What makes a curtain flame retardant?
We work hard to ensure our flame retardant curtains meet the NFPA 701 standards. Bear the standards in mind, and we make flame-retardant curtains in two ways.
One way is flame-resistant fabric. We select carefully woven fabrics with flame-resistant yarns to ensure the material can shield against flames.
Another way is fabric treatment. The fabric is not necessarily flame retardant. Mix flame retardant powders with water and soak the fabric into the finish. It helps curb fires from spreading.
What is the difference between flame resistant and retardant curtains?
There are mainly three main differences.
1. Property
Flame-resistant curtains use flame-retardant yarns to get the property, while flame-retardant curtains treat the fabric with a flame-retardant finish.
2. Washable
Flame-resistant curtains are washable due to permanent flame retardant.
Flame retardant curtains are made with flame retardant addition. We don’t recommend you wash them.
3. Pricing
Flame-resistant curtains require higher material costs and better craftsmanship. The pricing can be expensive.
Flame retardant curtains, made of any material, are always at accessible prices.
How do I know if my curtains are flame-retardant?
To determine if your curtains are flame-retardant, you can refer to the product information provided by Curtarra.

If you cannot find this information or are unsure, please reach out to Curtarra customer support for specific details about the flame-retardancy of your curtains.
How to choose curtains for public spaces?
Unlike living spaces, public spaces are expected to have higher traffic and more public privacy or safety concerns.
1. Durability: Pick curtains made from durable, heavy fibers or fabric blends to withstand frequent public use.
2. Light-blocking: Opt for curtains for public spaces with light-blocking features to provide privacy.
3. Fire Retardant: You’ll want the curtains for public spaces to meet the fire safety standard to contain unwanted fire or smoke.
