Flame Spun: Weaving Performance into Every Fibre.
Pioneering bespoke heat-resistant textiles for the modern culinary world, crafted in the heart of Oxfordshire.
Our Heritage: Spun from Passion, Woven with Precision
Founded in Abingdon, Flame Spun merges a rich history of British textile manufacturing with cutting-edge material science. We are dedicated to creating superior, durable, and safe fabrics that perform under pressure, day in and day out. Our mission is to provide our partners in the discerning culinary and rugged outdoor industries with textiles that not only meet but far exceed the rigorous demands of their innovative products. We champion the fusion of time-honoured craftsmanship with forward-thinking material development.
Material Innovation: The Science of Heat Resistance
Specialised Weaving Process
Our proprietary weaving techniques create an exceptionally dense and interlocking fabric structure. This advanced methodology significantly enhances thermal resistance, abrasion resistance, and overall durability, far surpassing the capabilities of standard weaves. Every thread is precisely placed for optimal performance.
Advanced Fibre Blends
We meticulously select and blend a range of advanced, inherently non-combustible fibres. These include high-performance synthetics like Aramid and finely treated natural materials, expertly combined to achieve precise temperature ratings, desired flexibility, and specific performance characteristics required for demanding environments.
Custom Fabric Development
Our dedicated in-house Research & Development team thrives on collaboration. We partner closely with clients from concept to creation, meticulously engineering bespoke textiles tailored precisely to their unique application requirements, considering factors like texture, flexibility, chemical resistance, and extreme heat tolerance.
From the Professional Kitchen to the Backyard Grill
Our meticulously engineered textiles form the robust backbone of high-performance products across multiple critical sectors.
Grill & BBQ Accessories
Providing the core, high-performance material for premium grill gloves, robust smoker jackets, and essential heat-proof mats, ensuring safety and durability in intense outdoor cooking environments.
