Description
Fire Retardant Sheeting Fabric – 270cm Wide is a wide-width woven sheeting fabric made from a 52% Polyester / 48% Cotton blend. Designed for temporary use, this fabric is treated with a non-durable, water-based fire retardant that conforms to BS5867 Type 2 Part B. It provides fire protection for up to one wash, making it suitable for short-term installations and decorative applications.
The fabric is woven to a 20 x 20 / 60 sq 68 pick construction on modern Air Jet looms, giving it strength, consistency, and quality. Reactive dyeing produces solid, vibrant colours with excellent colour fastness, achieved through an ozone-friendly process. This sheeting fabric is a practical and cost-effective choice for events, displays, and interior use where temporary FR compliance is required.
