Fire-Retardant Upholstery

Contract rooms need the right specification — not a domestic leftover

Fire-retardant

Fire-retardant upholstery is about matching the cloth and composites to the room, not about a sticker for its own sake. Restaurants, hotels, offices and some HMOs have rules; a family living room usually does not. We flag FR and contract grades when the brief needs them, and we will not dress a domestic sofa as a contract job to sell a more expensive roll.

The right conversation includes the use of the space, any landlord or insurer notes you already have, and whether a specific standard is actually being asked for. Guessing is how people fail an inspection later.

Hospitality seating — Contract and FR materials discussed where the room requires them

Hayes is the bench. Covers come off here. If a job is better measured or fitted on site, we will say so — we will not pretend every sofa can be recovered in a hallway.

What this actually includes

Explained, not just listed.

Use check

Is this a public room, staff room, or a family sofa?

Spec talk

FR fabrics and composites discussed against what you have been asked to meet.

Matching the set

A contract run stays on contract cloth, not a mixed leftover.

Documentation

We work from what you can show us, not from a rumour about the law.

How the job runs

From photos to a piece you can sit on.

A clear path from first pictures to workshop finish — so you always know what happens next.

Quick answers

Questions people actually ask.

No. A family living room and a restaurant are different. We will not scare-sell it.

Not as a magic spray-on for every cloth. Suitable fabrics and composites are specified properly.

No. We will not paper over the wrong specification.
