Curtains are one of the most important elements in the decoration of home workplaces, which directly reflect the people's lifestyle and become more important when integrated with the elements of the environment.

Vertical curtains are mostly preferred in places such as factories, offices, schools and hospitals, and in recent years in homes. Since these curtains can be collected vertically, they are suitable for large and high-façade windows. Vertical curtains, which provide the most benefit from sunlight, also provide the possibility to adjust the desired direction and light.

Although vertical curtains are available with PVC or aluminum tape, more fabric ones are preferred. Fabric vertical curtains are mostly made of polyester and sunscreen fabrics. But the most important feature of them is that they are produced from fireproof fabrics.

Particularly in workplaces, the fact that these curtains do not immediately ignite or are flammable when exposed to a small flame reduces the risk of fire.

For a fabric to burn, flammable and combustible material must be present together. The most important burner is oxygen, which is abundant in the air. As such, there is nothing that can be done for oxygen. To prevent combustion, focus is on flammable substances. Here, the non-flammability of fabrics is given by these studies. Either the yarn fibers present in the fabric of the fabric must be non-flammable, or a non-flammable finish between the finishing operations of the fabric.

Authorized laboratories, In the case of vertically placed fabrics and fabric combinations, the following procedure is applied for fireproof tests with a small flame application:

• BS 5438 Test methods for flammability of textile fabrics when exposed to small firing flame applied to the face or bottom edge of vertically oriented samples
