Safety in smoking areas 

The UK smoking ban came into effect in 2007 and since then, designated smoking areas have been created in various establishments across the nation, ranging from outdoor shelters to comfy cushioned areas.

Smoking around cushions can come with risk and, in 2017, 150 people in London alone were injured in smoking related fires (https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/news/2018-news/stoptober-firefighters-urge-smokers-to-vape-to-prevent-fires/). So, keep your customers safe in your outdoor smoking areas and be sure to deck out your establishment with LOFAssured cushions, containing fire retardant foams and fillings.

The LOFAssured initiative raisesawareness of fire safety standards/regulations for garden furniture cushioning. The cushions available from LOFA (Leisure and Outdoor Furniture Association) members adhere to a strict code of conduct, part of which is rigorous testing and compliance with all current fire safety regulations.
