The blanket deploys by pulling two fabric tapes downwards, releasing it from the pouch in one continuous motion. Once deployed, the blanket can be used to smother small fires, wrap around a person whose clothing has caught fire, or shield the user when approaching a fire to reach an exit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchens, workshops, caravans, boats and offices, the pouch mounts onto a wall using two screws (not included) and sits 320mm wide by 180mm tall with a 25mm projection. The red pouch carries printed instructions for deployment and use in four steps, visible at a glance during an emergency. The blanket itself weighs 510g when packed and can be handled by one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100% glass fabric construction is non-combustible and does not require maintenance between deployment events. After use, the blanket is discarded — it cannot be cleaned or reused. The 1m x 1m size suits chip pan fires, small electrical appliance fires, and wrapping around an adult's torso and arms when clothing ignition occurs. Larger fire blankets are available for commercial kitchens and industrial settings, but the 1m size is specified for domestic use under BS EN 1869:2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (fully extended)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0m x 1.0m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (packed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320 x 180 x 25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e510g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the blanket made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blanket is woven from 100% glass fabric, which is non-combustible and can withstand direct contact with flames to smother small fires.
