Is it better to use ordinary wires for household decoration or flame retardant wires?

Regarding this problem, it has always been a problem that owners have struggled with during decoration. Although each has its own advantages, it is recommended to use flame-retardant wires and higher safety performance when conditions permit.


The advantages of flame-retardant wires: in the event of a fire, the flame spread speed can be controlled within a certain range to avoid major disasters caused by the prolonged combustion of the wires, fight for rescue time, keep various equipment, and avoid greater losses.
Difference from ordinary wires: most ordinary insulated wires and flame-retardant wires have no difference in appearance, but flame-retardant wires contain flame-retardant components in the outer plastic insulation layer, while ordinary wires do not; flame-retardant wires are also classified as ZA ZA, ZB and ZC have three levels of flame retardant effects. ZA has a higher and better flame retardant rating. It is generally used in military, aviation and municipal engineering. The flame retardant effects of ZB and ZC can be used for ordinary household decoration.


Do I need to use flame-retardant wires for home decoration?
Homes have strict acceptance standards for engineering constructions, requiring that such places must use flame-retardant wires; at the same time, the fire department and engineering supervisors conduct spot checks on the construction wires, and the wires can only be constructed after they have passed the flame retardant performance. Therefore, in terms of home furnishings, flame-retardant wires can meet household electricity needs.


In the home decoration, the wires are concealed projects. Once damaged, it will be more troublesome to repair. Therefore, try to use wire and cable products with higher safety performance, and use it more safely.
