Are your awnings fire rated or compliant for hospitality use?
Many of our commercial fabrics and structures meet recognised European standards, and certified fire retardant fabric options are available where required for hospitality and public use settings.
Using fabric awnings on terraces there are many sources of danger that could cause all types of fire: smoking areas, candles, outdoor heaters, etc
Companies like Dickson Constant offer their fire resistant fabric – ‘Dickson Spark’ – A 100% fire retardant solution dyed polyester fabric designed for public terraces. Certified to M1, B1, and Bs1d0 fire ratings.
Markilux offer the Perla FR fabric for their awnings and pergola systems – A specialised flame retardant and waterproof sunvas polyester fabric built to satisfy strict European commercial fire safety codes
