Wherever curtains, drapes, carpets or soft furnishings meet the public, fire safety compliance follows. Here's how the programme applies across sectors.
Curtains, upholstery, bedding runners, function‑room drapes and carpets across a property — treated on a schedule tied to housekeeping and refurbishment cycles, with group‑wide rates for multi‑property portfolios. Documented, ongoing compliance rather than a single certificate.
Weddings, exhibitions, trade fairs, festivals and indoor/outdoor stages typically require documented fire safety measures for draping, polyester printed banners and set dressing. Sapphire can treat hired or venue‑owned soft furnishings ahead of an event, aligned with SANS 10366.
Halls, auditoriums, stage curtains and assembly‑area soft furnishings in public‑occupancy buildings, where fire safety obligations for internal finishes apply under SANS 10400 Part T.
Ward curtains, waiting‑area upholstery and communal soft furnishings in high‑occupancy healthcare buildings, where flammability of internal finishes is closely scrutinised.
Stage curtains, backdrops, wooden stage and film set elements, and rigged draping — treated to reduce ignition and flame spread risk from stage lighting, pyrotechnics and open‑flame effects.
Carpets, sofas, foam mattresses, curtains and raffia or thatch elements (in dry areas) for offices, retail and residential properties seeking insurance compliance or simple peace of mind.
Insurers and fire consultants increasingly ask for documented, tested evidence that soft furnishings have been treated to slow ignition and flame spread — not just a verbal assurance. Our FIRELAB SANS 10177‑9 test report and treatment documentation are built to go straight into your fire safety file.
