Ege
flammability statement.

All fire retardant is in the precoat (the glue beneath the top cloth) and will not be affected by use or cleaning of the carpet tile. Ege Carpets is not ware after decades of operation, of any liquid, or cleaning process that could harm the fire performance of their carpet tiles. Ege Carpets only knowledge of anything that can “destroy” fire performance, is exposure to a temperature in excess of 220oC, where the three water molecules in the ATH fire retardant are released in an endothermic reaction.

Since June 2007 all Ege Carpets have been CE marked. Declaring fire performance of products is mandatory in obtaining the CE mark, and the level of fire performance must be maintained for the lifetime of the product. Carpet tiles are first used after their initial installation, between 5 – 7 years average. Therefore, Ege Carpets anticipates their legacy carpet tiles pre-June 2007 to be out of circulation, and the likelihood of encountering an Ege Carpet tile before this time to be exceptionally low.

All carpet tiles manufactured for the UK market meet standard EN 13501 to ensure fire performance suitability for commercial environments and thus applicable for housing too.
