Metal seating particularly aluminium is an excellent solution for grandstands where
seats have exposure to the sun and elements along with throngs of people on a regular basis. Even grandstands that are covered are perfect candidates for aluminium seats as they are so easy to clean and require very little maintenance whilst staying new looking for years.
Stainless steel is also used in many applications however aluminium continues to grow rapidly as a preferred seating material in outdoor areas across the world due to the many benefits it offers.
Aluminium seating is lightweight and is flexible such that it can be configured in many ways depending on the situation and the needs of the venue. For example individual seats can be bolted to concrete floors in playgrounds or swimming centres or they can be left free standing. As free standing seats they can be moved to any location as they are so light and can be stored for future use within club- houses, garages and so on.
Spectator seating such as grandstands or bleachers are also as flexible with permanent configuration available with bolt down requirements as well as more flexible bleachers or grandstands that can be configured to be on wheels for easy movement if required. Spectators at these venues require clean and comfortable seating and also large groups need to be accommodated at one time. Hence, venues can be empty for periods and then fill at pre-arranged times for various scheduled events. Therefore, these seats need to be robust, need to be able to be cleaned quickly and easily, need to stay looking good for long periods of time and need very little maintenance in order to make them cost viable. The old days of timber seating is almost dead as timber required lots of maintenance, had shorter life cycles particularly in outdoor environments and were costly.
In either situation the advantages of are obvious with aluminium seats providing a lightweight, very strong ad long lasting solution. Added to this the other features that are popular are that seats can easily be manufactured to meet custom requirements in length and or seating configurations as required, these seats are robust and can withstand tremendous punishment from children, teenagers and adults. They are very simple to clean and dont' rust and provide highly comfortable seating for people of all ages and sizes indoor or outdoor.
