Thank you for your important question about fire resistance ratings for our outdoor benches. We take fire safety very seriously, especially for furniture designed for commercial and public spaces.
Our premium outdoor benches are tested and certified to meet ASTM E84 Class A fire resistance standards, which is the highest rating for surface burning characteristics. This means our benches have:
- Flame spread index of 25 or less
- Smoke development index of 450 or less
- Self-extinguishing properties that prevent fire from spreading
We achieve these ratings through our specialized manufacturing process that uses:
- Fire-retardant treated wood and aluminum frames
- Non-combustible metal components
- Specially formulated powder coatings that resist ignition
- Dense, slow-burning hardwood options
These features make our benches particularly suitable for:
- High-risk areas like amusement parks and stadiums
- Wildfire-prone regions
- Public spaces with strict fire codes
- Areas near building exits and pathways
For specific projects, we can provide detailed technical data sheets and certification documents to help with your compliance requirements. Would you like information about a particular bench model or installation environment?
