When selecting urban benches for public spaces, armrest options play a crucial role in both functionality and design. Our urban benches typically offer two primary armrest configurations to meet diverse urban planning needs.
Standard fixed armrests provide permanent divisions between seating positions, offering consistent support and helping define individual seating spaces in high-traffic areas. These integrated armrests are ideal for parks, transit stations, and public plazas where durable, maintenance-free solutions are preferred.
For greater flexibility, we offer removable armrest options that can be detached or reconfigured as needed. These modular designs allow cities to adapt seating arrangements for different events, seasons, or accessibility requirements. The removable feature particularly benefits spaces that occasionally need bench-like surfaces without divisions or require temporary adjustments for maintenance.
Both standard and removable armrests are engineered for durability using weather-resistant materials like powder-coated steel or marine-grade aluminum. The armrests are ergonomically contoured for comfort while serving important safety functions by preventing lying across benches - a key consideration in urban design guidelines.
Municipalities often choose a combination of both options throughout their urban landscapes, installing fixed armrest benches in permanent locations while utilizing removable versions in multi-use areas. This balanced approach ensures appropriate seating solutions for various public space requirements while maintaining design consistency across the urban environment.
