What finishes do your fabrics have?Updated 2 years ago

We have a few fabric finishes to consider:

FR Treated

Standard FR treated fabric means that it's been match tested to ensure it won't burn with a match against it. This treatment is usually used in residential upholstery and commercial curtains and cushions etc.

CRIB 5 Treated fabric

This is when the fabric has been crib and match tested to ensure it will not burn with a match against it, plus a wooden stack called a crib is placed on the fabric and ignited. This treatment is usually used in commercial and hospitality environments.

Drapery

This is the untreated option, meaning the fabric has not been treated with any chemicals to protect it against burning; great for curtains in non-commercial settings.
