Description
The Orion Durable Fire Retardant Blackout Fabric is a high performance and versatile material designed for demanding interior and contract applications. Measuring 150cm in width, this inherently fire retardant fabric achieves 98% light exclusion and conforms to both BS5867 and BS5852 safety standards. Its robust construction makes it ideal for curtains, drapery, and commercial use in leisure facilities, educational buildings, car showrooms, theatres, and the film and media industry.
While the fabric provides excellent dim-out and blackout performance on its own, for complete 100% blackout results it is recommended to pair it with a 3 Pass blackout lining. This ensures total light control, even in the brightest conditions. Combining durability, safety compliance, and functionality, Orion Blackout is a trusted choice for both decorative and practical installations.
