Flame-Retardant Corridor Carpets

Flame-Retardant Corridor Carpets

Product Introduction:

Our Marine Flame-Retardant Corridor Carpets are precision-engineered to provide superior fire protection in passenger vessel corridors, gangways, and escape routes. These high-traffic passageways demand flooring that not only withstands constant footfall but also delivers uncompromising fire safety performance – and our carpets deliver on both counts.

These carpets are manufactured using the renowned Axminster weaving technique, combining natural wool-rich comfort with advanced flame-retardant engineering. The dense 80% wool + 20% nylon pile construction resists ignition, limits flame spread, and minimizes smoke and toxic gas emission – critical factors for passenger evacuation and crew safety in emergency situations.

Fully certified to meet the most stringent international maritime fire safety standards, our carpets provide shipowners, shipyards, and interior designers with complete confidence in both performance and regulatory compliance.

Key Features & Technical Specifications:

1. IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5 – Low Flame Spread

Our carpets are independently tested and verified to comply with IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5, which governs flame spread characteristics on marine flooring materials. Key performance attributes include:

*Controlled flame propagation – Fire does not rapidly spread across the carpet surface

*Self-extinguishing properties – The carpet ceases burning when the ignition source is removed

*Limited surface burning – Reduces fire intensity in corridor areas, slowing fire development

This certification is particularly critical for corridors, which serve as primary evacuation routes where fire spread must be strictly controlled.

2. IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 2 – Smoke & Toxicity Limitations

In the event of a fire, smoke and toxic gases pose a greater threat to life than flames themselves. Our carpets meet IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 2 requirements for:

*Limited smoke production – Preserves visibility for passenger evacuation

*Reduced toxic gas emissions – Minimizes exposure to harmful combustion products

*Enhanced survival conditions – Provides additional evacuation time for passengers and crew

This dual certification (Part 2 & Part 5) ensures comprehensive fire safety protection for your vessel's corridors.

3. Premium 80% Wool + 20% Nylon Fiber Blend

Our carefully engineered fiber composition contributes to both fire safety and durability:

80% Wool --Naturally flame-retardant – wool is inherently difficult to ignite and self-extinguishing Natural resilience, stain resistance, and acoustic insulation

20% Nylon--Maintains structural integrity during fire exposure Superior abrasion resistance, crush recovery, and extended service life

4. Axminster Woven Construction – Dense, Stable, and Safe

The Axminster weaving technique creates a densely packed pile structure that:

*Reduces oxygen availability within the carpet matrix, limiting combustion

*Provides stable dimensional integrity – no curling or shrinking that could create fire gaps

*Delivers exceptional pattern clarity with unlimited color options

5. Wall-to-Wall Installation – Complete Fire Barrier

Supplied in continuous rolls with a maximum width of 4 meters, our carpets provide:

*Seamless floor coverage without gaps where fire could penetrate

*Hygienic, easy-to-clean surfaces for housekeeping crews

*Consistent fire performance across the entire corridor length

6. Suitable for Any Non-Combustible Substrate

Our carpets are designed for installation on standard marine substrates, including:

*Steel decks (tested on 3mm steel plate)

*Any other non-combustible surfaces found in shipboard applications

7. CCS-Approved Installation System

For optimal fire performance, we recommend using:

*CCS-approved adhesives with low flame spread characteristics

*Manufacturer's recommended coverage rates for consistent bonding

*Professional installation to ensure full compliance with fire safety requirements

9. Custom Design Services

We collaborate with shipowners, interior designers, and naval architects to create bespoke corridor carpet designs that reflect your vessel's brand identity and interior theme – from subtle tonal patterns to bold statement motifs.
