Fire-Rated Fabrics for Hotel Window Treatments

Fire safety is non-negotiable in hospitality.

Key Standards

  • NFPA 701: Standard for fire propagation of textiles. Common in North America.
  • California TB 117-2013: California's flammability standard.
  • ASTM E84: Surface burning characteristics for commercial buildings.
  • What to Ask

    Is the fabric NFPA 701 certified? Is fire treatment inherent or topical? (Inherent lasts the fabric's life.)

    Documentation

    Maintain fire certification documentation. Fire marshal may request during inspections.

    Contact Baja Shades for fire-rated fabric samples with certification.
