Ensuring Fire Safety Compliance Blinds with Your Visiontex® Outdoor Blind Products

At Diamond Blinds, your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. We know how important it is for our customers to feel confident that the external blinds and awnings they select not only enhance their space but also meet stringent fire safety standards.

If you’ve chosen Visiontex® products, here’s what you need to know about their fire safety compliance and how we can help you stay aligned with the latest regulations.

Visiontex® and Fire Safety

Visiontex® is a premium outdoor fabric known for its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. However, when it comes to multi-level buildings or structures classified as Class 2–9 under the National Construction Code (NCC), compliance with fire safety standards is essential.

Recent updates to the NCC restrict the installation of external blinds or awnings on certain buildings unless they meet specific fire safety criteria. This includes ensuring the materials used are fire-resistant and designed to prevent the spread of flames.

How Visiontex® Stands Up to the Test

Visiontex® fabrics are designed with fire safety in mind and are often engineered to meet or exceed the flammability requirements outlined in the NCC. To ensure your installation is compliant:

1. Material Certification: Check that your Visiontex® product has been tested and certified to meet fire safety indices for flammability, smoke, and spread of flame.

2. Non-Combustible Components: Pair your Visiontex® fabric with non-combustible frames and fittings for added safety.

3. Proper Installation: Install the blinds with features like headboxes or cassettes to protect the fabric, while maintaining required clearances between storeys or fire-prone features.

At Diamond Blinds, we’re here to help you navigate these technical details, ensuring your installation complies with all relevant standards.

Why Compliance Matters

Fire safety regulations are in place to protect building occupants and surrounding structures. Non-compliant blinds or awnings can pose a risk in the event of a fire, potentially contributing to its spread. By choosing Visiontex® products and working with experts like Diamond Blinds, you can rest assured that your home or building meets the highest safety standards.
