Why use a fire retardant spray finish?

At Absolute Furniture Spraying, we put a strong emphasis on not only creating a stunning, elegant finish in whatever sheen your project requires, but also on providing a finish that meets current regulations regarding fire safety.

Our reasons for ensuring this high level of fire safety, and why we’d recommend using our fire retardant spray finishes across your spray finishing projects, are:

  • To stay within the law

    In short, the building regulations in England and Wales demand that buildings:

    1. Provide adequate escape routes for occupants
    2. Provide adequate access to the fire brigade
    3. Restrict and Prevent the spread of fire to neighbouring properties
    4. Restrict and Prevent the spread of fire throughout

    Focussing on regulations iii. and iv. above, regarding the prevention of fire spreading throughout the property, and to neighbouring properties, by ensuring your furniture, and doors etc., are finished in our fire retardant coatings, you, and/or your contractors, are better able to meet these specific building regulations.

  • To preserve life

    The importance of preserving life and preventing serious injury as a result of fire, cannot be understated and is something we at Absolute Furniture Spraying take extremely seriously. That’s why, all our fire retardant spray finishes, and spraying methods meet the necessary requirements of:

    • BS 476: Part 6: 1989 & Part 7: 1997 Compliance with the Requirements for Class 1 & Class 0 Surfaces - In brief, this British Standard regulation is designed to measure how a finish on furniture or fire doors etc. will behave in a fire, taking into account:

      • Emissions produced
      • Ignitability
      • Heat release
      • Smoke production

    • FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association) Standard 6250:2005 - A strict regulation set out by FIRA (Furniture Industry Research Association) referring to how fire spreads across horizontal surfaces, such as kitchen surfaces or the tops of bathroom cabinets and units etc.

  • To create a superior finish

    As with all our spray finishes at Absolute Furniture Spraying, our range of fire retardant coatings is designed to create a superior, long-lasting, durable, and attractive matt or gloss finish across all your furniture spraying projects.

    And, with a fast turnaround, a collection and delivery service, a state-of-the-art spraying booth, and competitive prices, you can’t go wrong with Absolute Furniture Spraying for all your fire retardant, and regular spray finishing projects.
