When Safety meets Design - TREVIRA CS -
Textiles that satisfy international fire standards are an absolute must in the hotel sector thus putting a special challenge to hotel designers and interior decorators . They have to respect the fire regulations and at the same time create a stylish interior that has to fulfil design guidelines and distinctive individual requirements .
Trevira CS fabrics meet the important fire safety standards that have been defined worldwide and stand out for their permanently flame retardant qualities . It is the built-in safety which makes the difference . In contrast with other fibers and textiles which owe their flame retardant properties to a finish that must be replaced after washing or cleaning , Trevira CS provides permanent safety which cannot be reduced by use , cleaning or ageing . This is due to the chemical structure of the polyester fiber : the flame-retardant properties are firmly anchored in the fiber and cannot be altered by external influences . Trevira CS fabrics can come in 3 different versions :
Trevira CS stands for fabrics made from 100 % virgin flame retardant Trevira ® material .
Trevira CS flex marks fabrics with additional functions and design elements . These can be achieved by using special flame retardant yarns , lending them sound absorbing properties or melange effects , to name just two of the broad range of variations . The fabrics may contain up to 25 % of such non-Trevira ® yarns .
The Trevira CS eco brand stands for flame retardant textiles with at least 50 % recycled material content obtained in either pre-consumer or post-consumer recycling processes . These flame retardant , recycled Trevira ® products are GRS ( Global Recycled Standard ) certified .
Due to their inherently flame retardant properties , Trevira CS fabrics create a safe , attractive and comfortable environment for hotels , restaurants , hospitals , offices , public buildings , railways , aircrafts and cruise ships . A wide range of Trevira CS collections with thousands of designs is available worldwide . The fabrics are used as curtains , drapes , decorative and upholstery fabrics , in interior sun protection and as wall coverings or room dividers .
