According to the FDNY, over 26,000 structural fires occurred in New York City in 2010 alone. In order to avoid incurring huge costs as a result of the damage caused by a fire, materials used for decoration and artistic enhancement in bars should be fire proofed. When materials are flameproofed, they become resistant to spreading fire and also help prevent new fires from starting. The risk to life and property in a structural fire can be significantly reduced by flame proofing materials in bars in New York City.
Bar flame proofing can be done on- or off-site, although on-site is easier, as it limits the time and expense of removing and reinstalling the materials. Fire proofing can be done by either coating or soaking the material in the fire retardant using best practices for flameproofing.
