Fire-retardant
drapery fabrics have great
use in a variaty 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.
Finally, even if you only purchase them
for their more pleasing appearance, you gain the
added benefit of fire protection for both your tenants
and your property.
A few words of warning are in order,
however. First, 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 you could end up with
a drapery that is no longer fire-retardant.
Second, there are 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. Back to Articles |
