NORDESCO Plastic Bench 5ft - Sand

The Nordesco Plastic Bench 5ft - Sand (standard profile) is the maximum standard single-span freestanding commercial bench in the standard-width Sand series. Engineered for high-capacity aquatic venues—such as municipal natatoriums, varsity athletic locker rooms, and outdoor pool deck perimeters requiring warm, earth-tone architectural aesthetics—it pairs a 96-inch seating span with a space-saving 12-to-14-inch depth to maximize multi-patron seating while maintaining clear traffic lanes.

Functional Overview & Materials

Built for rigorous commercial use and continuous exposure to wet, chemically treated environments:

• Heavy-Duty Polypropylene Slats (Sand): Fabricated from commercial-grade, UV-stabilized virgin thermoplastic slats in a durable "Sand" (warm tan/beige) finish. Non-porous and chemically inert, the slats will not warp, splinter, absorb moisture, or support mold, mildew, or bacterial growth under continuous chloramine vapor or direct splash-out.

• Rapid Drainage & Airflow: Longitudinal drainage slots direct pool runoff, shower water, and washdown spray straight through to the deck drains below, eliminating standing surface puddles, speeding evaporation, and preserving wet-traction safety for barefoot patrons.

• Four-to-Five Pedestal Framework: Supported by four to five heavy-duty upright pedestal frames fabricated from reinforced structural polymer or passivated stainless steel. This dense multi-point layout prevents midpoint deflection across the 96-inch span and safely distributes live dynamic loads across the deck.

• Deck Protection: Fitted with non-marking, chemical-resistant rubber/urethane foot pads that protect wet tile, plaster, epoxy, and acrylic deck coatings from abrasion, scuffing, or gouging.
