PROTECTIVE FIRE RATED CARPETS
Comfort and safety should be the first priority in interior decor. Recent technological developments have enabled us to provide extra protection and care to our valued customers by introducing Fire Rated Carpets. These carpets effectively resist fire and reduce the possibility of an accident. At carpettilesdubai.ae, we proudly present a wide collection of durable and Fire Resistant Carpets.
Different carpets offer varied level of fire resistant action. So if safety is your prime concern, you must consider fire resistant properties of a carpet before buying it. A carpet can catch fire in blink of an eye. You cannot negate the importance of a Fire Resistant Carpet, especially if you are a smoker or you have little kids at home. You will not be surprised to know that a large number of accidents are caused by smokers’ accidently setting their carpets on fire at home. Choosing a Fire Resistant Carpet can prevent you from such misfortunes.
RECENT FIRE RETARDANT TECHNOLOGIES
These days, two technologies are specifically getting attention of companies dealing with Fire Rated Carpets.
- Hybridization:
One interesting way of incorporating novel properties to the carpets is by hybridizing the traditionally used natural fiber of carpets with some intelligent synthetic fibers making them more effective floor coverings.
- Protective Finish
Another method to enhance fire resistant attributes of a carpet is to apply a finishing solution to the material. This is a revolutionary method we are employing to develop fire resistance properties to our product range. The chemical resins applied to the surface during the manufacturing of the carpets prevent and retard combustion process.
The typical composition of these additives include:
- Aluminium Hydroxides
- Carbonates
- Hydrates
These chemicals limit and gradually reduce the temperature.
Chemical Treatment Methods
The chemical resin is applied in the form of a vapor or a condensed liquid, according to the degree of flame resistant action required.
- Condensed Liquid Treatment
The condensed liquid treatment creates a barrier between the ignited portion and the unaffected part of the carpet through a process called “Thermal Shielding” and prevent the spreading of fire.
- Vapor Application Process
The application of vapors reduces the concentration of combustible gas that support ignition process by releasing water or other gases like carbon dioxide. The dilution of combustible gases hinders ignition process.
