The abbreviation FR stands for fire retardant or fire resistance of the material. This is important for decorative fabrics or upholstery fabrics, that are used in public places such as hotels, restaurants, schools, theaters etc. From a safety point of view, it is crucial that a fabric does not immediately catch fire if a fire should occur. That’s why, Design&Colors has a wide range of FR fabrics in the collection and we can give certification according to the type of process like NFPA, M1 B1 etc.
