Common Questions
Q: How long does the fire retardant treatment process take?
A: Treatment time varies based on factors like curtain size and quantity, but it averages a few hours to a full day. If we treat your curtains off-site, expect a week's turnaround. We prioritize efficiency to minimise disruptions.
Q: Can I use fire retardant treatment on other fabric items in addition to curtains?
A: Yes, treatments can be applied to upholstery, bedding, carpets, rugs, and other textiles. Effectiveness depends on fabric type, so consult professionals for suitability. Our team can guide you on the best approach for your needs.
Q: How do I know if my curtains are flame retardant?
A: Check for a label on the curtains showing the fire standard, or refer to a certificate or documentation you received confirming their fire retardancy.
Q: What if my curtains don't have a label or documentation?
A: If you don't have a label or documentation for your curtains, you should consider having them treated with a fire retardant spray and obtaining a BS 5867 Part 2 Type B certificate to ensure compliance and maintain proper records.

Our fire retardant treatments effectively prevent the spread of fire. We use only the best products on the market, and we test different materials to ensure the highest standards of quality.

Video demonstration: By watching our videos you can see the effectiveness of our fire retardant treatment. To ensure consistency, the same fabric was used in both tests.

Comparison: Once ignition source is removed, the untreated fabric continues to burn, and drips flaming debris. In contrast, the treated fabric is extinguished immediately and no melting debris falls.
