​FIRE RETARDANT (FR) BLACKOUT

Fire Retardant Blackout is a high quality cotton and polyester mix fabric with a soft handle, designed to block out 99% of light. We permanently bond this FR blackout to the reverse side of a fabric which enhances the face fabric to be more resilient. This backing is most commonly used for hotels and residential settings for drapery and blinds.

​

The key benefits of using blackout is the insulation and noise dampening properties due to the density and opacity of the heavy weight premium lining. This is a 3-pass blackout which is made by applying a thin layer of white foam, black foam and the third and final layer of white foam fused together.

​

The fire retardant properties in this fabric meets the required British standards for drapery BS 5867 Part 2B which approves commercial usage for hotels. *Face fabric must be FR Treated before sending for backing service.
