Fleece-lined curtains

[Safelincs]

Hi

I am looking for views, please. We were just asked the following questions:

"To save energy in your home you can line your curtains with fleece to keep the heat it. However, is this a fire hazard - any more so than standard curtains?"
 

Thanks for any comments

What type of fleece is it is it natural or synthetic and you could do an ad hoc fire test on a small strip, if the flame goes out after the ignition source has been removed would indicate low surface spread of flame. Checking how far the flame has burned, the further it has burned the more flammable it is. Better still get this information from the retailer.
