Contempo Gold range fire extinguisher returns for 50th year
CheckFire has reintroduced the Gold finish in its PFAS-free Contempo fire extinguisher range to mark the company’s 50th anniversary and support design-led environments where aesthetics and compliance must align.
According to the fire safety supplier, the revised Gold option is positioned as an industry first that combines high performance, PFAS-free credentials and a contemporary appearance for mandatory fire safety equipment.
The relaunched units are aimed at designers, facilities managers and fire safety professionals who need extinguishers that satisfy regulatory requirements while contributing to the overall look of a space.
CheckFire stated that the Gold finish has been developed to work within contemporary offices and retail locations, hospitality and wedding venues and historical sites where visual integration is a priority.
The company added that the refreshed range is intended for projects where both interior character and environmental considerations are taken into account at specification stage.
Contempo Gold fire extinguisher range relaunch
CheckFire reported that the updated Contempo Gold range is now entirely PFAS free across all models.
The portfolio covers CO2, foam, water and powder units alongside a newly introduced 3 litre PFAS-free wet chemical fire extinguisher.
The new wet chemical model carries an 8A 75F rating for its compact size and is positioned as a premium option for hospitality settings that require Class F fire protection.
The supplier said the full range is UKCA and CE approved.
It added that the portfolio delivers high fire ratings in line with its premium positioning.
By removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances from the Gold finish line-up, CheckFire stated that the range supports an environmentally responsible approach to fire safety while retaining performance expectations.
Finish, settings and coordinated accessories
CheckFire highlighted that the reintroduced Gold finish now uses a deeper, richer colour tone than the previous version.
The revised appearance is described as providing a warmer profile intended to sit alongside high-end interior schemes.
The company indicated that the range is suited to contemporary offices, retail environments, hospitality and wedding venues and heritage locations where visual coherence is important.
Matching fire extinguisher identification signs and tubular stands are available to support a consistent presentation when the units are installed.
These accessories are designed to maintain a minimal aesthetic while ensuring equipment remains clearly identified and accessible.
Josh Marshall, Product Manager at CheckFire, commented: “We are delighted to bring the much-loved Gold finish back to the Contempo range.
“It’s now deeper in colour and manufactured to a high-quality standard, and, importantly, it’s much more in line with the expectations of prestigious interior spaces.
“By combining PFAS-free credentials with a finish that has become something of a design icon in its own right, we’re setting a new benchmark for how fire safety can enhance the overall aesthetic of a space.”
CheckFire noted that the wider Contempo range is also available in a stainless steel finish for schemes where that appearance is preferred.
Design-led PFAS-free extinguishers for interior projects
Architects, interior designers and facility managers working on offices, retail schemes, hospitality venues and historical sites can use the relaunched Contempo Gold range where interior appearance is a key consideration alongside fire safety compliance.
The deeper Gold finish and coordinated accessories allow project teams to position fire extinguishers and associated signage in prominent locations without compromising the visual approach of premium environments.
Fire safety officers, equipment specifiers and procurement teams gain an additional PFAS-free option covering CO2, foam, water, powder and wet chemical units when planning extinguisher schedules for mixed-use or high-end sites.
The inclusion of a compact 3 litre wet chemical extinguisher with an 8A 75F rating provides a Class F solution that aligns with the rest of the Gold line, which may simplify selection for hospitality projects.
Installers and contractors can standardise on a single aesthetic across multiple agent types while retaining UKCA and CE approvals and stated high fire ratings from the supplier.
