Protecting Your Community with Fireproof Stage Curtains
Did you know that untreated stage curtains in village halls can pose a significant fire risk during public events? Ensuring compliance with BS 5867 Part 2 Type B fire safety standards is critical to keeping your community safe, meeting fire risk assessment requirements, and avoiding costly replacements.
Village halls, as community hubs for rural areas, host everything from weddings to theatre productions. With over 10,000 village halls in England and Wales, many of them rely on stage curtains that must be maintained for fire safety compliance.
Why Village Halls Need Fire Retardant Curtain Treatments
Stage curtains are frequently exposed to various environmental factors, which can cause the fire-retardant properties to degrade over time. Regular treatment every 5 years is crucial to maintaining these safety standards, as required by fire risk assessors and safety officers.
By keeping your curtains fire-resistant, you ensure:
Community safety: Minimize the fire hazard posed by flammable materials.
Compliance made easy: Have the required BS 5867 Part 2 Type B certificates readily available during inspections.
Cost savings: Avoid premature curtain replacements and reduce maintenance costs.
What Is BS 5867 Part 2 Type B Compliance?
BS 5867 Part 2 Type B is a British fire safety standard for curtains and drapes in public spaces, requiring them to meet stringent fire resistance criteria. This ensures that, in the event of a fire, treated curtains will resist ignition and help slow down the spread of flames.
Fire risk assessors often require proof of compliance, making regular fire retardant treatments essential.
