On-site fireproofing of green walls and furniture for bars and after-work venues<\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n

Key points<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
The challenge for public entertainment venues: bars and nightlife venues are subject to strict regulations. Plant displays, floral ceilings and furnishings must comply with fire safety standards (M1 classification). <\/li>\n
No dismantling required: The Alfaflor team will come directly to your premises outside of your opening hours.<\/li>\n
Dual expertise: we have both the certified products and the know-how to treat both artificial plants and furniture.<\/li>\n
Complete peace of mind: we secure your premises, carry out the treatment and provide you with the official certificate required by the safety committee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
1. The \u2018Jungle\u2019 or \u2018Cosy\u2019 atmosphere: a charming feature, but a safety risk<\/h2>\n
Nowadays, the customer experience in an after-work bar is no longer limited to the cocktail menu. Visual immersion is key. Green walls, vines hanging from the ceiling and ultra-comfortable velvet sofas have become essential for attracting customers. <\/p>\n
However, these decorative items (often made of plastics, synthetic foams or untreated fabrics) are highly flammable. In a public access building, where there is a high density of people and a festive atmosphere, the risk of fire is serious. Without official certification proving that your decorations are fire-retardant, the safety committee may require the immediate removal of your decorations, or even the administrative closure of the premises. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. Alfaflor\u2019s expertise: On-site fireproofing without disrupting your business<\/h2>\n
Taking down a wall-mounted green wall or moving 40 sofas into our workshops? That\u2019s unthinkable for a bar manager. That\u2019s why Alfaflor can carry out the work directly on site. <\/p>\n
Our mission is simple: to keep your premises secure without hindering your turnover.<\/p>\n
We will schedule our visit to suit your timetable (mornings or on days when you are closed).<\/p>\n
Our technicians insulate sensitive areas (bar, bottles, floors).<\/p>\n
We apply our certified flame-retardant solutions using high-precision spraying, whether to artificial plants or upholstery fabrics.<\/p>\n

3. Case study no. 1: SAS B22 in Salon-de-Provence<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
SAS B22 is a real institution when it comes to after-work drinks in Salon-de-Provence. To offer its customers an exceptional setting, the venue has opted for spectacular greenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The challenge: The bar is adorned with enormous artificial green walls and ceilings entirely covered in foliage. The challenge was to treat these vast, high surfaces without damaging the rest of the furniture or leaving any residue on the counter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our solution: Using our long-range spraying equipment and our specialist products for artificial plants, we were able to treat the entire d\u00e9cor evenly. SAS B22 was thus able to retain its unique atmosphere whilst obtaining its safety certification, which is essential for this highly frequented venue. <\/p>\n<\/div>

4. Case study no. 2: O MAYA BAR<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
Located in a bustling business district, the OMAYA BAR is another must-visit spot for nightlife and after-work drinks. Their requirements were even more complex, as they involved both the d\u00e9cor and the furnishings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The challenge: In addition to the artificial plants found throughout the venue, the Omaya Bar wanted to bring all its furniture \u2013 including fabric chairs and sofas \u2013 up to standard. This meant having to work with different materials during the same project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our solution: The advantage of calling on Alfaflor\u2019s expertise is our versatility. Our teams deployed several of our certified solutions: a product for the plants and a specific product designed to penetrate deep into the fibres of the sofas. The result? A \u2018turnkey\u2019 compliance solution delivered in record time. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
5. Why should you entrust us with bringing your premises up to standard?<\/h2>\n
As a manager, your job is to welcome your customers, not to handle chemicals.<\/p>\n
Technical compliance: each material (plastic, cotton, velvet) reacts differently. We use the right product, in the right quantity, to ensure effectiveness. <\/p>\n
Cleanliness guaranteed: we take great care to protect your premises (using tarpaulins and protective film) and clean up any traces of our work once we\u2019ve finished. Your bar will look just as good as ever. <\/p>\n
The legal safeguard: once the work is complete, Alfaflor signs the treatment certificate. You are legally covered and ready to welcome the safety inspection team. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6. Frequently asked questions about our bar services<\/h2>\n
How long should the establishment allow for drying?<\/h3>\n
For best results, we recommend allowing the surface to dry and air out for at least 72 hours. Ideally, you should schedule our work to take place just before your consecutive days off, so that the product can set properly without disrupting your customers. <\/p>\n
Does the treatment leave a smell in the bar?<\/h3>\n
When applied, our products give off a normal technical odour. However, once the recommended waiting time has elapsed and the premises have been thoroughly ventilated, the odour will have completely dissipated. When you reopen, the atmosphere will be completely odour-free for your customers. <\/p>\n
Will the product change the feel of my sofas?<\/h3>\n
Immediately after spraying, you may notice a slight sticky feeling on the upholstery, which is to be expected. Don\u2019t worry: once it has dried completely, the fibres will have fully absorbed the treatment. Your seats will then regain their original softness and comfort. <\/p>\n
Will the appearance of my living walls change?<\/h3>\n
The good news is that the fire-retardant treatment actually enhances your decorations! On artificial plants and foliage, our product leaves a subtle sheen. Far from detracting from your d\u00e9cor, this glossy finish often brings out the colours of your urban jungle whilst ensuring it is 100% compliant with fire safety standards. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Conclusion: set the mood, and we\u2019ll take care of the rest!<\/h2>\n
Fitting out an after-work bar requires a significant investment in d\u00e9cor. Don\u2019t risk having to dismantle everything during an inspection. With Alfaflor\u2019s on-site service, you can ensure your fit-out remains compliant with public access building regulations. <\/p>\n
