》Fire-retardant or fire-resistant? We explain the difference!《
All these terms and designations for fire protections classes can be confusing. We will give you an overview of relevant fire safety laws and explain what exactly it means when a folding gazebo is fire-retardant (also called flame-retardant) or fire-resistant (also called non-combustible).
🔥 Flame-retardant is the term used to describe materials that can withstand fire for approximately 30 minutes, it is also referred to as fire-retardant. Components of these materials may be combustible. They include, for example, synthetic resins, wood wool, chipboard, parquet flooring and our standard textiles for folding gazebos.
🔥 Fire-resistant on the other hand, means that the materials are resistant to fire for a significantly longer period of time (90 min. and more for highly fire-resistant materials), they are also referred to as non-combustible. These materials have no combustible components. They include metallic building materials, stone, bricks, concrete, as well as the fibreglass fabric of our Kitchen Tent.
Whether you would like to host a party or use a folding gazebo professionally, the safety of guests and all people involved is of highest importance.
Therefore, do not hesitate and make sure that everyone finds a safe place under a reliable and high-quality folding gazebo. In this case saving money is not worth it!
