This is a question asked by many homeowners when buying pre-lit Christmas trees. People ask if the tree is flame-retardant and if each tree goes through a proper safety check before it is sold.
Well, you can feel assured that our artificial trees are safe as our customer’s safety is essential. But to give you some added reassurance, we answered some of the pressing safety concerns you have with artificial trees.
First, we start with the material and what they are made from.
What Artificial Christmas Trees are Made Of
When you browse through our selection of pre-lit Christmas trees, it is made of quality material. You can find the trunk made of steel with a sturdy yet solid base. With good care, it can last you a lifetime.
It can be crafted with PE, PVC, or a combination of both, from the branch needle to the tip. Or it can be made with only PVC to give the tree a realistic look. These high-grade materials give that traditional look and look like the branches are plucked straight from Lapland.
Is Artificial Christmas Trees Flame Retardant?
When choosing pre-lit Christmas trees, we work closely with our suppliers to ensure that the pine needles’ PVC and PE branch tips are flame-resistant. The materials are treated with special chemicals to help slow the spread of open flames across your tree. It is a vital safety concern and is included in our industry standards.
Still, to be extra safe, we recommend our customers keep their artificial Christmas trees away from any heat sources like vents, fires, or heaters. We recommend placing your tree at least eight feet away from the open flames if you have a fireplace.
If you have a traditional or artificial tree, the above rules apply. However, with your realistic tree, the needles can catch alight. The same can happen with lights, as the heat of the lights can lead to unexpected fires.
Yet, with an artificial Christmas tree, the branches treated with flame-retardant chemicals prevent this from happening when you have lights on the tree.
