At Craftmaster Furniture, we are dedicated to ensuring that our products meet the highest safety standards for your home. We are proud to be a UFAC Make Life Safer Plus (Green Tag) furniture manufacturer, demonstrating our commitment to consumer safety and the environment.

What is UFAC and Why is it Important?

The Upholstered Furniture Action Council (UFAC) was established in 1978 to help reduce the risk of residential fires caused by upholstered furniture. UFAC works closely with furniture manufacturers, regulatory agencies, and safety organizations to ensure that upholstery products meet rigorous safety guidelines, particularly regarding fire safety.

One of the primary reasons UFAC is important is that upholstered furniture can be highly flammable, contributing to the spread of residential fires if not properly treated. UFAC-compliant manufacturers like Craftmaster follow voluntary standards that have been proven to reduce the likelihood of furniture being involved in a fire-related incident. This means peace of mind for consumers who can trust that their furniture is designed with safety in mind.

By adhering to UFAC guidelines, we are not only protecting our customers but also doing our part to contribute to safer living environments across the country.

What Does "Make Life Safer Plus" (Green Tag) Mean?

The "Make Life Safer Plus" (Green Tag) designation represents the highest tier of safety certification provided by UFAC. It signifies that our furniture not only meets basic safety standards but exceeds them, particularly in the area of fire retardancy. This certification is awarded to manufacturers who use materials and construction techniques that reduce the risk of fires starting or spreading in the home.

Key aspects of the Make Life Safer Plus (Green Tag) program include:

• Enhanced Fire Resistance: Our upholstery materials are selected and tested to provide superior resistance to ignition from sources like cigarettes, which are a leading cause of furniture-related fires.
• Sustainability: As part of this certification, we use eco-friendly materials that are free from harmful chemicals, ensuring that our furniture is not only safe but also sustainable for the environment.
• Quality Control: Craftmaster Furniture undergoes stringent quality control checks to ensure that every piece produced under this program meets the high safety standards required by UFAC.

Choosing furniture with the Make Life Safer Plus (Green Tag) gives you the confidence that you’re investing in products that are designed to minimize risks, protect your home, and contribute to a safer, greener planet.

At Craftmaster, safety isn't just a requirement—it's a commitment to your well-being and comfort.
