Fire resistant curtains?

[KeithH]

I have a trailer-sailer - and the forepeak is separated from the rest of the cabin by a curtain. The curtain needs replacing. Wife has agreed to make new curtain BUT I think that it needs to be made from fire-resitant material. The stove is not that far away ....

Does anyone know where to get fire-resistant material? (in small amts - don't want to buy a mile of it). Or, failing that, how to "fireproof" ordinary cotton?

Pity your not accepting PM's. Fire retardant curtain fabric is readily available. Its normal for the contract market. All hosps schools hotels and the like have to have it. There are products out there that will give a modicum of protection, such as Protiflam and and Pyrovotex to treat fabrics with. You could find a dry cleaners that will clean and reproff. Not many about, look in the yellow pages for industrial dry cleaners.

I had to get my curtains done for the boat safety cert.
I got then treated by a sainsburys dry cleaning department, also they issue
as cert. to say they have been done, usefull for the insurance (if they ask)
