Fabric Performance Backed by International Certifications
When selecting fabrics for window coverings, performance and safety matter as much as appearance. Azura works with carefully selected fabric suppliers whose materials are tested by internationally recognized standards to ensure they meet requirements for indoor air quality, fire safety, durability, and long-term reliability.
Rather than relying on visual appeal alone, these fabrics are evaluated through independent testing programs that address real-world residential and commercial use conditions.
Certified for Health and Indoor Air Quality
UL GREENGUARD Gold
Fabrics certified under UL GREENGUARD Gold are tested for low chemical emissions into indoor air. This certification confirms that the fabric contributes to healthier indoor environments and is suitable for sensitive spaces such as homes, schools, offices, and healthcare facilities.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification evaluates textile processing, including dyes and finishing treatments. Fabrics that meet this standard are verified to be free from harmful substances and safe for direct human contact, making them suitable for everyday residential use.
Fire Safety Compliance for Public and Commercial Spaces
NFPA 701
NFPA 701 is a widely recognized fire-retardancy test for textiles used in public spaces such as offices, schools, hotels, and auditoriums. Fabrics that pass this test demonstrate reduced flame spread and minimized residual burning, supporting safer interior environments.
California Title 19
California Title 19 evaluates flame resistance based on burn time and flame propagation distance. Fabrics meeting this regulation comply with strict fire safety requirements specific to the state of California and are commonly specified for commercial and public installations.
Resistance to Mold and Bacteria
ASTM G21
ASTM G21 testing measures a fabric’s resistance to fungal growth under controlled conditions. Fabrics that pass this test show strong resistance to mold and mildew, making them suitable for humid or high-moisture environments.
ASTM E2180
ASTM E2180 evaluates antibacterial performance, particularly resistance to bacterial growth such as staphylococcus. Fabrics meeting this standard help maintain cleaner surfaces and support hygienic indoor environments.
