When sourcing canvas fabric for use with or around the general public, it is best to go for a durable and trustworthy, treated, fire retardant fabric. Our KBT extra wide calico fire retardant fabric measures 300 cm wide. This larger width is most popular for large scale projects. We use Proban to coat our fabric to BS5867 Type 2 part B safety standard. Proban is a registered trademark, any fabrics treated with Proban must meet part of the licensee agreement which means fabrics are made to last and are put through a vigorous test for their wash durability.

Most public events like food and drink fairs or music and arts events usually need to be checked by health and safety officials. Using fire retardant fabric is often expected in these situations. The larger width, strength and durability of this fabric makes it perfect for use with event designs. You can drape the fabric or cover a large space without having to sew seams and joins in the fabric. Theatre props could also benefit from extra wide calico as the fabric can be painted on easily-to create backdrop scenery that will still adhere to health and safety regulations.

The versatility of this calico means it is ideal for both creative and practical uses. Easily make fitted or lose table covers, curtains, partitioning and banners for private functions such as weddings and parties or public events like the increasingly popular craft fairs and food markets appearing in towns up and down the country.

You have the option of keeping the traditional look of the cream fabric or customising it by dying or painting your own colourful designs.
