Elevator interiors feature expensive stainless steel, mirrors, glass, and timber panels that are easily scratched, dented, or cracked by furniture, trade tools, and heavy construction materials. Installing targeted protection can prevent thousands of dollars in repairs and preserve your lift in good condition.

Our Australian-made lift protection blankets (also known as lift protection curtains, covers, or pads) are custom-designed to fit your lift car perfectly. Crafted from 610 GSM Fire-Retardant (FR) PVC with a thick cushion infill, they are fully compliant with AS/NZS 1530.3:1999 standards and National Construction Code (NCC) requirements. Lightweight, ultra-durable, and fire-compliant, our blankets are easy to fit, remove, clean, and store.

Yes. All of our padded lift curtains are manufactured using 610 GSM Fire-Retardant (FR) PVC that complies with AS/NZS 1530.3:1999—the mandatory Australian standard for evaluating early fire hazard properties of interior building materials.
AS/NZS 1530.3 tests and evaluates four critical fire performance metrics:
Ignitability Index: Measures resistance to ignition under radiant heat.
Spread of Flame Index: Evaluates how rapidly flames travel across the surface.
Heat Evolved Index: Measures heat energy released upon ignition.
Smoke Developed Index: Assesses smoke density and visibility reduction.
By meeting these strict National Construction Code (NCC) standards, our heavy-duty protective blankets ensure your building remains compliant during construction, fit-outs, or move-ins without introducing unnecessary fire or smoke hazards.
-
Our standard lead time is 7–10 business days, with the ability to manufacture custom protection blankets overnight for urgent, time-sensitive job-site requirements.
