Fires spread QUCKLY - It takes 3 minutes for a manageable fire to turn into something that is dangerous and fast-moving.


You can help keep fires from spreading quickly by having your curtains and upholsteries treated with a fire-retardant solution. Fire-retarding curtain fabric dramatically slows the progress of the flame. We spray on a solution that helps prevent the fire from catching onto the curtains and igniting them, allowing the flame to travel upwards quickly.


The 2016 Building regulations now require curtains in ANY public space (such as a restaurant, school, hall) to have fire retardant curtains.


Our solution is quick to apply, odourless, can be applied on site, good for natural and synthetic materials, and we provide a 5 year Certificate of Compliance for AS 1530 Part 2 (the Australian & NZ standard for flame-retardant fabrics for use in curtains and drapes).
Call us on 0800 579 0501 to find out more.

Lung scarring - what is it and what can you do about it?

Naturally Healthy

If our lungs are suffering from damage, inflammation or infection, our lung tissue may be stiff and scarred, and airways filled with mucus. This makes it difficult for the lungs to expand and contract, meaning breathing is harder and the oxygen we take in can be less.

If our lungs are suffering from damage, inflammation or infection, our lung tissue may be stiff and scarred, and airways filled with mucus. This makes it difficult for the lungs to expand and contract, meaning breathing is harder and the oxygen we take in can be less.
Fortunately, our lungs are the first out of any of our body’s organs to receive the benefits of consumed and absorbed bioactives (after our liver). This means that consumption of powerful bioactives will result in benefits to the lungs early.

To ensure you start your project off with the right foundations, you need to be selecting a fabric that is most suited to its purpose.

There are various textile constructions/qualities that fall within five fabric “types” we describe in an earlier article. In this two-part article we will discuss the most commonly manufactured constructions that you see in the market today.

DAMASK: Damasks are traditional jacquard fabrics, which were originally woven in a single colour, where the design and ground are in contrasting weaves, (generally using warp-faced and weft-faced satin weaves).

CHINTZ: Chintz is a closely woven plain fabric, traditionally cotton, with a shiny and lustrous appearance. The fabric is processed with a glazed or calendared finish to give it a polished look.

FELT: Felt is matted fabric with a predominantly woollen composition. There are two types of felt, woven and un-woven. Felting of woven wool fabric is achieved by interlocking the natural scales on the surface of wool fibres through heat, moisture, steam, pressure and friction.

FIL COUPÉ: A small jacquard pattern on a lightweight fabric, in which the fil/weft threads connecting each pattern/motif are cut and removed from the reverse of the fabric leaving the remaining pattern/motif with frayed edges.

FAUX-LEATHER (VINYL): Polyvinyl chloride (commonly abbreviated as PVC or referred to as vinyl) is the third-most widely produced polymer after polyethylene and polypropylene. It should not be washed with cleaning solvents, but more specifically only a mixture of gentle soap and warm water.
