Spraying an artificial plant with a flame-retardant solution does not make it inherently fire retardant.
When it comes to selecting artificial plants for commercial spaces, particularly in environments with strict fire safety requirements, many think they can simply add a flame-resistant spray and be covered. However, there's much more to consider. FireSilx products are designed to meet these standards from the start, making them an essential choice for anyone serious about a business's safety.
Spraying an artificial plant with a flame-retardant solution doesn't make it inherently fire-resistant. It may seem like a quick fix, but post-application treatments can wear off and require costly reapplications over time. FireSilx, on the other hand, builds fire resistance into the manufacturing process, creating plants that are inherently fire-retardant and up to global safety standards.
Why Inherent Fire-Retardant Matters
FireSilx products have been rigorously certified to meet worldwide safety standards, including BS EN 13501-1 and DIN 4102-1, which fire safety officers will be looking for. These certifications aren't just about ticking boxes; they ensure that when it counts, FireSilx products will perform as required.
Setting the Record Straight: What FireSilx Can and Can't Do
It's a myth that FireSilx products won't burn. Like any material, they will ignite if exposed directly to a flame. However, the crucial difference is that FireSilx products are designed to self-extinguish when the flame source is removed, preventing a small spark from becoming a significant hazard.
The FireSilx Advantage
In addition to safety, FireSilx offers peace of mind. With no need for repeated costly and ineffective treatments, every FireSilx product will maintain its quality appearance throughout its entire life cycle, looking lifelike and staying durable. For over 30 years, FireSilx has been the trusted choice for designers, landscapers, and merchandisers globally.
So, do you need FireSilx? If safety, quality, and compliance matter to your business, the answer is a resounding yes.
