Fire Retardant Regulations for Curtains in the UK
In the UK, fire safety regulations require that curtains used in public spaces such as theatres, hotels, schools, and care homes meet strict fire retardant standards. Curtains in these environments must comply with BS 5867 Part 2 Type B or C, ensuring that they resist fire and prevent its spread.
While regulations do not mandate fire retardant treatment for domestic curtains, more homeowners are choosing to treat their curtains to enhance safety. Whether you’re responsible for a public venue or a private residence, our fire retardant treatment for curtains offers an essential layer of protection.
Real-Time Demonstration: The Risks of Untreated and Treated Curtain Fabrics
Watch our video demonstration to see the difference between untreated and treated fabrics. In this video, you’ll witness how untreated polyester velvet continues to burn, drip flaming debris, and fail essential fire safety tests—posing a serious fire hazard.
After treatment with our certified fire retardant, you’ll see the dramatic improvement in the same fabric. The treated curtain self-extinguishes within seconds, with no flaming debris, meeting BS 5867 Part 2 Type B standards. This powerful visual shows how effective our fire retardant treatment for curtains can be in preventing fire spread and keeping your space safe.
Can Ready-Made Curtains Be Made Flame Retardant?
Yes! Most ready-made curtains, whether purchased online or from a store, can be treated with flame retardant, provided they are made of absorbent materials. However, curtains with stain-repellent or waterproof finishes may not be suitable for treatment.
Our fire retardant treatment works on a wide range of fabrics, including:
Natural fibers such as cotton and wool
Synthetic fibers like polyester
Mixed fabrics
