Question:
Between plastic and aluminum mini-blinds, which is the safer choice
(if there's one)? I'm under the impression that many plastics give out
noxious fumes when they burn, so I suspect that aluminum might be safer.
On the other hand, I know that metals can burn too. What I don't know is
if aluminum mini-blinds burn easily and if they would burn really hot
once they ignite.
Answer:
The aluminum mini blinds are the safer choice. The aluminum will not
become involved as a fuel until the room is at or near flash over.
Flash over is the point at which the entire interior of the room is
burning.
