Flame-retardant fabrics: what should you know?

Flame-retardant fabric is selected according to documented reaction-to-fire properties. The term does not mean non-combustible and does not automatically confirm suitability for every building.

01 / Fabric properties

When more than colour matters.

For hotels, offices and other commercial projects, window coverings often need to meet specified requirements. Appearance remains important, but the documentation must also be checked.

Start with the project's requirement: which test or classification is needed? Then select fabrics and check that their documents apply to the exact version chosen.

The description needs supporting documentation.

A collection label or general marketing description does not replace a fabric-specific certificate or test report. The responsible project specialist must assess whether the documentation supports the intended use.

Key points: do not choose a material by an abbreviation alone. Check the fabric code and valid documentation.

Care matters too.

Fabric properties may come from the fibre itself or a treatment. Cleaning must therefore follow the instructions for that specific material. Do not assume every flame-retardant fabric can be washed or cleaned in the same way.

Bring the project requirements and your preferred colours to the consultation. This will help identify suitable options before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Does flame-retardant mean non-combustible?

No. These are different terms; the precise classification is given in the documentation.

Does one certificate cover all fabrics?

No. Its scope and the identification of the specific fabric must be checked.
