Which school curtains need attention?
Include stage curtains, borders, legs, masking, hall curtains and drapes in public teaching or performance areas. Curtains and drapes in public places require BS 5867; Part 2 Type B is normal, with Type C where the higher classification is specified.
Existing suitable absorbent curtains can often be treated instead of replaced.

Preparing measurements
Measure the finished drop and the width along the bottom edge of every curtain, and tell us whether it is lined. We also need the postcode and any height or access constraints.
Photographs are optional unless they help explain unusual access or curtain construction.

Treatment, certificate and care
We identify the fabric, select the suitable specialist product and complete treatment on site. The school receives a Certificate of Fire Retardant Treatment after completion and payment.
Retreatment is necessary after five years or five dry cleans, whichever is sooner. Regular vacuuming helps extend the time before dry cleaning is needed.
