Curtain up for Fibershield®-I
‘I’ for “isolation”:Thanks to the heat-insulating properties of the fabric, Fibershield®-I, as a fire protection closure of textile construction, manages without compensation measures such as sprinklers or fire-load-free zones. The system withstands the fire load just as well as a fire protection door or heat-insulating fire protection glazing. Fibershield®-I requires significantly less space on the wall, or more precisely around the opening. This in turn leaves plenty of room for design and at the same time creates valuable floor space. You can find more about the construction, fire resistance and proof of usability on our ➥ product page.
Less CO2 emissions thanks to less steel: Even during the production of the Fibershield®-I, the extra-thin cover plates on the housing and guide rails require even less steel than, for example, a fire door. Find out what else STÖBICH is doing and planning in terms of sustainability ➥ here.

Long live creative freedom!
The slim system requires only a small amount of space above the wall opening and can be integrated almost invisibly into the false ceiling. Fire protection requirements are met just as they are with solid solutions – but without disturbing the overall architectural effect.
The high-tech fabric is heat-insulating and makes it possible to have a fire barrier without the use of water and a fire-load-free zone (unlike curtains that do not insulate heat): this means that sprinkler systems, for example, are not required and high-quality interiors such as parquet flooring, carpets and unusual lighting are possible, even in historical buildings.
Due to its low weight and small size, the Fibershield®-I system is particularly suitable for retrofitting fire protection in existing buildings. Further information and application examples can be found in the white paper, which you can request using the contact form.
MORE SPACE FOR WHAT MATTERS
Because every millimetre counts, the heat-insulating Fibershield®-I system does not require any compensation measures, unlike non-insulating fire protection curtains. The space immediately adjacent to the wall opening can be used effectively for the sale of goods or as storage space; nothing else needs to be kept free or installed (e.g. sprinkler systems).
The slim system, which can be integrated almost invisibly with its narrow housing and can be extended fully automatically in the event of a fire, creates additional space at the point of sale. This saves you additional space that would have to be kept free for conventional fire protection constructions such as hinged doors, sectional or sliding gates.
As an easy-to-install standard solution, Fibershield®-I has proven itself in planning, installation and application and meets the building code requirements for fire-retardant, highly fire-retardant or fire-resistant 1:1 without deviations, from EI1 30 to EI2 120. From product development and customisation to installation, including technical control and maintenance, STÖBICH offers you fire protection solutions from a single source – as a convenient all-round carefree package, made in Germany. Further information and application examples can be found in the white paper, which you can request using the contact form.
All the information at a glance
Heat-insulating textile
Thanks to its insulating properties, the system can be integrated into almost any construction and provides heat insulation in the event of a fire for up to 120 minutes. This means that you do not need any additional compensation measures as with non-heat-insulating textile fire curtains and you can use the directly adjacent room for your purposes without restriction.
Small installation space
The fabric is only a few millimetres thick, enabling smaller housings and guide rail dimensions. The closure has the rolling kinematics of a roller door and requires only a small installation space above the wall opening. In addition, the patented lintel locking mechanism means that the covering of the winding shaft is optional. This allows the installation dimension to be reduced even further.

Easy planning
The product is fire-retardant, highly fire-retardant and fire-resistant and meets the building regulations requirements 1:1 without any deviations, from EI1 30 to EI2 120 – tightly closing and self-closing (C) as well as smoke-tight at ambient temperature (Sa).
Cost-effective even for large dimensions
Fibershield®-I fire curtains also close extremely large openings in the event of a fire and create unusual design possibilities with a good price-performance ratio – where conventional standard solutions are not sufficient.
Resource-saving
Due to the reduced use of CO2-emitting steel and steel plate, Fibershield®-I leaves a greener footprint than conventional solid fire doors even during production. The packaging consists of 80% recycled materials and is, among other things, FSC®-certified.

Innovation you can touch
With the mobile fire container, you can personally see the performance of modern textile fire protection products, for example at trade fairs and events. The heat-insulating STÖBICH fire protection fabric is installed in the container, and its protective effect is demonstrated inside the container in a simulated full-scale fire. Touching the textile, you can experience at first hand how the thin fabric of Fibershield®-I does indeed heat up noticeably – enough so that you can feel it – but still effectively seals off fire, smoke and heat.
