Fire safety supplier CheckFire announces the reintroduction of the Gold finish within its premium Contempo fire extinguisher range. Relaunched to mark the firm’s 50th anniversary, the new-look offering is an industry first and combines high performance and PFAS-free green credentials with a contemporary aesthetic, ensuring mandatory fire safety equipment can complement design-led environments.
Following the continued success of the Contempo portfolio, the refreshed Gold range is entirely PFAS free and available across CO2, foam, water, powder, and the newly introduced 3ltr PFAS-free wet chemical fire extinguisher. It has been specifically curated for designers, facilities managers, and fire safety professionals seeking equipment that delivers both compliance and aesthetic appeal while leaving a greener footprint.
Key features of the updated Contempo Gold range include:
- A deeper, richer finish: The new colourway offers a more luxury, warmer tone compared to the previous finish, ensuring the units sit harmoniously within high-end interiors such as contemporary offices and retail spaces, hospitality and wedding venues, and historical sites.
- Entirely PFAS free: Marking an industry first, the Contempo range is manufactured without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, supporting an environmentally responsible approach to fire safety while maintaining high performance and befitting the finest interiors.
- New 3ltr wet chemical fire extinguisher: Now featuring in the Contempo portfolio, this model delivers a high-performance 8A 75F rating for its compact size and offers a premium solution for hospitality settings requiring Class F fire protection.
- Best-in-class performance: The range is UKCA and CE approved, and offers high fire ratings.
- Coordinated accessories: Matching fire extinguisher ID signs and tubular stands for mounting create a cohesive look for environments in which fire safety remains a priority but aesthetic minimalism is key.

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.”
