B1 Fire Rated Commercial Zebra Shades

Fire safety is non-negotiable in commercial and multi-family environments. Our B1 Fire Rated Zebra Shades are engineered to meet the most stringent flame-resistance standards, including NFPA 701, NFPA 260, and California Technical Bulletin 117-2013. The fabric is woven from inherently flame-retardant polyester fibers—not topical treatments that can wash off or degrade over time. This permanent fire resistance ensures compliance with building codes and provides peace of mind for property owners, facility managers, and specifiers. Yet these shades retain all the beauty and functionality of our standard zebra shades: adjustable light control, clear views, and a wide range of colors. Available in 3-inch band width only, with a curated palette of 12 commercial-appropriate neutrals. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with continuous cord loop or motorized operation (cordless wand not available in this collection). Because safety should never be an afterthought.

Inherently Flame‑Retardant Fibers

Unlike “fire‑resistant” shades that rely on topical chemical treatments—which can wash off, off‑gas, or degrade over time—B1 shades are woven from inherently flame‑retardant polyester. The FR properties are integrated into the polymer during fiber extrusion, becoming a permanent part of the material. These fibers never lose their flame‑retardant characteristics, even after years of cleaning, UV exposure, and daily use.

Certified Compliance – All Major Standards

B1 Fire Rated Zebra Shades are independently tested and certified to meet:

  • NFPA 701 — Flame propagation of textiles and films

  • NFPA 260 — Cigarette ignition resistance for upholstered components

  • California TB 117‑2013 — Upholstered furniture flammability

  • ASTM E84 — Class A (Flame Spread ≤ 25, Smoke Developed ≤ 450)

Certification documentation is included with every order for code compliance and inspection requirements.

Ideal for Commercial & Multi‑Family Applications

B1 shades are engineered for environments where fire safety is non‑negotiable:

  • Hotels and motels

  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities

  • Senior living communities

  • Multi‑family housing (apartments, condos)

  • Schools and daycare centers

They meet stringent building codes while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
