The 2 Different Types of Fire-Resistant Lining Carpet
When discussing lining carpets, we typically think of the products and materials used in vans or camper vans. But today, that is no longer the case as fire-resistant lining carpet is used in so many more specialized applications ranging from automobiles and boats to trains, airplanes, and even modern homes. Two top lining carpet products traditionally used in the past include Veltrim and Softrim, both of which are available in a wide range of colors and styles, but neither of which are fire-resistant certified.
With that in mind, we are going to take a look at both of these materials, learn about their unique benefits, and see why you need fire-resistant instead of the normal Softrim & Veltrim.
Veltrim Lining Carpet
Veltrim lining carpet is a material that is slightly thicker and does not stretch in the same way as a more traditional 4-way stretch lining carpet does, but it provides more benefits including a higher quality finish, making it a great choice for car floors and boots.
Veltrim Lining Carpet is:
- Mouldable
- Durable
- Soft Velour Finish
- Denser Than 4-way stretch
- Safety Approved
Softrim Lining Carpet
Softrim lining carpet is similar to Veltrim lining carpet, in that it is just as thick and does not stretch, but it has a ribbed finish.
Softrim Lining Carpet is:
- Mouldable
- Durable
- Ribbed Finish
- Safety Approved
So, which is better for your application and why? While the answer depends greatly on the specifics of your application when comparing Veltrim lining carpet and Softrim lining carpet, neither can stand up to a fire-resistant lining carpet. Let’s take a look at some reasons why.
Softrim Fire-Resistant Lining Carpet
While Softrim Fire-Resistant Lining Carpet is very similar to traditional Softrim lining carpet, it is much thicker by design and it includes a fire-resistant material. Softrim fire-resistant lining carpet can be used in many of the same applications as Veltrim lining carpet and Softrim lining carpet, but it is best suited for roofs and wall lining.
