What is the fire standard for marquees?
BS 7837:1996 - Specification for flammability performance for textiles used in the construction of marquees and similar textile structures is a British Standard that specifies requirements for the flammability performance of textiles used in the construction of marquees and similar structures. This standard covers a wide range of textile materials, including fabrics, ropes, and webbing, that are used in the construction of these structures.
What kind of marquees require fire resistance?
Marquees used for public events such as festivals, concerts, or trade exhibitions are normally required to be fire proof. Fire resistant marquees are often built of flame retardant materials that give heat and flame protection.
Can a marquee be sprayed with fire retardant?
Yes, a marquee can be sprayed with a fire retardant that is specially formulated and tested for this purpose. This is especially important if the marquee is going to be used in an area with a high risk of fire.
However, it should be noted that the marquee must not have a waterproof coating. The fire retardant must be able to penetrate the material.
A case study
The client was preparing for the Glastonbury summer festival, and they realised that the stall they had chosen needed to be fire-resistant. Therefore, they sent it to us so that we could treat it with a specialised, weather-resistant fire retardant.
