Restaurant curtains often consist of cotton, linen, polyester blends, or other light textiles selected primarily for their looks. Such fabrics are highly flammable when coming into contact with an open flame, excessive heat, or even sparks. After a fire starts, the flames may quickly cover the entire length of the fabric, thereby raising the risk of fire spreading to the surroundings.

1. Location changes the level of risk

It is quite common that curtains are positioned right next to windows, decorative lights, candles, portable heaters, or kitchen doors. At open kitchen restaurants, not only the heat but also the occasional grease particles may end up on the fabrics. When compared to stone, tile, or metal surfaces, this location makes the fabric even more likely to catch fire by accident. The Fire Retardant Company In Dubai gives extra protection with a special coating to these curtains.

2.     Air flow helps the fire to spread

Restaurant ventilation systems, ceiling fans, and air-conditioning units provide a comfortable environment for guests. However, in case of fire, the moving air can cause curtain fabrics to flutter, and this may allow the flames to travel over a larger area of the fabric. Moreover, large enough curtains might even carry fire upwards towards the ceiling or nearby decorative elements. Fire Retardant Spray for Curtains in Dubai is the best solution against this fire risk.

3.     Extra risk with dust

Curtains inevitably collect dust in active dining spaces. These deposits can make fabrics more combustible in case the cleaning routines are neglected. Besides laundering regularly, there are also Fire Retardant Spray for Curtains UAE that can minimize this build-up and contribute to a safer restaurant environment.

4.     Decorative appeal sometimes outweighs safety

It's very common for interior design to give thanks to the fire performance as a minor consideration. Therefore, fire performance is usually given less importance. This is the reason why it is not uncommon to come across restaurants with beautiful decorative fabrics that have not been treated, and the owners have no knowledge of and disregard fire resistance standards.
