CAVENDISH SEAT- 1.8 m
A heavyweight seat having substantial timber sections that give
increased strength, whilst retaining the inherent elegance of this
traditional design. This model is principally intended for parks
and other municipal uses. The particularly deep main rails
shorten the length of the back slats which are a generous 16mm
thick.
Plaques - Engraved stainless steel plaque – Up to 5 lines
of inscription with no more than 36 characters per line. The
unique vandal resistant design is in heavy gauge stainless steel, and is flush mounted into the seat
board. It is retained by two M10 stainless steel tamper resistant screws, which neatly hold the plaque
from the rear. Standard size 63 x 152mm. (We may have benches available which will accept a
plaque into a pre-routed area. The plaques will need to be supplied by the donor so please ask
prior to order).
PHOENIX SEAT- 1.8 m
This seat is robustly designed with fully recycled end supports
and slats. The heavy duty seat offers durability, weather
resistance and low maintenance. End supports and frame are
supplied in textured black Enviropol material, seat slats are
available in a choice of either brown or black Enviropol material.
Enviropol material is a new landscaping material manufactured
predominantly from post-consumer plastics, with 100% recycled
content. The material's density, strength and weather-resistance
will ensure a long, virtually maintenance-free service life. It is self-coloured and needs no painting or
surface treatment. It is resistant to chemical attack and impervious to water, frost and most corrosive
substances. Enviropol material is knot and splinter-free, making it ideal for seating, and is 100%
recyclable at the end of its long service life.
Plaques - A stainless steel commemorative plaque can be supplied with the seat. Up to 5 lines of
inscription with no more than 35 characters per line. The lettering is laser-etched permanently onto
the surface. Manufactured from stainless steel, and therefore minimizing any maintenance needed,
this plaque is ideal for outdoor environments and will keep its appearance for many years. Standard
size 50 x 150mm
