Creative work can often be treated without changing its visual intent. The material, construction and required standard determine the right treatment and certificate.

Start with the finished artwork
An artwork is rarely just one material. Fabric, paper, natural fibres, thread, backing boards, adhesives and surface finishes can all affect absorption and the appropriate fire-retardant product.
We identify the material composition and construction before selecting a specialist treatment. A small sample test can be arranged where appearance, colour or texture needs confirming.

Treatment and certification
Suitable work can be treated in our workshop or at its installation site. The applicable standard depends on how the piece is made and used; textile hangings, upholstered constructions and building finishes are not assessed in the same way.
After suitable completed treatment, Fire Proofing Ltd issues a Certificate of Fire Retardant Treatment recording the items and applicable treatment standard.

What to tell us
Send the dimensions, material description, installation location and any standard requested by the venue or project team. Photographs are helpful for unusual mixed-media work but are not normally essential for a quotation.
