Grandstand Seating - Comprehensive Seating Solution

There has been a complete transformation on the style of seating a large number of people at one place over the last few years. Grandstands have become simple and the most opted for seating solutions. This kind of seating style originated around the nineteen forties and originally the seats were made out of concrete, which was slowly replaced by wooden planks in the nineteen sixties. Wooden planks ultimately have given way to metal seating, namely stainless steel metal seating or aluminium metal seating. Seats made of the metal aluminium have become the most preferred metal for grandstand seating. 

Aluminium is the metal for this kind of seating because 

• The metal aluminium is produced in industrial factories and made of standard shapes and sizes and it is easily available across all stores.

• Since aluminium has a variety of uses and is available in plenty, a cost benefit study would easily throw out the result that aluminium is the most cost effective seating solution.

• It is light weight but can handle heavy loads. Moving this type of furniture is easy

• It is malleable. As aluminium is malleable, seating solutions can be designed for different kind of spaces which may or may not be of normal standards. For example, it is very easy to customise the seating in form of say, a semi-circle or even in the shape of a triangle.

• Since it is made of aluminium, it will not rust and will not be affected by vagaries of nature such as rain, hail, snow or even extreme heat.

• It is eco friendly because it does not involve chopping of trees resulting in less deforestation. Aluminium is also a metal that is recyclable and hence it can be melted and reused over and over again.

• Seats made out of aluminium are easy to maintain and would require very little effort or cost for maintenance. It is also very sturdy. Further it is easier to provide padding by way of cushions for more comfort in this style of seating. There are further options to upholster these seats with material that would make it suitable for all weather use.

This kind of seating can be used at any type of venue, whether it may be an outdoor venue or an indoor venue. This type of seating can be customised depending on the location. An example of the same would be seating arrangements in playgrounds or schools. In such cases, these seats can be affixed to the floor so that it will handle any kind of pressure. However in some places, they can be free standing structures. The main advantage when they are not affixed to the floor is that they can be moved around the location effortlessly or can be dismantled and stored and can be used only there is a requirement for grandstand seating. A further innovation for easy movement of these grandstands would be the introduction of locking wheels. When the wheels are unlocked, they can be moved more easily and with much less noise.
