When camouflage netting is used indoors — in theatres, film sets, exhibitions, or event venues — fire safety is essential. That’s why professional-grade nets are treated with a fire-retardant coating to meet recognised safety standards.
At Camonets.com, all of our nets are tested and certified to the required standards in the UK.
UK Fire Retardant Standard
In the UK, camouflage netting is treated to meet BS 5867 Part 2: 2008.
- This is the British Standard for flame retardancy in fabrics used in curtains, drapes, and stage materials.
- It ensures that the fabric resists ignition and slows down the spread of flames if exposed to fire.
- Compliance is vital for venues such as theatres, exhibition halls, schools, and indoor event spaces.
Why These Standards Matter
- Legal compliance – Many venues will not permit materials unless they are certified to these standards.
- Safety assurance – Fire-retardant nets provide peace of mind for crews, organisers, and audiences.
- Professional credibility – Using certified materials is expected by leading film, theatre, and event companies worldwide.
Maintaining Fire Retardant Properties
Fire-retardant coatings do not last forever. Outdoor use, repeated cleaning, and heavy wear can gradually reduce effectiveness.
To maintain compliance:
- Inspect your nets regularly if they are used in indoor venues.
- Reapply a compatible fire-retardant spray when needed.
- Always allow nets to dry fully before storing or reusing.
