Existing absorbent stage curtains can usually be treated on site to BS 5867 Part 2 Type B, avoiding unnecessary replacement and providing the certificate your hall needs.

Why existing curtains can often be retained
Village-hall curtains are frequently well made and expensive to replace. When the fabric is absorbent and suitable, professional treatment can bring the curtains to the required BS 5867 performance while they remain in place.
We identify the fabric and choose the appropriate specialist product before application.

Measurements and access
For each curtain, measure the finished drop and the width along the bottom edge, then tell us whether it is lined. Include swags, borders, legs and masking curtains that also need certification.
We plan access around the stage and venue timetable. Photographs are optional unless there is an unusual access issue.

Certificate and aftercare
A Certificate of Fire Retardant Treatment is issued after suitable completed work and payment. Our certificates state that retreatment is necessary after five years or five dry cleans, whichever comes first.
Regular vacuuming helps curtains retain a pristine appearance and reduces the need for dry cleaning. Water washing removes the treatment.
