Fred might i suggest you talk to a marine (boat) fitter. The fitters I visit
on a weekly basis inform me that
larger vessels MUST use fire retardant fabrics and carpets now (in
australia) for health and safety reasons.
I have examined a few samples they had on hand and the carpet seems quite
light, but not very flexible. The
fabrics come in quite a good range of colours too. I have been toying with
the idea of lambs wool skins for my seat, which are fire proof, and warm for
those FL flights at sub zero temps. The only issue I can see is
the lint, and how often they would need to be laundered to keep them looking
good.

Subject: Europa-List: fabric flammability
Does anyone know whether or not fabrics for seats need meet FAR
23.853(A) in our Europas?
If not, is there a lessor standard used in the fabric industry which
might be of some guidance when selecting fabric for seat cushions?
