BS 5852 Part 1 Fire Retardant Spraying for pink and green, west end bar, artificial plant

Fire Retardant Spraying for Artificial Plants

Certified Treatment to BS 5852 for Public and Commercial Spaces

Ensure your artificial flowers, plants, and foliage meet UK fire safety standards with our BS 5852 certified treatment — expertly applied onsite by our specialist team.

Why Flameproof Your Artificial Plants?

Artificial plants are beautiful, low-maintenance design features — but untreated foliage can ignite quickly and spread fire dangerously fast.

Our fire retardant spraying treatment creates a protective layer over plastic, fabric, or synthetic foliage, helping prevent flame spread and satisfying fire officer requirements.

✅ BS 5852 Certification
✅ Odourless, clear treatment
✅ Applied on walls, ceilings, or before installation
✅ Complies with fire risk assessment requirements
