Inherently Fire Retardant Event & Show Skirting, Tablecloths & Drapes

More and more cities, municipalities and public venues, especially convention centers are requiring that table covers, table skirts and drapes at exhibitor booths are fire retardant. Some only require that the textiles be flame resistant which can be achieved by chemically treated the fabric and passing the National Fire Prevention Association 701 test criteria. Others require the linens, skirting, and drapes to be Inherently Fire Retardant, also known as Inherently Flame Retardant. It is abbreviated and sometimes referred to as IFR. This means the product has been woven, manufactured from fibers that do not support igniting. IFR is the highest level of fire safety of the two. Unlike flame-resistant textile products that are treated and the treatment dissipate with washing or dry cleaning, washing IFR products does not wash away fire suppression qualities. This is also the reason that linens that are only flame resistant have to be retested where IFR linens which are permanently fire retardant do not need to be retested.

We have a variety of IFR skirting, drapes, and tablecloths to choose from for your upcoming event. We have custom sized IRF stage skirting, for those larger events. As well as IFR drapes that work perfectly for weddings, tradeshows, school dances, and more. We understand that safety is of the utmost priority for any event, and IFR linens are something that should be considered whether it is required for the area or not.
