NORDESCO Wide Plastic Bench 8ft - Sand

The Nordesco Wide Plastic Bench 8ft - Sand is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade freestanding bench engineered with an expanded seating depth for high-capacity facilities requiring enhanced stability, gear staging capacity, and warm earth-tone architectural finishes. Spanning 96 inches with a generous 17-to-20-inch seating surface, it accommodates high-density multi-patron seating while providing a broad platform suited for athletic locker rooms, natatorium perimeters, and aquatic staging bays.

Functional Overview & Materials

Built for heavy commercial duty and continuous exposure to wet, chemically aggressive natatorium atmospheres:

• Polypropylene Slat Platform (Sand): Fabricated from high-impact, UV-stabilized virgin thermoplastic slats in a solid "Sand" (warm tan/beige) tone. The non-porous structure is impervious to chloramine vapors, chlorinated water, body oils, and concentrated sanitizers, eliminating chipping, peeling, rotting, splintering, and fungal growth.

• Expanded Wide Profile: Features an enlarged seat depth (approximately 17 to 20 inches) compared to the standard 12-to-14-inch narrow profile, delivering elevated ergonomic stability against tipping and ample surface area for staging duffel bags and swim equipment.

• Rapid Drainage & Airflow: Longitudinal drainage slots direct shower spray, pool splash-out, and washdown water straight through to the deck drains below, preventing surface puddle formation and speeding air drying for barefoot occupants.

• Multi-Pedestal Understructure: Supported by four to five structural upright pedestal frames fabricated from reinforced structural polymer or passivated stainless steel hardware. This multi-post foundation prevents center-span sagging across the 96-inch run and safely transfers dynamic live loads across the deck.

• Deck Surface 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.
