Frequently asked questions
What makes the KAB Controller suitable for 24-hour use?
The KAB Controller is specifically engineered for demanding environments like surveillance hubs and emergency call centres. Unlike standard office chairs, it is 24-hour certified and hand-built with a robust steel frame and a 30-stone rated gas lift. Its high-density, body-contoured cushions are designed to maintain their shape and support through continuous shift work without degrading.
What is the weight capacity of the KAB Controller chair?
The KAB Controller is a heavy-duty seating solution rated for users up to 190kg (approximately 31 stone). It features a reinforced KAB 5-star black aluminium base and a heavy-duty gas lift to ensure complete stability for larger users in intensive, around-the-clock environments.
How does the KAB Tilt System benefit the user?
The proprietary KAB Tilt System encourages "active sitting" by allowing for regular posture changes. It features side-mounted rotary controls that let you adjust the tilt tension to match your body weight (from 50kg up to 200kg). This ensures the chair provides the right amount of resistance whether you prefer a locked position or a "free-float" rocking motion to reduce spinal compression.
Why is leather often chosen for 24/7 control room environments?
Black leather is the traditional choice for high-intensity environments because it is exceptionally easy to clean and maintain. In 24/7 settings where chairs are shared between different staff members across shifts, the wipe-clean nature of leather offers a more hygienic and professional solution.
Does the leather version offer the same ergonomic features as the fabric model?
Yes. The leather KAB Controller includes all the same premium ergonomic features, including the height-adjustable headrest, tip-up armrests with 30-degree tilt adjustment, and integrated lumbar support.
Which KAB Controller model is right for my workplace?
The right choice depends on your environment and maintenance preferences. The KAB Controller All Fabric is ideal for general offices where breathability and colour choice are priorities. The KAB Controller Black Leather is the best option for 24/7 shared environments where hygiene and easy "wipe-down" cleaning are essential. The KAB Controller Whiteline is recommended for executive or high-end office spaces where you want the legendary KAB durability combined with a more sophisticated, tailored aesthetic.
