I have seen advertising and other mentions of thermal paints recently thats about all though.
Have you made sure that the outside is painted a light coulour like white.
Don't think for a minute that canvas is any less flamable than other fabrics. Most canvas burns real well because it is impregnated with oils & waxes to make it waterproof.
If flamability is a concern theatrical curtaining suppliers can treat fabric with flame retardent chemical such as "ROSCO Flamex".
The curtain will also help heaps with the noise.
cheers

Modern fire retardants used in theatre are borax based but ther is a coctail of other chemicals to make the product disperse thru the fabric and prevent it from misbehaving in varoius ways.
Flamex (& similar) is available through most serious theatrical suppliers.
Usualy applied by dipping or spraying, But do it outside as it corodes metal just like salt.
