Flame retardant curtain fabrics are textiles that have been treated with special chemicals to make them resistant to ignition and flame spread. This is especially important in commercial settings where safety regulations often require the use of flame retardant materials to prevent the spread of fires. Direct Fabrics offers a range of flame retardant curtain fabrics suitable for commercial applications such as hotels, hospitals, and public buildings.
There are different types of flame retardant treatments used for curtain fabrics. The most common ones include chemical treatments where the fabric is coated or impregnated with special chemicals that make it resistant to flames, or inherent flame retardant fibers that are incorporated into the fabric during the manufacturing process. Direct Fabrics offers both options for customers to choose from, depending on their specific requirements.
