Re: Fire Retardant Products
For the approximately 30%* of us who become ill when exposed to
chemicals/gasses from fragrances, as well as chemicals used in fire
retardant textiles, I suggest looking into off-gassing for fire retardant
curtains and consumer applied retardant treatments. Off-gassing is done by
leaving things hanging in well ventilated areas, away from people. You
might not have control over how to shorten the time for off-gassing,
especially if it isn't done before hanging them in a closed building with
little air circulation, but it would be good for the building owners to
know. Fire retardant chemicals applied by the consumer, post productiom
would need more time to off-gass.
*Most people who become ill when exposed to chemicals in synthetic
fragrances and industrial chemicals don't say anything about it, and you
can't tell by looking at us. A few governmental regional surveys and other
studies suggest about 30% of the population has health issues with
fragrances and industrial chemicals. Search "prevalence of fragrance
sensitivity".

Hi Chrissy,
I don’t know about the sound dampening part, but for schools we use this
to make any curtains fire retardant, maybe it could help you treat the
curtains you find-

I am hoping some of you will have suggestions and recommendations for me.
(including where else to send this query) Note that I'm also trying to
figure out how to sign up for the Trad Sound SharedWeight list.
*My question:*
Where would you buy decent quality fire resistant window curtains to
dampen sound and improve acoustics? (What vendors do you recommend?)
*Back story:*
Our first Friday dance series moved to a new venue when we started up
again in November 2022. The hall is visually appealing, with a high
ceiling made of tin, large windows on three sides of the hall, gorgeous
hardwood floor, and incredibly welcoming venue owners. But it has VERY
"live" acoustics, which are * really *challenging.
The venue owners removed the curtains when they got their windows
replaced. For several months, they've been looking for fire resistant
window curtains for the large windows on all sides of the hall. We'd love
for those curtains to also be really good at dampening sound (thus
improving acoustics.)
My internet searches are inconclusive so far. I'd love to have some
suggestions for reputable sources that will serve our needs, offer a
well-made window curtain product that's functional and aesthetically
pleasing.
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
Cheers,
Chrissy
