Stainless steel+HPL bench surface public changing room bench, combining durability and aesthetics

What are the most common issues we encounter in public changing rooms at gyms, swimming pools, factories or schools? One of the most frequent problems is wooden seating that is prone to mould in damp environments, as well as rusty, wobbly metal frames. Today, we’d like to introduce a bench specifically designed for high-traffic, high-humidity public environments—featuring a stainless steel frame and an HPL seat surface—and see how it perfectly addresses these issues.

As can be seen from the photograph, this bench features a modern, minimalist design. The light-coloured wood-grain panels, paired with a silver-grey stainless steel frame, dispel the cold, clinical feel often associated with traditional industrial metal, instead exuding a warm, clean and sophisticated Scandinavian aesthetic.
Whether in a modern, high-end gym or a tidy staff changing room in a factory, it blends seamlessly into its surroundings, enhancing the overall ambience of the space.

Why is it so ‘sturdy and durable’?
When it comes to furniture used in public spaces, the key considerations are durability and safety.

1. HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) panels (seat and backrest)
   Waterproof and moisture-resistant, with no risk of mould: Many public changing rooms (particularly those in swimming pools) are extremely humid. HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) offers exceptional water resistance; even when exposed to damp conditions over the long term, it will not swell, warp or develop mould, putting an end to unpleasant odours.

Fire-resistant and flame-retardant, for greater safety: It meets stringent fire safety standards and is not easily ignited by open flames, providing an additional layer of protection for public fire safety.

Scratch-resistant and easy to clean: With an extremely hard surface, it is resistant to marks caused by keys or friction from rucksacks during everyday use. Stains wipe away effortlessly, significantly reducing maintenance costs for cleaning staff.

1. Stainless steel frame (support system)
   Completely rust-proof and highly load-bearing: We have moved away from ordinary iron frames, which are prone to rust, in favour of high-quality stainless steel. Not only does it boast a bright metallic sheen, but it also offers exceptional corrosion resistance, remaining as sturdy as ever even in damp environments, with a robust structure.
   If you look closely at this bench, you will find that every aspect of its design is geared towards ‘practicality’:

Top hooks: Four black hooks are cleverly integrated into the top wooden rail, making it convenient to hang clothes, rucksacks and towels; their rounded edges prevent any sharp corners from snagging clothing or causing injury.

Backrest support: The central wood-grain backrest is ergonomically designed to ensure greater comfort whilst changing.

Double-tier storage: There is a spacious storage shelf beneath the seat. Whether you’re taking off your shoes, putting down your bag or even storing some toiletries, there’s a place for everything. This keeps the changing room floor tidy and prevents tripping hazards.

Adjustable feet: The base features metal round-headed adjustable feet, allowing for easy adjustment even on uneven changing room floors, ensuring the bench remains stable and wobble-free.
