Products Overview

At Upstate Architectural Solutions, we provide advanced fire and smoke containment systems engineered for safety, reliability, and design flexibility. Our curtain solutions are custom-built to meet code requirements while maintaining the architectural integrity of your space.

Fire Curtains

Fire curtains are fire-rated, automatic-deploying barriers made from flexible, heat-resistant fabric that prevent flames and smoke from spreading. They meet UL 10D and UL 1784 standards, comply with NFPA 80 and IBC codes, and can provide up to 3 hours of protection. Engineered for safety without affecting aesthetics, they integrate discreetly above openings and activate instantly during emergencies.

Elevator Smoke & Fire Curtains

These compact, code-compliant curtains seal elevator openings to stop smoke and fire movement in multi-story buildings. Fully compliant with IBC §3006.2, they eliminate the need for enclosed lobbies and deploy automatically. Options include the clear GX curtain or the SD fire-rated system (up to 3-hour protection), with flexible or rigid side guides for seamless architectural integration.

Draft Curtains

Draft curtains are fixed, noncombustible barriers that control smoke movement in large open spaces like warehouses, atriums, and hangars. Built from fire-resistant fiberglass textiles or glass, they act as smoke baffles to enhance suppression systems. Tested to EN 12101-1 and compliant with NFPA 92, 204, and 409, they offer 1–2 hours of passive smoke containment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Are fire and smoke curtains compliant with building and life safety codes?

Yes. All our curtain systems meet UL 10D and UL 1784 standards and comply with NFPA 80 and the International Building Code (IBC). Our team ensures every installation meets local jurisdiction requirements and passes inspection.

Question 2: Do elevator smoke containment systems replace the need for an enclosed elevator lobby?

In most cases, yes. Our elevator smoke containment products meet IBC §3006.2, which allows elevators to open directly into corridors without enclosed lobbies, as long as compliant containment systems are installed.

Question 3: How often do fire and smoke curtains need maintenance?

We recommend at least one annual inspection to ensure proper operation and code compliance. Curtains with moving parts benefit from periodic testing and adjustments services we provide through our planned maintenance programs.

Question 4: Can your team service or repair products from other manufacturers?

Absolutely. We provide maintenance and emergency repair services for all brands, not just the systems we install. Our technicians are trained to diagnose, repair, and maintain multiple fire curtain and smoke containment systems.

Question 5: What industries or types of buildings benefit most from your curtain systems?

Our products are ideal for commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, government facilities, warehouses, manufacturing centers, and any property requiring enhanced fire protection or smoke management strategies.
