Signature car fire blankets · Kolkata and Howrah homes

An 8 × 6 metre blanket for the car under a Kolkata home

The car sits in a society basement, a Salt Lake stilt, a New Town ramp, or a small garage in Howrah. You pull this blanket over that one car so the flame and the heat stay under the cover while the fire service is still coming. Choose Standard or Premium, check that two people can walk it out, and ask us for a quote. We make it at our Ahmedabad factory and ship it to the address on the order.

Where a Kolkata or Howrah household keeps it

Each place below is home parking: a basement, a stilt, or a house garage. We do not keep a shelf in any of these neighbourhoods.

  • KMC residential basements

    Apartment parking under the Kolkata Municipal Corporation

    Who orders
    Housing societies and flat owners inside the KMC area
    How the piece is used
    Rule 118 of the KMC Building Rules, 2009 allows a residential basement to be used as parking. Clear height is at least 2.1 m, and a basement under 1,000 square metres has one ramp. The blanket has to live on that parking floor, where two people can walk it over a car. A store at the top of the ramp is a long way from the bay.

    DSZCFB0.6; DSZCFB0.8P on a level where an electric car parks
  • Salt Lake Sectors I, II and III

    Residential township under Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation

    Who orders
    Cooperative plots and apartment blocks in the original Salt Lake wards
    How the piece is used
    Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation records about 26,000 Salt Lake households in wards 29 to 40, separate from the Rajarhat wards. Stilt and ground-floor parking under a residential block is the usual place for the family car. Keep one piece at the stair that serves that parking, so the caretaker does not have to fetch it from a flat.
    Model to start with
    DSZCFB0.6 for petrol and diesel cars
  • New Town Action Areas

    Planned housing east of Salt Lake, under NKDA

    Who orders
    Residents of Action Area blocks with basement parking
    How the piece is used
    New Town sits east of Bidhannagar, under NKDA, and HIDCO publishes the Action Area layouts. Housing registered with the state regulator lists basement car parking in these blocks. Put the piece at the ramp residents actually use. A second level that cannot be reached from the first needs its own piece.
    Model to start with
    DSZCFB0.8P where an electric car charges; DSZCFB0.6 on other levels
  • Rajarhat, Kestopur, Baguiati and Jyangra

    Bidhannagar wards 1 to 26, north of Salt Lake

    Who orders
    Apartment households in the Rajarhat side of Bidhannagar
    How the piece is used
    The corporation counts about 1.17 lakh Rajarhat households in wards 1 to 26, and its tax offices sit at Bablatala, Tegharia, Jyangra and Kestopur. Parking here is often a ground-floor bay or a shared basement for many flats. One piece at the building entrance covers the cars that two people can reach from that entrance.
    Model to start with
    DSZCFB0.6, one piece per entrance that can reach the cars
  • Howrah house garages

    Small residential plots under Howrah Municipal Corporation

    Who orders
    Households with a ground-floor garage or open parking off a narrow lane
    How the piece is used
    Howrah applies the KMC Building Rules, and the 2022 urban-development notification describes an old city of partitioned plots and narrow access. A single-car garage may not leave room to walk an 8 × 6 m blanket down both sides. Measure the bay and the lane before you order one piece for the family car.
    Model to start with
    DSZCFB0.6 when two people can walk around the car
  • Howrah apartment basements

    Residential basements inside Howrah Municipal Corporation

    Who orders
    Small apartment societies on the Howrah side of the river
    How the piece is used
    The same basement-as-parking rule applies inside Howrah, including headroom and a ramp. On plots above 5,000 square metres the corporation also allows extra ground coverage that is reserved for car parking and services. The piece still belongs on the parking floor, next to the cars, and the society orders it to the building address.
    Model to start with
    DSZCFB0.6; DSZCFB0.8P if residents park an electric car there

Pulling it over the car at home

The figures below are the listed specification. Read the temperature bands in how to read a temperature rating.

What is listed on the piece

  • Two models only: DSZCFB0.6 Standard and DSZCFB0.8P Premium. Sold per piece (NOS).
  • Both are grey, 8 × 6 metres. The size is fixed. Length and width are not typed in on the order.
  • Standard is 0.6 mm and 520 GSM, working temperature 650 °C to 900 °C, both sides silicon coated.
  • Premium is 0.8 mm and 550 GSM, working temperature 1100 °C to 1800 °C. The coating is listed as both sides silicon coated and itching-proof.
  • GSM is the fabric weight, not the weight of the packed blanket.
  • Shared specification text: waterproof, weatherproof, chemical proof, anti-static and reusable material. Reuse depends on an inspection after use. No cycle count is listed.
Two people, one each side
The piece is large. Most sites train two people to walk it from the front of the car to the back. One person cannot seal both edges.
Edges down to the floor
The 8 × 6 metre size is there so the blanket can cover a car or a van and still reach the ground. The seal is what keeps the flame and the heat under the cover.
Practise in an empty bay
Do the walk once while the bay is empty, then hang the piece back where those two people can take it. A basement of 2.1 m headroom still needs space beside the car.
Look at it after use
The specification lists reusable material. Tears, a split coating or a burn-through take the piece out of service. There is no listed number of uses.

Standard or Premium for the cars you actually park

Both models are on the same product page. The quotation needs the model name on each line.

What to send with the quote

A household or a managing committee can send these four points. We quote the pieces from Ahmedabad.

The address
The building in Salt Lake, New Town, Rajarhat, a KMC ward, or Howrah. A society name is enough. A lane and a garage note helps a Howrah house.
Standard, Premium, or both
DSZCFB0.6 for petrol and diesel cars. DSZCFB0.8P for the level with an electric car. If you need both, they are two lines.
How many pieces
One piece per parking level or entrance that can actually reach the cars. Count levels, not flats.
Where it will hang
Basement, stilt, or house garage, and whether two people can walk around the car. If the bay is too tight, say so before we quote a piece that will not come out.

If the building wants the pieces soon, write to our sales team and we will look at dispatch for that order. That conversation does not promise a same-day collection.

Shipped from Ahmedabad to your building

We manufacture the blanket in Ahmedabad and dispatch it to the Kolkata or Howrah address on the order. Processing is 1–2 business days after payment. The shipping policy then gives courier estimates of 1–3 days local, 2–5 days within the state, and 3–7 days for the rest of India. Those bands are estimates. A West Bengal address is not a Gujarat local run, so the quotation is what confirms dispatch. It does not promise the day the piece arrives.

A home car, and the workshop blanket next door

A Howrah fabrication shop that needs a fire-watch cover is a different product and a different page. Use these links for the car at home, and the workshop link only when the job is the shop.

Questions from Kolkata and Howrah homes

Societies, flat owners and house garages. The model figures are the listed specification.

Which model fits a Kolkata society basement that only parks petrol and diesel cars?

Start with DSZCFB0.6 Standard. It is listed at 650 °C to 900 °C, 0.6 mm and 520 GSM, grey, both sides silicon coated, one piece of 8 × 6 metres. That is the blanket for a family car that runs on petrol or diesel. Keep it on the parking level, where two people can reach it without going up to a flat.

A New Town block has one electric car. Do we buy Premium for the whole basement?

Buy DSZCFB0.8P Premium for the level where that car parks or charges. Premium is listed at 1100 °C to 1800 °C, 0.8 mm and 550 GSM. The other levels, if they only hold petrol and diesel cars, can stay on DSZCFB0.6. Write both lines on the quotation so the pieces are not mixed up in one count. The blanket holds surface flame and heat. It does not stop a battery from burning inside the pack, and no EV battery certificate is listed.

Will an 8 × 6 metre blanket come out of a Howrah house garage?

Only if two people can walk it from the front of the car to the back and seal the edges to the ground. Howrah plots are often small and the lane is narrow, so measure the garage and the space beside the car before you order. Both models are 8 × 6 metres only. A tighter piece is not listed, and the size cannot be typed in on the order.

Does this blanket satisfy the Kolkata or Howrah basement parking rule?

No. The municipal rules say a residential basement may be used for parking, with headroom, ramps and drainage. Those rules are for the building. This product is a blanket you store and pull over a car. No fire-code approval is printed on DSZCFB0.6 or DSZCFB0.8P. Your society and its fire adviser decide what the building must keep.

How many pieces does a Salt Lake block need?

Count parking levels, not flats. One piece lives where the cars on that level can be covered. A Salt Lake cooperative with stilt parking under one stair often starts with one DSZCFB0.6 at that stair. A New Town basement with two ramps is a longer walk, so the piece belongs at the ramp you will actually use, and a second piece belongs on another level if cars there cannot be reached from the first. Tell us the number of levels and where each piece will hang.

Is there a shop or a warehouse in Kolkata or Howrah?

No. We manufacture the blanket at our factory in Ahmedabad and ship it to the address on the order. There is no branch, counter or shelf in Salt Lake, New Town, a KMC basement or Howrah. The product is still available to order. Need it urgently? Contact our sales team to discuss your requirement and available dispatch options.

When does an order for Kolkata leave Ahmedabad?

Processing is 1–2 business days after payment. The shipping policy then gives courier estimates: 1–3 days local, 2–5 days within the state, and 3–7 days for the rest of India. Those are estimates. Kolkata and Howrah are in West Bengal, so a Gujarat local run is not the band to plan on. The quotation confirms dispatch. It is not a promise of the day the piece arrives. Need this urgently? Contact our sales team to discuss your requirement and available dispatch options.

Can we order a smaller blanket for a scooter or a tight stilt?

No. Both current models are 8 × 6 metres, sold per piece. The size is fixed. If the bay is too tight for two people to walk the blanket over the vehicle and down to the floor, this model is the wrong format for that bay. Ask us before you order rather than assuming another size exists.

Is this the same blanket as the silicon fire blanket for Howrah workshops?

No. This page is DSZCFB, an 8 × 6 metre vehicle blanket for a car at home, sold per piece. The Howrah fabrication page is a silicon fire blanket for shop fire watch, in a different size and a different category. A housing-society basement and a workshop bay are different orders.

Who should practise pulling it — the caretaker or the residents?

Whoever your building has already named for a vehicle fire. The blanket is large. Most sites train two people, one on each side, to walk it from the front of the car to the back. A first attempt during a fire is the wrong time to learn the walk. Practise on an empty bay, then put the piece back where those two people can take it without hunting for a key.
