Top 4 things to think about when specifying fire and smoke curtains
As an architect or designer, there is a lot riding on your recommendation of who should provide smoke and fire curtains on a project. The provider should have a single source responsibility for materials and labor while also providing service capabilities once the project is completed. Here are the four key points we’ve found that need to be considered before making this vital decision.

Considerations when installing bullet-resistant frames
In order to reliably increase building security, a barrier and access control system needs bullet-resistant frames for its ballistic doors and windows.
At one time, architects and builders had extremely limited options for such ballistic framing. Today, advancements in designs and fabrication techniques have expanded the options significantly.
