Thoms Fire Escape Chute Specification

The Thoms Fire Escape Chute is designed to evacuate with speed and safety, even from particularly high buildings. Once installed, the chute is completely invisible from outside the building until it is needed. It is easily deployed and can be used by anybody, although we recommend that small children and babies are accompanied by an adult on decent.

The chute is made of soft strong fabric that is water repellent and flame retardant, and even helps to filter out smoke! Escaping feels secure and comfortable, and there is never the sensation of falling, because you are always supported by the spiralling sliding cloth.
