NORDESCO Wide Plastic Bench 12ft - Sand

The Nordesco Wide Plastic Bench 12ft - Sand is the maximum-length commercial freestanding bench in the expanded-depth Sand series. Engineered for massive-capacity aquatic and athletic complexes—such as Olympic training natatoriums, university athletic concourses, public recreation centers, and expansive locker room transit corridors—it delivers 144 inches of heavy-duty seating with an enlarged 17-to-20-inch seating surface, maximizing occupant comfort and gear staging capacity while maintaining exceptional stability in wet environments.

Functional Overview & Materials

Engineered to withstand heavy commercial live loads, high occupant volume, and continuous exposure to aggressive aquatic chemistry:

• Polypropylene Slat Platform (Sand): Fabricated from heavy-duty, UV-stabilized virgin thermoplastic slats in an integral "Sand" (warm tan/beige) tone. Chemically inert and non-porous, the material resists chloramine vapor, chlorinated water, body oils, and concentrated sanitizers without chipping, cracking, rotting, splintering, or harboring mold and bacteria.

• Expanded Wide Profile: Features an enlarged seat depth (approximately 17 to 20 inches) compared to the standard 12-to-14-inch narrow profile, delivering superior seated stability against tipping, greater ergonomic comfort, and generous platform space for athlete duffels and gear.

• Rapid Drainage & Airflow: Longitudinal drainage channels allow shower runoff, pool splash-out, and washdown spray to drain immediately through to the deck drains below, eliminating standing water puddles and accelerating evaporation for barefoot patrons.

• Six-to-Seven Pedestal Understructure: Supported by six to seven structural upright pedestal frames fabricated from reinforced structural polymer or passivated stainless steel hardware. This dense multi-post framework prevents center-span sagging across the full 144-inch run and safely distributes dynamic live loads across the deck.

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