Here at Barons Contract Furniture, we take fire safety very seriously, and we're proud to say that our fire-retardant fabrics are completely compliant with fire safety regulations!

We've taken every step to ensure that our upholstered furniture is as safe as possible. We use top-quality fire-retardant fabrics that are designed to resist flames and slow down their spread. All our upholstery fabrics meet Performance Standard BS7176 – medium hazard tested to; Cigarette (EN1021-1) and Match ignition (EN1021-2) with the addition of Crib 5 (BS5852: 2006).  Including soft furnishings fabrics which have been thoroughly tested to make sure they meet all of the necessary fire safety standards - we supply a huge range of both inherently flame retardant (up to BS5867 Part 2 type B and C) and treated fabric ranges (BS5867 Pt 2 type B). All of which are ideally suited for use in healthcare environments along with hotels and other public buildings.

An important thing to note is that domestic furniture doesn’t have to follow all the same guidelines as contract furniture when it comes to fire safety. Add this to the fact that some major retailers have recently recalled certain upholstery items due to them not meeting fire regulations and you’ll want to make sure you are purchasing your furniture from a contract furniture manufacturer, such as Barons keeping you, your residents and visitors as safe as possible.

We offer a wide range of fabrics from all the industry-leading fabric suppliers in a variety of colours and designs, to help you choose the perfect look. We take great pride in our fabric ranges providing smart fabrics ranges – as well as fire-retardant fabrics, including fabrics with anti-microbial properties to help reduce the spread of bacteria and maintain high levels of cleanliness.
