Are all plants fire-retardant?

No, artificial plants usually have not received a fire-retardant treatment. It depends on the materials used. Not every type of artificial material is suitable for retaining the fire-retardant treatment.

Please note! Fire-retardant doesn't mean that the plants can't or won't catch fire or burn. They can certainly catch fire, even after they've received a fire-retardant treatment! The term 'fire-retardant' means that it will take longer before the leaves catch fire in case of open fire. Depending on the intensity of the source of the fire, this varies from 15 seconds to one minute. This is plenty of time to leave the room.

Maxifleur cannot provide guarantees for fire-retardant products, nor can it provide certificates regarding the fire-retardant properties or be held liable for possible damage caused by fire. Thanks to conditioned fire-safety tests, we know that the artificial parts of the plant will not catch fire as quickly.
