Great question! Safety is obviously a top priority, and I’m glad you’re asking.
Yes, many of our benches are designed with fire-resistant materials to meet both commercial and residential safety standards. For the upholstered models, we typically use high-density polyurethane foam that is treated with flame-retardant chemicals, often meeting California Technical Bulletin 117 (TB117) standards. This foam significantly reduces the rate of ignition and prevents rapid flame spread in case of accidental exposure to heat or open flames.
For outdoor benches, we often incorporate powder-coated steel or aluminum frames, which are naturally non-combustible. The wood we use—like treated pine or HDPE recycled lumber—also has fire-retardant properties. In our all-weather commercial models, we can even add a fire-resistant inner lining between the foam and the upholstery fabric for an extra layer of protection.
That said, I should be transparent: no material is 100% fireproof. But we comply with rigorous industry standards (like ASTM E84 for flame spread), and we always specify fire-rated materials by request. If your project requires a specific code compliance for a hospital, school, or public facility, just let me know which model you’re interested in—I can provide the exact fire-resistance rating for that bench.
Would you like me to check on a specific design for you?
