Commercial Metal Lobby and Entry Way Benches

As their name indicates, they are normally mounted at the entrances to properties, atriums, company buildings, schools, and in a variety of indoor foyer and lobby environments.   Benches are coated in Thermoplastic, which makes them highly weather resistant and vandal resistant.  Attractive color choices and model design styles make them universal in their ability to compliment any architecture or landscape.

Why would schools or businesses choose backless commercial metal lobby and entry way benches rather than models that have a back rest?

The idea is to give people a place to rest for a few quick minutes without camping out in one spot all day.  Benches with back rests are so comfortable that people will sit in them for hours.  All of our backless bench models have arm rests so a person can balance and sit comfortably for a reasonable period of time.  However, the design itself encourages the person to eventually get up and move on to a destination.

Are commercial metal lobby and entry way benches good for waiting areas?

In places where people are going to wait for a meeting, job interview, or transportation for short periods of time, they are ideal.  Waiting periods of over an hour may require more comfortable benches with back rests.  Call XPB Locker Supply and share some of the details of your facility and its operation.  We can guide your selection to the best metal bench options for your particular staff, client, or student needs.

Can public schools benefit from commercial metal lobby and entry way benches?

This is an excellent question, because it looks beyond the literal meaning of the word “commercial” and sees just how many uses they have beyond the business world per se.  One of these arenas is public education.  School campuses of all grade levels need special seating in a number of places.  Metal backless benches represent a very cost effective and highly efficient method of providing this to both students and teachers.

Where can schools mount metal benches?

Backless benches can be mounted in the floor, in outdoor concrete, or in the ground itself.  They can also be configured for portable mounting so school personnel can move them around when necessary.  Places in public schools where we typically see commercial metal lobby and entry way benches mounted include cafeteria entrances, auditorium entrances, bus stop areas, sidewalk study area, the commons area and/or school rotunda, and entrances to the library and gyms.
