For those responsible for furnishing
a waiting room or waiting area, there’s a wide choice of seating available. Whilst
individual waiting room chairs are commonplace in many establishments, beam
seating is becoming ever more popular as a waiting room seating solution.
Beam seating is most widely available
with 2 to 5 seat positions and offers many benefits over traditional waiting
room chairs.
Your Waiting Room Remains Accessible
And Uniform
Beam seating is generally available
with a choice of free-standing or floor-fixing legs. Choosing the floor-fixing
option means that your beam seating will always remain in position, keeping
your waiting room accessible at all times. Even with free-standing legs, beam
seating is not easy to move around, thanks to its sturdy metal frame, so
walkways should always remain clear. In contrast, individual waiting room
chairs can easily be moved around, potentially blocking walkways and making
your waiting room look cluttered and untidy.
Beam Seating Makes Your Waiting Room
Easier To Clean
Beams with up to 4 seats will usually
only have 2 legs, compared to up to 16 legs on individual chairs. This makes
them much easier to clean underneath and around. 5-seat beams will generally
require 3 legs for stability, but this is still much fewer than individual
chairs.
In addition to this, the open space
under beam seating also helps make a waiting area look more spacious.

Tailored To Your Requirements
Most beams offer the option of integral tables with the ability to
replace any seat position with a table. This flexibility allows you to tailor
your waiting room seating to your requirements. With a wide choice of fabric
and vinyl colours and a range of table laminate colours, you can create an
individual look for your establishment.

Beam seating is available with plastic, metal, wooden or upholstered
seats so you can choose the material most suitable for your establishment.
Upholstered seats are obviously the most comfortable option, and these
can usually be found in hospitals and healthcare establishments where
anti-microbial vinyl makes an ideal cover material.
Beams with vinyl upholstery are also popular in businesses such as
barbers’ shops and vets’ practices where the ability to wipe clean is a key
requirement.
Metal beams can often be found in very high traffic waiting areas, such
as airports, train stations and ferry ports. In these types of locations metal
beams require minimal maintenance and can withstand severe wear and tear. It is
also difficult for them to be damaged by vandalism or misuse.
Beams Can Be Used Alongside Waiting Room Chairs
If you want to create a more relaxed feel in your waiting room, you may
think that beam seating looks too uniform, but this doesn’t have to be the
case. You could combine it with individual waiting room chairs to offer a range
of different seating to your visitors.
You can also make beam seating more inviting and visually appealing by
using different fabric or vinyl colours on each seat, as was done in the
hospital corridor waiting area pictured below.
