Fabric Sourcing & Specification
Every major inherently FR fabric house. One account. One certificate pack.
One point of contact across 6,900+ fabrics
CreateFR holds accounts with every major inherently fire retardant fabric house in the UK contract market — iLiv, Panaz, Skopos, Villa Nova, Edmund Bell, Vescom, Prestigious Textiles, Bancroft, Edinburgh Weavers, Sunbury Designs and more. That means one point of contact, one set of trade terms, and one certificate pack at handover.
Whether you already have a fabric specified or need help finding the right one for the sector, the budget and the performance standard, we'll get you there.
Four ways we support your specification
Specification support
We match performance requirements — BS 5867 Type B or C, Crib 5, IMO — to fabric choices within the target price band. If the FF&E schedule names a fabric, we confirm availability, lead time and pricing. If it names a performance level, we recommend options.
Sample service
Fabric samples dispatched free to trade addresses, direct from any product page. For larger sample sets — shortlisting across collections for a design presentation — tell us the brief and we'll curate a pack.
Compliance documentation
Fire certificates are open downloads on every product page, no login required. At order stage we compile the full certificate pack for your O&M manual — per fabric, per standard, per project.
Specification clauses
Copy-ready specification clauses for BS 5867 Type B, Type C, Crib 5 and IMO — ready to drop into NBS Chorus or a traditional preliminaries document.
What you need to know
Who this is for
FF&E designers specifying for hospitality, healthcare, education or commercial interiors. Interior designers working on contract schemes who need compliant fabric options within budget. Contractors who've inherited an FF&E spec and need to source and price it.
The inherently FR difference
Every fabric we list is permanently flame retardant by fibre composition — Trevira CS, inherent FR polyester and similar. Nothing chemically treated after production, so performance can't wash out or degrade over the life of the curtain.
Range depth
Plains, prints, weaves, velvets, voiles, sheers, dimouts and blackouts — searchable by colour, pattern type, fabric house, sector suitability and fire rating.
