Product Details:
A Contemporary Street Furniture Bench with Endless Layout Potential
Sandwell has been developed as a modular street furniture bench system, allowing designers to shape seating around the needs of the space. It can be manufactured to virtually any required dimension, making it suitable for both compact streetscapes and major civic schemes.
Typical applications include: • Town centre regeneration and public squares • Transport interchanges and station forecourts • Commercial developments and workplace campuses • Waterfront promenades and landscaped routes • Parks and large communal green spaces
As a modern park bench alternative, Sandwell offers design freedom without compromising on durability.
Heavy Duty Timber and Steel Construction
The Sandwell Bench combines robust materials selected for demanding outdoor use.
Key Material Features • Pre-galvanised steel frame for corrosion resistance • Polyester powder coated finish for long-term protection • Hardwood Iroko slats in a planed and sanded finish • Base plated fixing for secure surface installation
This makes Sandwell an excellent choice as a commercial outdoor bench where strength, low maintenance, and visual quality are essential.
Sandwell Bench Dimensions and Standard Format
The bench is designed to accommodate large-scale seating requirements while maintaining a clean, contemporary profile.
With bespoke sizing available, Sandwell can be adapted to suit almost any project layout.
Configurations for Urban and Landscape Design
One of the defining advantages of the Sandwell Bench is its ability to form complex seating arrangements.
Available Configuration Options • Straight runs for traditional street bench layouts • Curved forms for softer landscape integration • Geometric seating for civic plazas and architectural schemes • S-shaped designs for informal gathering spaces • Individual benches or connected modular seating banks
This makes Sandwell a highly versatile street bench solution for contemporary public realm projects.
