At Benchsmiths, quality and safety are our top priorities, which is why we exclusively use CRIB 5 compliant materials in all our commercial upholstery projects. But what exactly is CRIB 5, and why is it so important?
CRIB 5 is a fire safety standard required for upholstery used in high-risk, commercial environments such as hospitals, hotels, and offices. It ensures that the materials are more resistant to ignition and flames, providing an added layer of protection in the event of a fire. This compliance is not just a preference; it’s a legal requirement in many industries, helping to ensure the safety of both employees and customers.
For us, using CRIB 5 materials guarantees that our clients receive upholstery that meets the highest safety standards, offering durability and peace of mind. Whether it’s for healthcare settings like NHS Grampian or other commercial spaces, we believe in providing upholstery that doesn’t just look great but is also built to keep people safe.
