Texfire offers its customers the chance of tailoring custom-made fire resistant carpets according to the dimensions or drawing provided by clients. The maximum size we can tailor is up 150 cm wide per 10 meters long. In addition, carpets can be tailored basing in two flame retardant fabrics, depending on whether the carpet will have an indoor (chimneys) or outdoor (barbecues) use. This carpet is sewn with meta-aramid fire resistant thread and finished with a reinforcement bias in all its perimeter.
Texfire also can tailor fire resistant carpets in special shapes, like, for instance, in an “L” or a “U” shape. In order to trade this kind of carpets, it is necessary to send a dimensioned drawing to info@texfire.net and our sales department will get in contact with the customer.
Custom-made fire resistant carpets for indoor use are suitable to protect wooden floors, parquet, laminate, or stoneware floors. The used fabric is WELD SX, a multi-layered fabric composed by an E-Glass fibreglass fabric with a black silicone finishing for high temperatures which is able to contain sparks, embers, or ashes. The inferior side incorporates a plush-type fabric that performs as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transference notably.
Tailor-made fire resistant carpets food outdoor use are tailored with WELS2 fabric. A fabric composed by fibreglass and a silicone coating for high temperatures on both sides. This fabric is waterproof and can be used on both sides. This type of carpets are designed to protect stone floors, stoneware, or grass (not artificial grass).
Texfire recommends removing incandescent fragments that fall on top of the carpet as soon as possible, since a very long exposition will not prevent heat transference, and may harm the floor.
The fabric used in its manufacturing achieves the EN ISO 13501-1 certification in 2023 - Classification based on the fire behavior of construction products and building elements – attaining the A2 s1 d0 and B s1 d0 results. Additionally, WELD SX and WELS2 fabrics are certified in 2020 with regulation UNE 23727 - Reaction to fire of building materials -. WELD SX obtains an M2 classification and WELS2 an M1 classification. They also meet regulation EN ISO 9150 - Behaviour of materials about the impact of small melted metal splashes - obtaining a Class 2 classification in the case of WELD SX fabric and a Class 1 classification in WELS2 fabric.
