Fire Retardent (FR) Chemicals

We adopt a prudent stance on chemicals, adding them only when absolutely essential. Fleming & Howland integrates flame retardants minimally, ensuring at the very least to meet legal requirements like The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988. This UK legislation ensures that furniture components and composites provided in the UK achieve set ignition resistance standards and carry the appropriate labels.

Further information on the legislation which we must adhere to can be found here. There is nothing in this legislation that implies any harmful chemicals are used. There are many different types of FR products within the upholstery trade and so if there are any specific chemicals you are concerned with please contact us so we may offer further advice.
