Flame Retardant Curtain Fabric
Choosing drapery and stage fabrics that are fire retardant is an important consideration for any space where people will be present. Ensuring that your fabrics are flame retardant will not only reduce the risk of fire hazards, but it will also ensure that you are complying with safety standards set by local authorities. All fabrics will burn, but those that are inherently flame resistant or that have been treated to meet a specific flame resistance standard will do so at a significantly slower rate than untreated fabrics.

Fabrics are treated to be fire retardant in one of two ways, either by dipping the textile into a chemical solution which will absorb into the fibres or by coating the fabric with a fire retardant substance. The dipping technique will give a more natural look, while the coating method can result in a less flexible and soft fabric.

In order to be considered a fire retardant fabric, the material must pass a series of tests to demonstrate its level of flammability. These tests measure the fabric's char length, flame intensity and smoke generation. These measurements are used to determine whether the fabric is suitable for use in public spaces, such as hospitals, theatres and cinemas.

Some fabric is inherently fire retardant due to the way it is manufactured or the fibres it is woven from. These fabrics will be designated as IFR (Inherently Flame Retardant) or PFR (Purified Fibers). The flammability of these fabrics will not dissipate over the course of their lifespan and will remain flame retardant even after repeated cleaning.

Other fabrics are flame retardant because of a specific chemical treatment that has been applied to the fabric after it is woven. These fabrics will be designated as FR (Flame Retardant) or CBR (Chemically Burn Retardant). The flammability of these fabrics will diminish over time, particularly after repeated cleaning. Fabrics that are labelled as CNFR (Cannot Be Made Fire Retardant) or ULFR (Underwriters Laboratory Flammability Retardant) cannot be treated to adhere to flame resistance standards and should not be used in public spaces.

A wide variety of pattern and textured fabrics are available in a range of colours to suit your space. From animal prints and stripes to damasks, these drapery and upholstery fabrics offer a selection of textures that are all inherently fire retardant or have been treated to be so.
