Hi All
I was looking to purchase a bespoke piece of draping for a conference event in a hotel and the manufacturers have come back to me when quizzed about fire retardant properties saying:
"Thanks for your enquiry. We do not advertise or supply any drapes with fire retardant certificate or treatment. Our drapes are decorative products for events which need to be taken off after events, so does not require fire certificates as they are not permanent fixtures."
To me it is irrelevant if they are permanent fixtures or not! The chances of a fire during an event is much greater than when a room is unused so that seems an odd position to take for a company that specifically sells drapes for events. But I'm having difficulty finding anything that clearly sets out the requirements to prove that they need to be (I can find plenty on standard of fire protection, just not when it is required). If anyone can point me to a source of such that'd be much appreciated
Many thanks
