Description
Fire Retardant Polyester Voile (290cm Wide) is a lightweight, plain sheer fabric designed for both elegance and safety. With a wide 290cm width, it is perfect for tall drops, large scale drapery, and wide coverage areas without the need for excessive joins. This inherently treated FR voile conforms to BS5867 Type 2 Part B, ensuring compliance with strict fire safety standards.
Unlike topical fire retardant finishes, the inherent FR treatment is built into the fibres, meaning it will not wash out or wear off over time. This makes the fabric a reliable and long-lasting choice for public venues, events, and interiors requiring both style and safety. It can be washed at 40 degrees while retaining its fire-retardant protection.
