fire barrier fabric
Adding fire barrier fabric to a furniture or mattress project is one of the simplest ways to help slow flame spread before it reaches foam and batting. Installed between the cover fabric and the filling, this hidden layer helps protect the materials that burn fastest without changing the look or feel of your finished piece.
Where Fire Barrier Fabric Is Used
- Upholstery: an upholstery fire barrier for sofas, headboards, and banquette seating
- Mattresses and cushions: a mattress fire barrier wrapped around foam cores
- Commercial interiors: seating for restaurants, hotels, RVs, and boats
What to Look For
Fiber and Construction
A flame resistant interliner is typically made from inherently flame resistant fabric fibers or fire retardant fabric blends, in woven, knit, or nonwoven forms. Knit and stretch barriers conform easily to curved foam, while nonwoven sheets work well as a fire resistant liner for flat panels.
Weight and Testing
Choose a weight that suits your project, and check each listing for the flammability standard it has been tested to, especially for contract or code-regulated work.
