That's an excellent question, and it gets to the heart of functional urban design. Yes, many of our urban bench collections do include models that are equipped with armrests. We recognize that armrests are a critical feature for accessibility, providing necessary support for older adults and individuals with mobility challenges to sit down and stand up with greater ease and stability. They also contribute to overall user comfort and can help define individual seating spaces in a public setting.
Regarding your question about detachability: this depends entirely on the specific bench model you select. We offer two primary configurations:
1. Benches with Fixed, Integrated Armrests: Many of our most durable and vandal-resistant benches feature armrests that are permanently welded or bolted as an integral part of the frame. This design prioritizes maximum strength, longevity, and security, making it ideal for high-traffic public areas where durability is paramount.
2. Benches with Detachable or Optional Armrests: For projects requiring flexibility, we do offer select models where the armrests are designed as detachable components. These are typically secured with specialized, tamper-resistant fasteners that require a specific tool for removal. This allows for easier transportation, storage, or future reconfiguration of the seating space. It's important to note that even when detachable, these armrests are not meant to be frequently removed by the public.
To get precise information for your project, we recommend consulting the product specifications for your chosen bench model or speaking directly with our support team. We can confirm the armrest style and guide you to the best option for your specific needs in terms of aesthetics, compliance with local accessibility guidelines, and maintenance requirements.
