Single-Sided Plastic Bench Seat with Hook Board

Single-Sided Plastic Bench Seating with Hook Board

This single-sided plastic bench combines changing-room seating and accessible coat hooks within one coordinated unit.

The configuration is designed for positioning alongside a wall or around the perimeter of a changing room. It provides users with a place to sit while keeping coats, bags, uniforms and changing-room clothing within convenient reach.

It is particularly useful where seating and hanging space need to be provided together without installing a separate wall-mounted hook board. Full dimensions, materials, colours and product options are provided in the Specification section.

Combine Seating and Hanging Space

Bringing the seat and hook board together creates a dedicated changing position for each group of users. Coats, bags and clothing can be hung directly above the seating area rather than being placed on the seat or surrounding floor.

• Provides seating and coat hooks within one unit
• Keeps clothing and personal belongings close to the user
• Reduces the need for a separate wall-mounted coat rail
• Supports an organised changing-room arrangement
• Can be used as a single unit or as part of a longer bench run

Planning a Perimeter Bench Layout

Measure the usable wall and floor space before selecting the bench length. The complete layout should provide enough room for users to sit, change footwear and reach the coat hooks without obstructing surrounding access routes.

• Measure the clear wall length available
• Allow space in front of the bench for seated users
• Consider doors, windows, radiators and other obstructions
• Check the position of electrical fittings and building services
• Allow sufficient height for clothing and bags hung from the hooks
• Maintain appropriate access and escape routes

Where several benches are required, their lengths can be planned as a continuous run or divided between different walls according to the room layout.

Positioning Bench Seating with Lockers

Single-sided benches can be positioned beside or opposite locker runs to create a practical changing area. Allow sufficient clearance for locker doors to open fully and for users to access their compartments while other people are seated.

• Check the direction and width of locker-door openings
• Avoid positioning seating directly across narrow doorways
• Provide sufficient space between opposing benches and lockers
• Consider expected user numbers during busy periods
• Keep access to cleaning and maintenance areas available

Single-Sided or Double-Sided Bench Seating?

A single-sided bench is generally suited to wall and perimeter positions. It places the seating and hook board on one side of the frame and can be incorporated into a changing-room layout alongside lockers or other wall furniture.

Where seating is required in the centre of a larger changing room, a double-sided plastic bench may provide access from both sides.

Choosing the Bench Length

Select a length that fits the available wall space while providing enough seating and hanging positions for the expected number of users. For larger changing rooms, several shorter units may provide more layout flexibility than one continuous bench.

Consider delivery access before ordering. Longer bench components must be able to pass through external doors, corridors, stairways and internal doorways before reaching the installation area.

Available measurements and colour choices are shown in the Specification section and the product selectors above.

Single-Sided Plastic Bench Seat Specification

This single-sided changing-room bench combines a plastic seat, integrated coat hook board and lower storage shelf within one unit. It is manufactured from waterproof PVC and aluminium components for use in wet and dry changing areas.

Select the required bench length and frame colour using the product options above. Full standard dimensions, construction details and available finishes are shown below.

Available Plastic Bench Lengths

Available Frame Colours

PVC and Aluminium Construction

The bench uses waterproof PVC and aluminium components to provide a corrosion-resistant alternative to conventional timber or untreated steel changing-room seating.

• Suitable for areas exposed to moisture and humidity
• Does not require painting, varnishing or sealing
• Designed for regular cleaning
• Specified as resistant to salt and many acids
• Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures
• Low-maintenance construction for shared facilities

Where the bench will be exposed to a particular chemical, concentrated cleaning product or unusually high or low temperature, confirm material compatibility before ordering.

Integrated Undershelf

A storage shelf is positioned beneath the seat. It provides a separate location for footwear, bags and other changing-room items while keeping the seating surface available for users.

The undershelf forms part of the product specification and should be considered when checking the available floor space and cleaning access.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The plastic bench can be washed down as part of the facility's normal cleaning routine. Where a more thorough clean is required, the product can be disassembled to improve access to individual components.

• Remove loose dirt and surface deposits regularly
• Use cleaning products suitable for PVC and aluminium
• Inspect the seat, shelf and coat hooks during routine cleaning
• Check connections and fixings periodically
• Replace damaged components before returning the bench to use
• Follow the site's cleaning and safety procedures

Reduced-Height Seating for Schools

Reduced-height plastic bench seating is available for schools and younger users. The required seat height should be confirmed before ordering because the reduced-height dimensions are not listed within the standard product options on this page.
