Frequently asked questions
Why is the KAB Director the most popular 24-hour office chair?
The KAB Director is a market leader because it balances heavy-duty performance with a versatile design that fits almost any body type. Certified for 24-hour continuous use, it is rated for up to 200kg (31 stone) and features a reinforced steel frame. Its long-standing reputation for reliability makes it the primary choice for emergency services, control rooms, and executive offices globally.
How does the inflatable lumbar pump work on the KAB Director?
Unlike standard chairs with fixed support, the KAB Director includes an inflatable lumbar pump. This allows the user to manually adjust the pressure in the lower backrest using a hand bulb. This ensures a precise, bespoke fit that can be adjusted instantly throughout a shift to alleviate lower back pain and maintain spinal health.
What weight range does the KAB Director tilt system support?
The proprietary KAB Tilt System is highly adjustable, accommodating a wide user range from 50kg up to 200kg. Using the side-mounted rotary controls, you can fine-tune the tension of the recline to match your body weight, providing a balanced, effortless movement that encourages regular posture changes.
What type of fabric is used on the KAB Director All Fabric model?
The chair is upholstered in premium Camira Xtreme fabric, a high-performance recycled polyester. It is specifically designed for intensive use, featuring a high Martindale rub count (100,000+ cycles) and superior flame retardancy. It provides a breathable, durable surface that stays comfortable through long shifts.
Is the fabric version easy to maintain in a busy office?
Yes. Camira Xtreme is a very resilient material that resists pilling and is easy to vacuum. For any accidental spills, it can be cleaned with standard upholstery shampoos, making it a practical choice for high-traffic workstations.
Why choose a leather finish for a 24-hour chair?
Leather is often selected for shared 24/7 environments because it is wipe-clean and highly hygienic. It allows for easy sanitisation between staff shift changes and offers a prestigious, executive appearance that develops a unique character over time while remaining incredibly durable.
Which KAB Director model is right for my needs?
The KAB Director All Fabric is the ideal choice for most professional office environments, offering maximum breathability and a wide range of colour options. If your chair will be used in a shared 24/7 environment where multi-user hygiene is a priority, the Leather version is recommended for its easy-to-clean surface and premium executive finish.
