If you're furnishing a hotel, you’ll know safety is as important as style. One of those seemingly small details that often gets overlooked is the type of fabric used for curtains. In the hospitality sector, where regulations are strict, flame-retardant curtains are vital for hotels. At Drapes UK, we’ve been helping the trade get it right since 1986.
Why Flame Retardant Curtains Are Vital in Hotels
Fire safety regulations in the UK are clear that all furnishing and fabrics used in public buildings, including hotels, must meet the strictest fire safety standards. This includes BS 5867 Part 2 Type B or C for curtain fabrics.
Flame retardant curtains are designed to slow down or stop the spread of fire, offering more time to evacuate and reducing the risk of severe damage.
Whether you run a boutique B&B or a large hotel chain, installing certified flame retardant curtains is a legal and ethical necessity. Ignoring compliance can result in fines, legal consequences, and worst of all, risks to people’s lives.

With nearly 40 years of experience and a workroom based in Nottingham staffed by over 50 skilled operators, Drapes UK is a leading supplier to the trade.
