Subject:Taki Tiki 518 Main Street Decorative Flame Test
On this date, I witnessed two field application tests for decorative materials used as
wall hangings inside the assembly area of Taki Tiki saloon. NFPA 701 test method 1
applies to “textile wall hangings” and “vertical (folding) shades”.
The field application of the laboratory test consisted of a 10 second application of an
open flame on a test sample of the material. When the flame is removed, the material
self-extinguishes within 2 seconds.
The first test was conducted on palm fronds that will be attached to a point on an
interior wall and will be hanging horizontally to simulate a palm tree. The materials are
actual organic palm fronds. The sample passed the application test and is accepted by
fire department.
The second test was conducted on palm frond that are thatched and arranged as
decorative arrangement mounted vertically on the interior wall. The materials are actual
organic palm fronds. The sample passed the application test and is accepted by fire
department.
