Interior materials play a major part in supporting flames or toxicity. Statistics prove that more people die in fires as a result of inhaling toxic fumes and smoke than from the flames themselves. Architects are not always involved when interior furnishings and materials are selected. Many public and commercial spaces are finished by the interior designer long after the architect is no longer involved. Additionally, residences utilizing an interior designer seldom involve an architect. Interior designers are interior finishes that meet or exceed local, state and national fire codes.
