In public spaces such as hotels, hospitals and schools, curtains are not chosen on looks alone. The project specification often sets the fabric's flame-retardant performance too.
Options for our contract textiles
- Certified permanent or temporary flame retardancy on request
- Delayed-ignition finish on request
Which one fits depends on the project specification and how the space is used. We decide this together with you at the quote stage.
The fabric itself
All our dimout and sheer fabrics are 100% polyester (PES), uncoated and machine washable, and any of them can be made into flame retardant fabrics on request.
Documents
We can send copies of our flame-retardancy and delayed-ignition test reports with your quote. Share your project specification and we will suggest the right fabric and finish.
Standards often named in specifications
Flame retardancy is measured against different standards in different countries. Project specifications most often ask for:
- NFPA 701: the US fire test for curtain and sheer fabrics
- M1: the best fire classification for building materials in France
- BS 5867 Type B: the UK standard for curtains in hotels, hospitals and public buildings
- DIN 4102 B1: the German class for flame-retardant materials
Tell us which standard your specification names, and we will choose the fabric and finish to match.
