Frequently asked questions
What are fire blankets?
Fire blankets are a useful fire safety product for every home and are recommended for installation, especially in kitchens. Their function is based on fire suppression. There is a European standard for fire blankets, EN1869:1997, to which Jalo Helsinki fire blankets also conform. We therefore recommend that you install a beautiful fire blanket in a visible place, for example in the kitchen, where it can be accessed quickly if necessary.
How many fire blankets do I need?
There is no precise figure for the number of fire blankets. In fact, we recommend that you have at least one fire blanket per potential source of fire in your home. Install a fire blanket in a visible location close to the potential source of the fire so that it can be quickly deployed if necessary.
How does silicone coating differ from others?
The silicone-coated blanket is more airtight than traditional fibreglass-only fire blankets. This makes fire suppression easier than ever before. In addition, the silicone-coated blanket is almost 40% lighter than a traditional fire blanket.
*Biocouro
Biocouro eco-friendly leather is produced in the Curtumes Aveneda leather factory in Sao Vicente Pereira. Biocouro is the trade name for synthetically produced white tanned leather free of chromium and heavy metals. White tanning can be done chrome-free using the same equipment as chrome tanning. The process has been specifically developed to improve the biodegradability of leather. Biocouro is a fully biodegradable product according to the ISO 20200:2004 standard, i.e. 100% degradation is achieved in less than 15 days.
