The FDNY enforces regulations that require materials used for artistic (decorative) enhancements in public buildings be flameproofed if made of combustible materials. Businesses operating in public buildings such as hotels, theaters, department stores, restaurants, nightclubs, etc. are required to follow these regulations. Flameproofing natural fibers in these buildings will protect your business.
Costikyan holds a Certificate of Fitness for Flameproofing from the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY) to apply flame retardant chemicals and issue flameproofing affidavits. Flameproofing can be done on-site for certain materials or in our warehouse prior to delivery and installation. Flameproofing is done to prevent materials such as curtains, rugs, and carpets from combustion. Such decorative pieces made from natural fibers are either coated or soaked in a fire-resistant chemical. We use non-toxic chemicals approved by the Board of Standards and Appeals and the Health Department for safety, effectiveness, and biodegradability.
