HDB-Compliant Smart Furniture: MRETTY's Vision for Singaporean Living

In Singapore’s dynamic housing landscape, HDB-compliant smart furniture has emerged as a cornerstone of modern living. At MRETTY, we specialize in crafting modular, sustainable, and tech-integrated furniture that aligns with HDB’s stringent guidelines while elevating residential spaces. This article explores our innovative solutions, supported by real-world applications and cutting-edge material science tailored for Singapore’s iconic public housing.

The Essentials of HDB-Compliant Smart Design

Balancing Functionality and Regulatory Compliance

Singapore’s HDB flats demand furniture that maximizes limited space while adhering to fire safety and durability standards. Our ENF-certified OSB panels (formaldehyde ≤0.025mg/m³) meet HDB’s fire-retardant requirements (BS 5852:2006) and feature a cross-laminated structure to resist warping—a critical factor in Singapore’s humid climate.
