Flameproofing Explained

What Is Flameproofing, And Why Toronto Venues Need It

Flameproofing is the application of a Health Canada-approved flame retardant chemical to drapery, curtains, decorative fabrics, artificial plants and other combustible decorations. Treated textiles self-extinguish when an ignition source is removed, dramatically slowing fire spread in commercial occupancies.

Ontario Fire Code (O. Reg. 213/07) requires flame retardant treatment for textiles in hotels, restaurants, theatres, banquet halls, schools, daycares and most other places of assembly. NFPA 701 is the recognized test standard, and inspectors will specifically ask for a current NFPA 701 compliance certificate.

Fines for non-compliance can reach $25,000 per violation, plus immediate venue closure until compliance is restored. Most treatments last 2-3 years before re-application is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is flameproofing and who needs it in Toronto? +
Flameproofing is the application of a flame retardant chemical treatment to drapery, curtains, stage curtains, decorations, artificial plants and other combustible textiles. In Toronto and throughout Ontario, the Ontario Fire Code requires flame retardant treatment for textiles used in places of assembly (hotels, restaurants, theatres, banquet halls, event venues, schools and daycares). Treatment must be certified to NFPA 701 standards and renewed periodically.
Is flameproofing required by Ontario law? +
Yes. The Ontario Fire Code (O. Reg. 213/07) requires drapery and decorative textiles in places of assembly, hotels, healthcare facilities, daycares and similar occupancies to be either inherently flame resistant or treated with an approved flame retardant. Failure to comply can result in fines up to $25,000 per violation and immediate closure of the venue until compliance is restored.
What is NFPA 701 and why does it matter? +
NFPA 701 is the National Fire Protection Association's standard test for flame propagation of textiles and films. It is the testing standard fire inspectors in Toronto and across Ontario use to verify drapery and textile compliance. Our treatments are certified to this standard, and every job receives a written NFPA 701 compliance certificate.
Do you provide a written flame retardant certificate? +
Yes — every flameproofing job includes a written NFPA 701 compliance certificate. The certificate includes the date of treatment, location treated, items treated, product used, technician signature and a unique certificate number. Most certificates are valid for 2-3 years depending on fabric, environment and use.
How long does flame retardant treatment last? +
Most professional flame retardant treatments remain effective for 2-3 years on indoor textiles in low-traffic areas. Heavy-use stage curtains, frequently cleaned drapery, or textiles exposed to humidity may need re-treatment annually. We schedule renewal reminders and provide bulk-treatment pricing for venues with annual cycles.
Can you do same-day emergency flameproofing? +
Yes — we offer same-day emergency flameproofing service in Toronto and the GTA for venues facing imminent fire inspections, failed inspections, or last-minute event setups. Call (416) 845-3473 directly for emergency dispatch. Treatment dries within hours and certificates are issued the same day.
What fabrics can be flameproofed? +
We treat virtually all natural and synthetic textiles: cotton, linen, silk, velvet, polyester, nylon, acrylic, jute and burlap. We also flameproof artificial plants, plastic decorations, wood (with penetrating treatments), and decorative paper. Some fabrics — like fibreglass and certain inherently flame resistant materials — do not need treatment, and we'll confirm during free inspection.
Do you service all GTA cities? +
Yes — we provide flameproofing and drapery services across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Newmarket, Aurora, Milton and Hamilton. Same-day service is available across all of these cities.
