When furnishing hotels, event halls, or public institutions, fire safety is a top priority. Curtains, especially in high-traffic or hospitality environments, must meet strict flame-retardant standards to comply with local regulations and ensure guest safety. Choosing the right fireproof curtains is not only about material performance but also about compliance, certification, and design flexibility.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials of sourcing flame-retardant curtains — including fabric types, treatment options, certifications, and how you can customize them for your brand or project.
Why Fireproof Curtains Matter in Public Spaces
Public spaces such as hotels, schools, hospitals, and government buildings are often required by law to install flame-retardant furnishings. Curtains can act as fuel in a fire, so using non-treated or untested fabric poses serious risks.
Fireproof curtains:
Help slow the spread of flames
Provide crucial evacuation time during emergencies
Comply with fire safety codes (NFPA 701, EN 13773, BS 5867, etc.)
Avoid legal and insurance liabilities
Types of Fire-Retardant Curtain Fabrics
There are two main types of fireproof curtain materials used in commercial settings:
1. Inherently Flame-Retardant Fabrics
These are made from fibers like Trevira CS or certain treated polyesters that have built-in fire resistance. The FR property doesn’t wash out and remains effective for the life of the fabric.
2. Treated Flame-Retardant Fabrics
These fabrics (such as standard polyester or faux linen) are chemically treated after weaving to meet fire standards. They may lose effectiveness over time or after repeated washing but are often more affordable and suitable for temporary or seasonal use.
At Dairui Curtain, we offer both options depending on your project’s needs and budget.
Key Certifications to Look For
Different markets have different safety regulations. Here are some commonly required certifications:
NFPA 701 (USA): Ensures curtains don’t propagate fire or create dangerous drips.
BS 5867 Part 2 Type B/C (UK): Required for hotels, schools, and healthcare spaces.
EN 13773 (EU): Flame retardancy test for curtains and draperies.
AS/NZS 1530.2/3 (Australia/New Zealand): Testing for ignition and heat release.
When choosing a supplier, always ask for test reports or certificates. At Dairui Curtain, we provide documentation upon request to help you pass building inspections or meet client requirements.
Functional and Design Considerations
Fireproof curtains can be both functional and stylish. Whether you’re furnishing guest rooms, conference halls, or lobbies, here are a few points to consider:
Blackout Options: For hotel rooms or theaters, fire-retardant blackout curtains offer both light control and fire safety.
Color and Pattern Matching: Even fireproof fabrics can be dyed or printed. We support color matching to align with your project’s interior scheme.
Double-layered Curtains: Combine sheer fire-retardant voile with a blackout layer for both safety and aesthetic layering.
Explore our range of options in Blackout Curtains and Sheer Curtains — many can be customized with FR treatments.
