∎ FR = Flame Retardant. Chemicals applied as spray. Short-lived treatment that must be renewed. (Typ of cotton velour)

Considerations for Fabric

“Putting it Together” Concert Hall Research Group 2014

∎ DFR= Durably Flame Retardant. Chemical treatments acid-infused into the fabric. Longer-lived, but not permanent. (Typ of wool serge)

∎ IFR= Inherently Flame Retardant. Fabric is certified “off the bolt,” but subject to environmental compromise in situ. (Typ of polyester velour)

Maintaining IFR Polyester Drapes

∎ Polyesters (petroleum product) designed to suppress and “run” from flame

∎ Build-up of dust and particulates encourages flame

∎ Drapes built NAP UP trap more dust

∎ Laundering drapes best maintains FR properties

∎ Shaking, beating and vacuuming helpful - but not foolproof
