About Flame-Retardant & IFR

Inherently flame-retardant (IFR) fabric carries its fire resistance in the fiber itself rather than in an applied treatment. On the stage side that means Prism Velour, a knit IFR polyester pile offered in 15 oz and 22 oz weights at 62 inches wide, plus IFR cyc cloths for seamless backdrops and projection surfaces, IFR Richmond Blackout at 60 inches, and an IFR 3-pass foam blackout lining that builds to 100% opacity.

Most of the healthcare line runs 72 inches wide for cubicle curtains: Versailles in 100% FR polyester across ten colorways, Cirrus woven with SEAQUAL recycled polyester from marine plastic, and jacquards like Interlock, Serenity, and Stratus in 55% FR polyester blends. Crash Linen, an FR polyester dobby at 54 inches, passes NFPA 701 and holds up through repeated industrial laundering. Everything ships from a well-stocked warehouse, with zero-day lead times on many fabrics.

Why Fred Krieger Fabrics

01

Certificates on request

For certified fabrics, flame-retardant certificates covering NFPA 701, CAN/ULC-S109, and California Title 19 are supplied on request: the documentation fire marshals ask to see before a drape or cubicle curtain goes up.

02

Inherent, not topical

IFR fabric carries its flame resistance in the fiber itself, not in a topical coating. Prism Velour, Versailles, Imagine, and the IFR cyc cloths all fall on this side of the line.

03

By the yard or the bolt

We sell fabric, cut to length by the yard or as full bolts, from a well-stocked warehouse with zero-day lead times on many fabrics. Quote requests handle volume pricing and made-to-measure work.

04

Free samples and specs

Sample cards and spec sheets are free on request. Check hand, color, and weave under your own light before committing to yardage, whether that is a 22 oz velour or a 72 inch cubicle jacquard.

Common questions

Which flame-retardant certificates can you supply?

For certified fabrics we supply flame-retardant certificates on request covering NFPA 701, CAN/ULC-S109, and California Title 19. Tell us where the fabric is being installed when you order and we will include the paperwork your fire marshal needs. Not every fabric carries every certificate, so ask about the specific standard your jurisdiction enforces.

What does inherently flame retardant (IFR) mean?

Inherently flame-retardant fabric is made from fiber whose flame resistance is built into the molecular structure of the material, not applied as a topical treatment after the fabric is constructed. Versailles, for example, is built on inherently FR polyester, and the IFR cyc cloths and Prism Velour knits follow the same principle. Because the resistance lives in the fiber, it does not depend on a surface coating.

What widths and weights are available?

Widths run from 54 inches (Crash Linen) through 60 inches (IFR Richmond Blackout) and 62 inches (the velours) up to 72 inches for most healthcare jacquards and the IFR poplin cyc cloth. On weight, Prism Velour is offered in both 15 oz and 22 oz versions. Full specs ship with our free sample cards, so you can confirm hand and drape before ordering.

Can I buy fabric by the yard, or only by the full bolt?

Both. Fabric is sold cut to length by the yard or as a full bolt, whichever suits the job. For larger projects, submit a quote request: it covers volume pricing and, where needed, made-to-measure work. Because the warehouse is well stocked, many fabrics carry zero-day lead times.

Will these healthcare fabrics stand up to industrial laundering?

Fabrics in the cubicle line are engineered for healthcare use, and several are documented for institutional laundry. Crash Linen holds up through repeated industrial laundering, and Imagine is engineered for frequent high-temperature washing and rigorous disinfection protocols. Because patterns like Interlock, Stratus, and Falling Leaves are woven jacquards rather than prints, color and pattern are part of the cloth itself. Request a sample card if your facility wants to run its own wash tests.
