Do you really design and make Ironfire Industrial Furniture yourselves?

Show More ▾

All of our Ironfire Furniture is proudly designed and built in our Wiltshire workshops. Everything is custom-made to order from our modular components but we supply quickly. We also promise to keep in touch about delivery date of your table, racking, chair or lighting. The only items we outsource are the soft furnishings and glass for which our partners are selected very carefully to ensure they share our passion and drive for quality.

Do you use quality materials?

Show More ▾

We try to avoid hyperbole about what we do and be straightforward. We are however passionate about the quality of all materials and components that go into Ironfire Furniture. As far as possible everything we use is manufactured in the UK. Our metal frames are made from 3mm zinc galvanised steel and then powder coated with a textured anthracite/graphite finish, for a practical hard-wearing finish. All of the wood we use is Douglas Fir and sourced through FSC certified sustainable forests. Even our rust surfaces are natural. We use ferrous activation to create truly distinctive finishes and each one is truly unique. Our paints are UV stable and all water based so that we don’t use environmentally unfriendly VOCs.

Our aim is to supply you a piece of furniture that can last for ever if looked after.

Sustainability?

Show More ▾

Iron-fire has 5 simple, common sense principles for environmentally responsible sustainability.

Firstly make something to last. Secondly make every part exchangeable and upgradeable.

Thirdly make it out of renewable materials. Fourthly don’t use processes that require toxic ingredients.

Lastly make it locally to the market its sold in.

A final part of the jigsaw is not to make too much of a fuss about it, it’s just the way things should be.

How do I care for my Industrial Style Furniture?

Show More ▾

If you are using our furniture outside then make sure you keep the table covered when not in use. This prevents acidic deposits and dirt harming the surfaces. To clean your table use a solution of warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. This should suffice on both metal work and timber tops. We lacquer all wooden surfaces so the timber does not leave rings. In the event that the polished surface on an inside table is marked, simply apply some more polish and rebuff. If any component is deeply scratched or otherwise damaged please do contact us for replacement parts.

Steel

Galvanised steel has a zinc coating that increases the longevity and durability of your indoor or garden furniture while preventing corrosion. For light cleaning, simply wiping down the steel parts of your furniture with a damp cloth will reduce dirt and build up.
For a more intense clean, a nylon or plastic brush and detergent will remove any dirt.

Wood

Ironfire Industrial Furniture uses Douglas Fir. This probably has the best mix of hardy durability and sustainability as well as having interesting grain patterns. For indoor use, we use a natural polish which gives a deep sheen. It can be cleaned with a natural furniture polish to maintain the natural finish. For garden use, we varnish the table tops with a very tough water based resin to increase the longevity. The occasional use of a wood worm treatment can make the Douglas Fir last even longer, and cleaning with a non-abrasive gentle detergent will remove dirt.
We keep a record of all paint finishes for our customers so if a touch up is required, we can supply a paint match for your table top.

Cushions

The material used for our garden cushions is UV stable but keep out of direct sunlight as much as possible to prevent long-term fading. We recommend that you protect outside chairs with a cover to keep them clean and provide extra protection.
Outside cushions are sealed and so are not machine washable. However they are stain resistant and water proof so a gentle scrub should remove any dirt. The material used for our indoor cushions is 100% cotton, and is therefore machine washable although tumble drying and dry cleaning should both be avoided.
Plump regularly to maintain appearance and even distribution of filling and wear.

Do you have a showroom for your Industrial Furniture?

Show More ▾

This is the next exciting step in the Ironfire story. We’re currently planning a buried factory site that will be an ‘experience showcase’ for our clients to visit. It will allow them to see how our products are made, and become involved with the process first hand. Seamlessly and aesthetically merged into beautiful country surroundings with minimal impact on the environment we’ve put as much thought into this development as we have with our Ironfire Furniture. Until we have built this you are of course still welcome to visit us and we can promise that we’ll have the kettle on!
