Flameproofing Curtains
Fire Department code requires that all decorations and materials used for artistic enhancement be flameproofed (fireproofed). This code applies to all public buildings, which include theaters, department stores, restaurants, bars, night clubs, public halls and hotels (main areas, not guest rooms). All curtains used for aesthetic enhancement and decoration must be flame proofed (fire proofed) legally. Pennsylvania Flameproofing provides the flame proofing service required by law, and is certified to issue NYC flameproofing affidavits upon completion of ourflame proofing service - exactly what is needed to clear up any flameproofing violations.
According to the FDNY, over 26,000 structural fires occurred in New York City in 2010 alone. In order to avoid incurring huge costs as a result of the damage caused by a fire, curtains used in public areas should be fire proofed. When curtains are flameproofed, they become resistant to spreading fire and also helps prevent new fires from starting. The risk to life and property in a structural fire can be significantly reduced by flame proofing curtains.
Flame proofing curtains can be done on- or off-site, although on-site is easier, as it limits the time and expense of removing and reinstalling the curtains. Fire proofing can be done by either coating or soaking the curtains in the fire retardant.
