When selecting park benches for public spaces, the armrest options play a crucial role in both comfort and accessibility. Our benches offer three primary armrest configurations to meet diverse needs.
Full-length armrests provide continuous support along the entire bench length, ideal for elderly visitors who benefit from additional stability when sitting or rising. These are particularly valuable in senior centers and healthcare facilities.
Center armrests feature supportive dividers positioned at regular intervals, creating natural separations between seating areas while maintaining structural integrity. This design helps define personal space in high-traffic public areas.
For maximum flexibility, we offer removable armrest systems that can be detached when not needed. This adaptable solution works perfectly for venues that host varied events throughout the year.
All our armrests are constructed from durable materials matching your bench frame - typically powder-coated steel or aluminum that withstands outdoor conditions. The surfaces are smooth and rounded for safety, with options for plastic or wooden caps for enhanced comfort.
For ADA-compliant installations, our accessible benches feature armrests at precisely 17-19 inches above the seat surface, providing proper support for individuals with mobility challenges. These models also include clearance space underneath for wheelchair transfer.
Beyond accessibility benefits, armrests contribute to overall bench durability by reinforcing the structure and discouraging inappropriate use. They're available in various finishes to complement your existing park furniture while providing essential comfort and support for all visitors.
