Commercial interiors such as offices, schools, universities, cinema, auditoria, bars, restaurants and healthcare are all covered by additional standards and requirements that exceed the performance requirements of fabrics for domestic interiors.
ILIV Contract Fabrics are both beautiful and extremely “hard working” to ensure they comply with standards and requirements around the world. And of course you can use them in the most luxurious of residences too…
Or as they are known in the fabric industry "FR". ILIV and our parent company SMD began over 30 years ago, by perfecting our fibres with Inherent Fire-Retardant characteristics (IFR), a quality that is embedded in the molecular structure of the fibre and will therefore never diminish.
Following years of scientific development, engineering and testing, SMD created Fire-Retardant fabrics that look and feel natural and are always continuously, tested and assessed for your peace of mind.
But an ILIV contract fabric isn't just "FR"...
No one wants another ordinary fabric collection. You need a range that captures attention, inspires choice and creates impact. That’s why we create trend-led fabric designs that customers fall in love with.
But it doesn’t just stop there. Our Contract fabrics are extremely durable with high performance requirements for colour fastness, stability, strength and abrasion. ILIV TECH provides additional solutions such as sound absorption, anti microbial treatments, stain resistance and even fabrics that are waterproof.
Proven quality substantiated by independent testing.
All ILIV Fire Retardant fabrics are rigorously tested in independent, certified laboratories and testing houses.
You’ll find all the relevant test certificates for a product on the individual product page in the “TEST CERTIFICATES” folder.
And remember, when ILIV Inherently FR fabrics are washed, there is no reduction in their fire retardant capabilities what so ever.
