Your fabric - back laminated with an active, non-flammable fire barrier material.
Engineered to impede or stop the process of a fire from penetrating into the foam or padding of
furniture. (Urethane upholstery foam is known as the largest fuel contributor to interior fires)
A light-weight FireBlocTM material laminated to the fabric back can help it to meet the California
Technical Bulletin 133 (Cal TB 133), the highest fire protection standard for upholstered
furniture.
Fabrics laminated with FireBlocTM become a single substrate. Furniture manufactured utilizing
laminated FireBlocTM outperform furniture manufactured using the double upholstery method
because they have:
- A single source of friction
- No air pockets
Adds strength and thickness for enhanced durability.
Most fabrics can be processed.
Environmentally friendly process (Eliminates the need to use FR urethane foam, which has been
reported to contain environmentally unfriendly chemicals and additives.)
Always use fire-retardant thread when upholstering with FireBlocTM treated materials.
Processing time is approximately 7-10 days from in-work date to packing date.
Cal TB 133 is a full scale, composite fire test for furniture manufactured to be used in public
places. It is the strictest and highest standard for all public buildings or public assembly areas.
A public assembly area is considered to be any area in a hotel or motel containing ten or more
articles of seating furniture. For more information on Cal TB 133 check with State of California
Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation,
