A Street Bench Designed for Low-Maintenance Public Seating
The Borth Seat is a robust street bench developed for public realm environments where longevity, comfort and reduced maintenance are key considerations. Combining a galvanised steel frame with recycled plastic slats, it provides dependable seating that retains its appearance through year-round exposure, making it well-suited to parks, streetscapes and civic routes.
Specified as a practical public bench, Borth offers a clear alternative to timber slatted seating in locations where repainting, sealing or frequent surface treatment is undesirable.
Galvanised Steel Frame with Recycled Plastic Slats
The bench is built around a galvanised steel frame designed for outdoor durability, paired with five recycled plastic slats supplied as standard. The slats resist moisture uptake and weather-driven movement, helping the seating remain consistent in appearance and performance across variable conditions.
Construction highlights include:
• Galvanised steel frame for corrosion resistance
• Five recycled plastic slats as standard for low maintenance performance
• Comfortable, stable seating profile suited to repeat use
• Designed to retain appearance in wet, coastal and exposed locations
This combination supports long-lasting street furniture seating in busy environments with routine cleaning.
Colour and Material Options for Scheme Coordination
The Borth Seat can be specified to align with wider public realm palettes and material strategies.
Options include:
• Mild steel legs with black or brown recycled plastic slats
• Frame available in Broxap’s standard colour range
• Additional central support available to ensure rigidity
These options support consistent detailing across larger projects and phased installations.
Fixing Options to Suit Site Conditions
To accommodate varied ground build-ups and site constraints, Borth can be specified with flexible fixing methods.
Fixing options include:
• Root fixed for secure, permanent installations
• Base plated for surface mounting onto existing hard standings
This makes it suitable for both new-build schemes and refurbishment projects where existing surfaces must be retained.
Ideal Applications for an Urban Bench
Borth is commonly specified as an urban bench and park bench alternative for:
• Town centre streetscapes and pedestrian routes
• Parks and green spaces
• Waterfront promenades and coastal locations
• Education campuses and commercial courtyards
• Transport-adjacent waiting areas and civic spaces
It can be paired with other street furniture elements, such as bins, bollards, planters, and cycle parking, to maintain a coordinated public realm.
