Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Retardant Treatments
What is fire retardant treatment for fabrics?
Fire retardant treatment is a specialized process where we apply professional-grade fire-resistant solutions to fabrics and textiles. The treatment chemically alters the material's reaction to fire, preventing rapid flame spread and reducing fire hazards. Our solutions penetrate the fabric fibers and create a protective barrier that activates when exposed to heat, helping to prevent ignition and slow combustion.
Which fabrics can be treated?
We successfully treat most commercial and residential fabrics, including natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk and synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon. Our treatments work effectively on curtains, drapes, upholstery, and decorative textiles. Mixed-fiber fabrics also respond well to our professional treatment methods, and we maintain specific treatment protocols for each fabric type to ensure optimal results.
Will the treatment affect the appearance of my fabrics?
Our professional-grade treatments are formulated to maintain your fabric's original appearance and texture. The solution dries clear and leaves no residue, stains, or discoloration. We carefully control the application process to ensure even coverage without affecting the material's drape, feel, or color. After treatment, you won't notice any visual difference in your fabrics.
How long does the treatment last?
Under normal conditions, our fire retardant treatments remain effective for 1-2 years, depending on the fabric type and environmental factors. Heavy use, frequent cleaning, or exposure to direct sunlight may reduce this duration. We provide detailed care instructions to maximize treatment longevity and offer a monitoring service to track when your fabrics need retreatment to maintain compliance.
Can you treat ready-made curtains?
Yes, we routinely treat ready-made curtains both on-site and at our facility. Our treatment works effectively whether the curtains are already hung or newly purchased. We take special precautions to protect surrounding areas during treatment for installed curtains. We can also coordinate with your schedule to treat new curtains before installation.
Why should I get my fabrics treated?
Fire retardant treatment is essential for safety and legal compliance in commercial spaces. FDNY regulations require specific materials to be flame-resistant in public spaces, hotels, theaters, and other commercial venues. Beyond compliance, treated fabrics provide crucial extra minutes for evacuation in case of fire, protecting property and lives through reduced flame spread rates.
Are there any fabrics that cannot be treated?
While most fabrics respond well to treatment, certain specialty materials with heavy coatings, plasticized surfaces, or specific synthetic blends may not achieve optimal results. We always conduct preliminary testing on unfamiliar materials to ensure treatment effectiveness. If we determine a fabric isn't suitable for treatment, we'll recommend alternative solutions or fabric replacements that meet safety requirements.
How quickly can you complete large projects?
Our experienced teams can handle large-scale projects efficiently and quickly. We typically complete most commercial projects within 24-48 hours, depending on the volume and complexity of materials. We offer expedited service for urgent needs and can mobilize multiple teams to meet tight deadlines. We'll provide a detailed timeline during an initial consultation and coordinate the work schedule to minimize disruption to your operations.

In this video New York Soundproofing demonstrates the dramatic difference before - and after - installing our acoustic panels. This acoustic treatment project was at the Galaxy Visuals video studio - a state-of-the-art video studio in Brooklyn, NY.
The video room was turned from acoustically unusable to sounding exceptional!
When our clients moved into the space, there was so much echo they couldn't do any video shoots with decent sound, or even understand each other speak.
New York Soundproofing to the rescue! We installed acoustic panels that matched the space and could fit in an area that is outside of the camera frame for a fantastic result. This is only one example of many where we transform an unusable space into a great-sounding room fit for recording, listening and more.
Contact us today to see how we can help transform your space! (Also see Galaxy's client testimonial video below).
