Dried flowers are increasingly becoming designers' favorites due to their longevity, versatility, and unique aesthetics. Their sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to infuse spaces with vintage or rustic vibes are undeniable. However, their high flammability, especially in public spaces, necessitates the essential safety measure of fire retardant treatment.
In commercial locales like hotels or restaurants, ensuring dried plants undergo fire retardant spraying isn't merely advisable—it's often mandated for safety regulations. These treatments are particularly essential in places with a high public footfall.
This video illustrates the alarming speed at which dried flowers can ignite when exposed to a flame source.
In stark contrast, witness the power of fire retardant treatments. Treated flowers, when exposed, resist combustion, swiftly extinguishing without any smoldering.
From the fragile petals to robust foliage, our fire retardant spraying caters to all dried plant varieties. Specialized soaking agents guarantee thorough application, ensuring maximal safety coverage.
Our project at The Conrad Hotel London exemplifies how fire retardant spraying for dried plants can seamlessly integrate into design elements, offering both aesthetic appeal and unmatched safety.
After the fire retardant treatment, a BS 5867 Part 2 certificate is provided, assuring clients of regulatory compliance and offering a necessary record for insurance purposes.
Beyond adhering to standards, our fire retardant treatments are a testament to our unwavering commitment to public safety.
