Fire-retardant drapery fabrics have great use in a variety of ways. For example, many fire retardant fabrics provide thick, rich, elegant appearing draperies. This type of drapery tends to wear well providing long-term durability. Also, these fabrics often come in a greater selection of weaves, patterns, and textures than their counterparts of regular contract draperies for normal apartment use.
Even if you only purchase them for their more pleasing appearance, you gain the added benefit of fire protection for you and your property.
A few words of warning are in order: Be sure to only buy fire-retardant drapery fabrics that are "inherently flame-resistant or fireproof." This means the fiber itself will not sustain or continue to flame. You absolutely do not want to waste money buying a drapery fabric that has been artificially treated or one subjected to a chemical in order to make it fire retardant.
Usually, this type of treatment can easily be inadvertently lost after only one or two cleanings. The result, in this case, is that you could end up with a drapery that is no longer fire-retardant.
There are also literally dozens upon dozens of beautiful fire-retardant drapery fabrics. Again, these can often be used simply as an alternative when a nicer or more elegant drapery is needed for your apartments.
Why limit your selection with the same old tired look-alike choices of fire-retardant draperies? There are washable fire-retardant draperies, insulated ones, open weaves, closed weaves, plus many more.
