Protect Your Workplace with Certified Fire-Retardant PVC Strip Curtains

Fire safety is a critical consideration in industrial, commercial, and food production environments. Whether you operate a warehouse, manufacturing facility, cold storage unit, or commercial kitchen, complying with fire safety regulations isn't optional—it's essential.

At Strip Curtains Direct, we offer B-S3-D0 certified fire-retardant PVC strip curtains, specifically formulated to provide enhanced fire protection while preserving the visibility, airflow, and energy efficiency you rely on.

Understanding the Fire Safety Benefits of Our PVC Strip Curtains

While standard PVC materials typically have some self-extinguishing properties, our fire-retardant PVC strips offer significantly higher performance, as evidenced by their certified B-S3-D0 rating, the highest possible rating for PVC materials.

Here's what that rating means for your facility:

Fire Performance Rating: B-S3-D0 Explained

The European standard BS EN 13501-1 assesses fire performance based on three critical parameters:

• B (Reaction to Fire) - Indicates the material is combustible (as all PVC is combustible), but our special formulation ensures it has a very limited contribution to fire spread, significantly enhancing workplace safety.
• S3 (Smoke Generated) - Measures smoke emission intensity during combustion. PVC generally produces substantial smoke, and our rating transparently acknowledges that our PVC curtains will have higher smoke generation levels. However, the slowed combustion rate of our fire-retardant formulation helps reduce overall risks.
• D0 (Burning Droplets) - Assesses if burning droplets or particles occur during combustion. Our fire-retardant PVC achieves D0 status, meaning it produces no burning droplets or particles, effectively minimising secondary fire risks, skin burns, and further fire spread.

Key Benefits of Our Fire-Retardant PVC Strip Curtains

• Superior Fire Protection – Significantly reduces the speed and extent of fire spread compared to standard PVC curtains.
• Compliance and Certification – Fully tested and compliant with BS EN 13501-1 B-S3-D0 standards, ensuring regulatory adherence and safety confidence.
• Energy Efficiency & Temperature Control – Maintains operational efficiency by minimising heat loss and preserving consistent temperature control in industrial environments.
• Enhanced Workplace Visibility and Safety – Maintains clear sightlines, reduces accidents, and improves safe access and workflow, without compromising fire safety.
