FireTex- the science behind our world class fire retardant technology
Our FireTex® technology combines lifelike design with world-class fire retardancy, engineered for spaces that demand safety without compromising realism. You are responsible for your project, and Designer Vertical Gardens does not guarantee or warrant product suitability for specific projects.

FireTex is infused, not coated, with fire-retardant compounds, delivering zero flame spread, low smoke emission, and self-extinguishing performance that lasts for the life of the product.

Frequently Asked Questions Grade 1 Fire-Tested Artificial Green Walls
Everything you need to know about Australia’s only certified fire-rated artificial greenery
General Questions
What does 'Grade 1 Fire Tested' mean?
A Grade 1 or Group 1 Fire Rating means our products have achieved the highest level of fire safety certification in Australia under the AS 5637.1 and AS ISO 9705 standards. This rating ensures our artificial greenery contributes minimally to fire growth and smoke production, making it suitable for use in both commercial and residential buildings.
Are Designer Plants really the only company in Australia with this certification?
Yes. Designer Plants is Australia's only manufacturer of artificial plants and green walls that have been independently tested and certified to Group 1 Fire Rating. Our testing was conducted at a NATA-accredited laboratory, giving you verified compliance documentation for your project.
Why is fire testing important for artificial greenery?
Many artificial plants can be highly flammable. For commercial and public spaces, materials must meet the National Construction Code (NCC) standards for fire propagation. Using untested products can delay building certification, increase liability, and pose safety risks. Group 1 testing ensures our greenery is safe, compliant, and suitable for high-risk environments.
Are these green walls suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Yes. Our panels are UV-engineered for outdoor durability and tested to resist fading, cracking, and discolouration. Indoors, they deliver the same lifelike aesthetic while maintaining their fire safety certification and non-toxic composition.
Compliance & Certification
What documentation do you provide for compliance?
We supply a full fire test report and compliance certificate (AS 5637.1), which can be included in your building documentation pack for architects, certifiers, and fire engineers. This ensures seamless approval under Australian building regulations.
Can I use these products in commercial fit-outs like hospitals or aged-care facilities?
Absolutely. Our Group 1 certified range is specifically designed for compliance-critical spaces, including: Aged care and healthcare facilities, Education and childcare centres, Retail, hospitality, and offices, Multi-residential developments and foyers. Using non-rated products in these environments could risk non-compliance or insurance complications.
How is the Group 1 Fire Test performed?
The product is exposed to an intense full-scale room burn test in accordance with AS ISO 9705. The results are measured by the heat release rate, flame spread, and smoke development, determining its classification under AS 5637.1. Only materials with the lowest fire growth rates achieve Group 1 classification.
