spread throughout a building.

Industry-Leading Smoke and Fire Protection

Strategically designed for multistory residential and commercial structures, the SmokeShield Elevator Curtain is an essential part of fire safety plans. Named the 2023 Best Fire Safety System by American Security Today (AST), its innovative design draws on our century-long experience of developing fire protection and safety solutions.

Smoke Containment System Technology

The SmokeShield Elevator Smoke Curtain works hand-in-hand with a building's fire safety equipment. Complying with International Building Code (IBC) standards, it ensures effective containment of smoke and flames with a variety of architectural considerations in mind. 

Emergency controls on the smoke curtain allow first responders and occupants to exit during emergencies. When activated, the curtain rises, giving occupants 10 seconds to leave. The door then closes until the alarms are turned off.

Customizable Design 

Elevator smoke doors directly install on masonry, drywall, or wood. Customize header and guide colors to complement the design and style. Or, you match the shade to the mounting material for a low-profile look.

For a precise fit, our experts will tailor each smoke curtain to the specific dimensions of your opening. Elevator shafts measuring up to 12 feet in width and 12 feet in length can be accommodated. An optional compact design requires only 10 inches of ceiling space, offering a practical solution for applications with  limited headroom.
