General information only
Everything on this site is provided for general information and educational purposes. While we draw on many years of professional experience and aim to be accurate, we make no representations or warranties of any kind about the completeness, accuracy or suitability of the information for your particular project.
Not a substitute for professional judgement
Upholstery techniques, tools and materials carry real risks — sharp tools, staples, dust, adhesives and heavy frames among them. Follow the safety instructions for any tool or product you use, work within your ability, and if a job is beyond it, consult or hire a professional upholsterer. Any project you undertake is your responsibility and at your own risk.
Fire safety and regulations
Where we discuss foam, fillings, fire grades (such as CMHR or Crib 5) and fire regulations, this is general guidance, not legal or compliance advice. Fire-safety law — including the UK Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations — is detailed and changes over time, and stricter rules apply to furniture made or re-upholstered for sale, or for commercial and public settings. Always confirm the current regulations that apply to your work, and seek professional or legal advice for commercial projects.
Accuracy
We try to keep the site accurate and up to date, but we can’t guarantee it, and we’re not liable for any errors or omissions, or for any loss arising from reliance on the information. On important work, measure and test for yourself.
