Crib 5 FR Upholstery Fabric Collection

Shop Crib 5 FR upholstery fabric for interiors where fire performance, comfort and design all matter. This Saint & Poet collection brings together upholstery fabrics tagged for Crib 5 fire rated use, with richly patterned velvet designs suitable for statement chairs, banquettes, headboards, cushions and commercial seating.

Our velvet basecloth is Crib 5 fire rated for upholstery, having passed BS 5852:2006 Clause 11 Source 5 testing. That makes this collection especially useful for designers, upholsterers and hospitality buyers looking for decorative fabric with a stronger fire performance story than standard domestic upholstery cloth.

Crib 5 fire rated upholstery fabric for contract interiors

Crib 5, also searched as Source 5 or BS 5852 Source 5, is an important consideration for many contract and commercial upholstery projects. These designs are well suited to boutique hotels, restaurants, bars, members clubs, office lounges and residential schemes where a higher fire rating is required by the project brief.

The collection currently focuses on Saint & Poet velvet upholstery designs, combining the soft handle and depth of pile associated with velvet with expressive pattern, colour and interior-led artwork. If your project specifically calls for velvet, browse the more focused Crib 5 FR velvet fabric collection.

Choosing the right Crib 5 upholstery fabric

When selecting fire rated upholstery fabric, consider more than the test result alone. Colour, pattern scale, pile direction, rub performance and the shape of the furniture all affect the finished piece. Larger motifs can create a strong focal point on headboards and banquettes, while smaller repeats can work beautifully on dining chairs, cushions and compact occasional seating.

For wider browsing, you can also explore our main luxury designer upholstery fabric collection or our velvet upholstery fabric collection. We recommend ordering samples before committing to metreage, especially for commercial upholstery schemes where colour, handle and scale need to be judged in the final interior.
