Flame Retardant Waterproof Duvet Protectors — BS 7175 Crib 5, Green Tint
A duvet protector is the last line of defence before a fluid incident becomes a write-off. In a nursing home bedroom, a hospital ward or a care facility with high-dependency residents, that line gets tested regularly — and a protector that only handles fluids, or only provides FR compliance, is doing half the job. These do both.
Manufactured from Daltex Aqua Shield polypropylene FR-treated fabric, these duvet protectors are certified to BS 7175 Crib 5 and provide full liquid-proof barrier protection. The wipe-clean surface handles fluid contamination between laundering cycles, and the green tint colouring serves a practical purpose in institutional settings — it is a widely recognised indicator of FR-treated protective bedding, making stock identification and compliance auditing straightforward. Available in single and double sizes, in packs from a single piece to 100. For trade volumes or institutional tender enquiries, call 01204 896528.
Key Benefits
The Daltex Aqua Shield material provides liquid-proof protection — not just splash resistance — which means the duvet fill is protected from full fluid incidents rather than minor surface contact. BS 7175 Crib 5 compliance covers the fire safety requirement for most institutional settings where Crib 7 is not specifically mandated — hospitals, nursing homes, general care facilities and certain hotel classifications. The green tint is not purely cosmetic: institutional laundry operations use colour-coded linen to segregate standard and FR-treated items, and the green tint on these protectors makes that identification immediate. Highly durable construction keeps replacement cycles manageable even under daily commercial laundering.

Who These Are For
Hospitals and NHS procurement teams specifying waterproof FR duvet protectors for ward use will find the Crib 5 certification, liquid-proof construction and green tint identification standard all present in a single product. Nursing homes running colour-coded linen management systems can integrate these directly into existing protocols. Care homes procuring for high-dependency or incontinence-care bedrooms benefit from the liquid-proof barrier and the wipe-clean surface, which reduces full laundering frequency without compromising hygiene standards.

FAQs
What is the difference between Crib 5 and Crib 7 FR certification?
Crib 5 (Source 5) and Crib 7 are both classifications within BS 7175, but Crib 7 represents a more severe ignition test. Crib 5 is appropriate for the majority of institutional settings — hospitals, care homes and hotels. Crib 7 is typically specified for higher-risk environments such as mental health units or settings flagged by a fire risk assessment as requiring the higher standard. If you are unsure which applies to your setting, check with your fire risk assessor.
Are these protectors liquid-proof or just water resistant?
Liquid-proof. The Daltex Aqua Shield fabric provides a complete barrier against fluid penetration — not just surface splash resistance. This protects the duvet fill from full fluid incidents.
What does the green tint indicate?
Green tint is a widely used colour coding in institutional linen management to identify FR-treated protective bedding. It allows housekeeping and laundry staff to segregate FR items from standard bedding without having to read labels, which simplifies compliance management in larger facilities.
Are these available in double size as well as single?
Yes. Both single and double sizes are available across all pack options.
Do you supply matching FR pillow protectors?
Yes, FR green tint pillow protectors are available in the same Daltex Aqua Shield waterproof FR fabric, in matching pack sizes. Contact 01204 896528 to order both together.
