Custom M1 Fire Retardant Curtains for Professionals.
Kurtens est un fabricant de rideaux ignifugés sur mesure qui combine la certification M1 ou M2 avec des performances techniques à la carte : occultation, isolation thermique, atténuation sonore. La plupart des fournisseurs de rideaux ignifugés proposent un rideau anti feu qui ne fait que résister au feu. Kurtens produit un rideau anti feu qui occulte, isole et protege, fabriqué selon votre cahier des charges.
A classic fire-retardant curtain is an M1 or M2 certified fabric sold in standard sizes, without additional technical performance. It blocks flames, but it doesn't block noise, cold, or light.
Kurtens manufactures a single fire-retardant curtain that combines fire certification with the performance defined by your specifications. Our production capabilities allow us to integrate blackout, thermal insulation, and sound attenuation into an M1 or M2 certified curtain, produced to the exact dimensions of each window.

Hotel rooms and nursing home rooms share a common need: total darkness for sleep. A Kurtens blackout flame-retardant curtain combines fire rating compliance with blackout, in a single panel made to the exact dimensions of the window. For establishments in urban areas, sound attenuation can be added to the configuration.
Open-plan offices, dining rooms, and community buildings have different constraints: ambient noise reduction, thermal insulation to reduce energy costs, and regulatory compliance depending on the space concerned. Kurtens produces fire-resistant curtains for public buildings and fire-retardant curtains for each type of professional space, with performance adapted to the actual use of the premises.
The mandatory fire rating for curtains depends on the space within the establishment, not on the type of ERP (establishment open to the public). Enclosed stairwells and stage curtains require M1 rating. Corridors, halls, and rooms larger than 50 m² require M2 rating. Rooms smaller than 50 m² have no regulatory requirement, but insurers and hotel chains may impose it contractually.
For complete details by space and ERP type, consult our regulatory guides:
Chemical treatment is cheaper to buy but degrades with washing (loss of classification after 10 to 15 washes). Intrinsic fiber retains its classification permanently. The choice depends on the washing frequency of your establishment. Kurtens offers both options, discussed during the quote.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kurtens Flame Retardant Curtains.
Why combine M1 and technical performance in a single curtain?
Stacking a fire curtain, a blackout curtain, and a thermal curtain on the same window triples the cost, complicates maintenance, and adds weight to the curtain rod. A Kurtens fire-rated curtain integrates fire certification and technical performance into a single panel, custom-made to exact dimensions. Fewer curtains per window, a single supplier, and easier maintenance.
How to tell if a curtain is truly fire-retardant?
A fire-retardant curtain must be accompanied by a fire rating report. Without this document, the curtain is not considered compliant by the safety commission. Kurtens provides the fire rating report with every order.
What is the cost of a made-to-measure fire-retardant curtain with technical performance features?
The price depends on the dimensions, volume, integrated performance, and type of fireproofing (treatment or intrinsic). Request a quote for an accurate estimate within 24 hours.
What is the lifespan of a fire-retardant curtain?
A flame-retardant curtain treated with chemicals retains its classification for 10 to 15 washes. A curtain made of inherently flame-retardant fiber retains its classification permanently. Details can be found in our article maintenance and retention of M1 classification.
