Statistically, there are around 167,000 fire incidents in the UK every year. Stopping fires from quickly spreading is hugely important, and when it comes to artificial trees, we are committed to providing the safest possible products.
That's why we recommend that these specially treated, inherently flame-retardant products are designed to help prevent the spread of fire, thus giving you and your guests peace of mind while enjoying whatever services your premises offer.
What difference can FireSilx make to fire safety?
Sadly, significant fires in public spaces are more common than any of us would like. Along with other safety features, it has never been more important to consider every aspect of fire safety, mainly how the spread of fire can be slowed down. For the above reasons, fake planting is an obvious candidate for scrutiny. Thanks to FireSilx, architects, interior designers & business owners can readily conform to the highest fire safety standards when dealing with indoor plants and trees.
With natural plants and trees, a fire can spread rapidly, just as it would in the wild, but with FireSilx foliage, instead of spreading, the initial flame will be extinguished in just 10 seconds! Not only does this provide a safe environment, but it also massively limits potential damage to your premises.
Lifetime guarantee and international standards.
All FireSilx trees, plants and foliage are exhaustively tested, ensuring that they meet the highest worldwide FR standards, and with the fireproof element guaranteed for life, they will never require reproofing.
FireSilx continually evaluates its adhesion to global FR requirements, for example, recently adding DIN 4102 Part 1 (the standard in Germany) to its testing spectrum.
Safety, not compromise.
Such is the quality of these IFR products that most folks would never recognise them as artificial items, providing the WOW factor you desire without compromising on standards.
FireSilx products are inherently fire retardant, but they don't use sprays or dips post-manufacture, so no oily, greasy, or sticky film that would impair the look and attract unwanted dust. Instead, they are produced by adding fire-resistant materials and chemicals during manufacturing.
