Thank you for your important question regarding the safety of our public spaces. When it comes to our urban benches, fire resistance is a critical factor in our material selection and design process. We prioritize both public safety and long-term durability.
The primary materials we use—such as powder-coated steel frames, reinforced concrete bases, and specially treated wood or recycled plastic slats—are chosen for their inherent or enhanced fire-resistant properties. These materials typically achieve fire resistance ratings that comply with stringent international standards for outdoor street furniture, such as Class A or Class 1 ratings, which indicate limited flame spread and low smoke production.
Specifically, our metallic components are non-combustible, while our concrete elements provide excellent fire containment. For any wooden elements, we use pressure-treated lumber or composite materials infused with fire-retardant chemicals that significantly slow ignition and burning. This multi-material approach ensures that our benches contribute to a safer urban environment, minimizing fire hazards in parks, transit stations, and pedestrian zones.
Ultimately, our commitment is to deliver street furniture that is not only aesthetically pleasing and comfortable but also rigorously tested for safety, giving communities and city planners greater peace of mind.
