Guest The Dance Space Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Hi. I am kitting out a public arts building and theatre with furniture. I am commissioning a local wood store to make reclaimed tables and chairs out of wood and metal only for the public to use when they are waitinf ro a dance class or show. Will they need to be sprayed with fire retardant spray/ or treated and do I require the seller/ maker to give me some kind of cerificate that states the fire retartancy? Ive tried googling it and cannot find any info. Thanks Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Providing the furniture has no upholstery then standard paints or varnishes may be used the only proviso is the number of coats, no more than four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S D Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Hi there- do you know if wooden futon frames are treated with or have to be treated with any fire retardant chemicals or is it just the mattress that needs to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Timber bed frames do not need to be treated but the mattresses are subject to Fire safety of furniture and furnishings in the contract and non-domestic sectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
