Staron Solid Surface Collection Achieves Full Class B Fire Rating Certification


Blackheath, the exclusive UK distributor or Staron solid surfaces, is proud to announce that the entire Staron solid surface collection has achieved a Class B Fire Rating Certification. Previously, only the white decors within the Staron range held this level of fire rating, while the remaining colours were classified as Class C. This significant upgrade means that the entire selection of Staron decors now meet the Class B standard, reflecting the brand's ongoing commitment to product safety and performance. 

What does a Class B Fire Rating mean?

In the realm of building and construction, fire safety is a paramount consideration. Fire ratings, such as Class B and Class C, indicate how a material reacts to fire, which in turn influences how it can be used in various environments. Materials classified as Class B demonstrate low flammability, significantly limiting the spread of fire, smoke and toxic fumes in comparison to Class C-rated materials. This makes Class B surfaces highly suitable for commercial and residential applications where safety is a top priority, such as kitchens, healthcare facilities and other public areas where fire resilience is essential. 

The Impact of Staron's new Certification

The upgrade to a full Class B Fire Rating across all Staron decors enhances the versatility and safety of this surface, making it an ideal choice for architects, fabricators and designers who are focused on robust, compliant materials. The certification aligns with the latest standards and provides peace of mind to professionals specifying Staron for projects that require stringent fire safety standards. 

Spencer Dunnett, an experienced figure in the solid surface industry, shared his enthusiasm for this certification milestone. "Achieving a uniform Class B-rating across the entire Staron collection speaks volumes to the quality and reliability of our offerings. This advancements allows us to provide a more cohesive, safety-orientated selection, enhancing design freedom without compromising on compliance."
