Locker room bench seating select seating for changing rooms

 

When choosing changing room bench seating it is very important to select the correct seating for the environment the seating is being located. If you select the correct locker room bench seating it will provide years of good service, select the wrong seating and it will at best be overpriced and at worst fail to perform extremely quickly. The main item to consider when choosing bench seating is whether the changing room is wet, filled with stram if the water contains chlorine it will make the environment more aggressive.

If you want to prevent rust then the only seating that will provide trouble free use in an aggressive environment including outdoors and industrial environments is plastic bench seating. Plastic bench seating is robust easy to clean and hard wearing. it is usually available in a small number of bright colours with the option of cream. Seating length is usually available in lengths from 1m to 2m though it is common for custom lengths to be available.

Plastic hook boards usually available in lengths from 1m to 2mm long, ideal for use with island plastic seating

Once you move away from plastic bench seating rust will always be an issue, stainless steel seating will be the best option though this is very expensive and is not completely rust free.

Most steel seating that is sold as wet specification will rely on plating the best being zink plating. The plating to make it effective should be done after the seating has been welded. This method relies on the seating then being painted the best being Plascoat a non-brittle form of epoxi powder coating. Plascote reduces chipping and cracking of the painted surface.

Seating slats the best product for wet areas are compact grade laminate such as Formica or Arpa this material will not rot or degrade easily by chlorine or water and is very hard wearing.

Ash slats are effective as long as water is not directly being sprayed directly on the slats, this seating magtrial is as good as the varnish applied.

Custom lockers for Monier Redland

Custom lockers for Monier Redland new changing room

Moiner Redland was upgrading their staff changing rooms in Wigan and needed to install new lockers. They had specific storage requirements, the lockers needed to have the following features.

• Separate storage space that can be accessed by the laundry company for storing clean overalls.
• Storage for staff personal items and hanging space for coats.
• Single door to open both top and bottom compartment
• Additional shelf in the bottom compartment
• The top of the locker should be free from clutter
Space in the changing room was limited they needed to fit into the room sufficient lockers and seating. They also wanted to keep staff belongings inside the lockers and prevent them from storing items on top of the lockers.
Locker specification

We specified a solution to meet their requirements the lockers were two compartments with one small door at the top of the locker for storing clean overalls which can be accessed by the laundry company with one key to open all lockers. The lower larger compartment is used for storing employees personal items. The storage has a hanging rail with two coat hooks and an additional shelf at the bottom. When the staff door is opened, it opens both the top and bottom compartments. To eliminate separate bench seating we provided the lockers with seat stands, the seats manufactured from a single slat of compact grade laminate. To prevent items being stored on top of the lockers we manufactured the lockers with sloping tops.
If you have a specific changing room project you would like us to provide a Custom lockers solution to then you can contact the Total Locker Service team on 01284 749211.

Poolside bench seating for Hucknall pool

Bench seating

Removable poolside bench seating at Hucknall pool

Hucknall pool chooses removable poolside plastic seating

The refurbishment of poolside seating at Hucknall swimming pool was carried out by Total Locker Service in summer 2013. Dave Gedling, Facilities Manager wanted to renew the existing stepped poolside seating and was keen to recreate a high-class professional ‘sporty’ look, while being assured of a product that could easily be removed for regular cleaning, with a long life and for a reasonable cost – tall order!

The original seating was purpose made stadium seating designed so that it could be removed for cleaning. The seating consisted of 3 plastic slates mounted on a small frame work. The seating being mounted on top of a number of tiled steps allowing 4 rows of spectators seated along pool side.

Total Locker Service always looks for solutions to meets its customer’s aspirations, and this time it was no different.  A range of different seating products was considered, but in this case it soon became clear that one particular product stood out from every other.

The challenges for the product were that the seating was in a wet, warm chlorinated environment, in constant use in addition to the requirement that the seating must be removable for regular cleaning, and then securely locked down when back in use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was quickly decided not to select ash hardwood bench slats, due to the fact that it soon loses it beautiful appearance under heavy wear in a warm, wet environment in public areas. So the decision was for thermoplastic seating, which comes in brightly coloured slats and does not degrade.  And the winning factor was that Total Locker developed a system for quick slat removal and replacement, using stainless steel fixings invisible to the public eye that with one swivel would release the slats, and then lock them back into place after cleaning the area. And all this for a reasonable cost.

Once the planning and testing of the product were complete, Total Locker worked closely with pool management so that the seating could be installed at night, so as not to disturb pool summer activities.

More about our thermoplastic changing room seating:

This comes as standard lengths: 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm and 2000mm in a variety of styles: standard bench seat with shelf under,  and single and double-sided bench seats with hook boards. Bespoke styles are always available, and delivery is normally within 10 days.

Bench seating, how to select the most appropriate and cost effective.

Bench seating

Bench seating, how to select the most appropriate and cost effective.

Selecting bench seating is all about understanding the environment the seating is to be installed in and the construction of the room walls. Once this has been established it will narrow down the options available to you.

If the changing area where the seating is to be installed has high humidity and showers then you will need to consider corrosion. If the areas are for food preparation, food industry changing rooms, clean rooms or pharmaceutical use then cleaning the seating will be important and you may want to consider stainless steel or plastic construction, disassembly to allow a thorough clean may be something you will need to consider. For standard dry changing areas the construction and robustness of the seating is more likely to be an issue and for the economy and clean lines wall to floor and cantilever seating should also be a consideration. Wall to floor searing is a cost effective solution when used as perimeter seating in conjunction with a hook board, this is by far the most economical solution and very robust, the seating slats are usually supplied in random lengths and cut to size on site providing good looking seating with clean lines.

Cantilever seating is also a good option when easy and thorough cleaning of the floor under the seating is important and there are no brackets fastened directly to the floor, for both wall to floor seating and cantilever seating wall construction must be substantial enough to provide an adequate fixing.

The main construction materials for changing room seating are mild steel in the form of welded sections, stainless steel as fabrications or welded sections, plastic and to a lesser degree aluminium. The mild steel welded sections are often zinc coated before painting and often a special powder coating paint called plascoat is used to provide a more chip resistant coating. Stainless steel is usually supplied self-coloured in a polished or brushed finish, plastic is available in a variety of colours as part of the extrusion proses and aluminium is often anodised. For standard dry specification, bench seating powder paint is the usually used.
Standard bench seating is usually available in the following forms, wall island bench seating, single sided bench seating with integral hook board, double sided bench seating with integral hook board, wall to floor bench seating and cantilever bench seating. Free standing hook board that can be secured to the perimeter wall of a room is usually available as part of a range of bench seating. Both cantilever and wall to floor seating is restricted to the perimeter of the room as it must be fastened to a subtle wall, this is often used in conjunction with a free standing hook board. Wall island seating and single sided bench seating with integrated hook boards and be used around the perimeter of a room or away from a wall to break up and control the room space available whereas double sided bench seating with integrated hook board is restricted to being an island unit protruding from a wall or in the middle of a room.
Budget seating, wall to floor, cantilever and plastic seating are more likely to be provided as a flat pack unit the remainder of the seating are more likely to be supplied assembled.
Most forms of seating can be assembled and installed by someone with basic DIY skills, Cantilever and wall to floor seating require a much higher skill level as cutting of slats, marking out bracket positions, drilling walls is usually required, ensuring the seating is at the correct high and level is a must.
So now you have some information about bench seating you may want to see what is on offer, Total bench seating has a wide range of budget bench seating that is stocked for 300mm deep seating in standard lengths of 1, 1.2, 1.5 and 2m lengths which can normally be dispatched next day, they also provide wet area seating and seating deeper that 300mm on a two week lead-time.
