Module Overview

Fire safety is a critical consideration for blind installations, particularly in concealed systems where cavities may create fire spread pathways. This module covers fire rating requirements for blind systems, including fabric fire classification, cavity fire stopping, and compliance documentation. You will learn to specify fire-safe blind installations that meet SANS and municipal fire safety requirements while maintaining the desired aesthetic and performance outcomes.
