SmokeShield® Elevator is the ideal solution for hoistway smoke containment in multi-floor facilities. Working “behind the scenes,” it quickly and efficiently seals individual elevator door openings, reducing the advancement of smoke and hot gases during a fire. Its transparency allows first responders to identify those at risk, while colorful graphics make for easy, intuitive operation. Approved for mounting to drywall or masonry construction, SmokeShield® Elevator’s 10-hour battery backup ensures power during an outage, and the curtain can be raised using an ADA-compliant emergency strap located at the bottom. It protects shafts up to 12 feet high and 12 feet wide. With a compact size that occupies less than 10 inches of headroom, it is the smallest containment solution on the market. The award-winning SmokeShield® Elevator complies with IBC 2003-2024 and other standards and criteria including the AC-77 Acceptance Criteria for Hoistway openings. It’s listed under UL1784 and 864, ASTM E84 and the California State Fire Marshal. It also meets UL 325 requirements. Hardwiring enables a direct connection to an emergency power source. For commercial use only.
