Safe Standing

The Link Safe Standing Barrier Seat is an excellent solution for safe standing in sports stadiums.

The Barrier Seat-M and Barrier Seat-S are excellent solutions for safe standing in sports stadiums! Both options combine durability, safety, and flexibility, which is especially important for retrofit projects in existing stadia as well as for new installations.

The use of plastic elements from the proven Mirage and Spectrum ranges offers both cost-efficiency and the ability to interchange components with existing Link GA seats. This ensures that the solution can adapt to various environments and needs. Additionally, ensuring compliance with SGSA guidance is crucial, and the robust design of these seats make them a reliable option for both safety and comfort.Both options combine durability, safety, and flexibility, which is especially important for retrofit projects in existing stadia as well as for new installations.

Self-Tipping

A fully concealed counterweight enables the self-tipping action, ensuring seats automatically return to the upright position after use. This simple design minimizes maintenance needs while boosting the durability and lifespan of the seat mechanism, delivering dependable performance in high-traffic areas.

Safety, Strength and Durability

The seats meet the rigorous standards set out within BS EN 12727, a British and European standard for the safety, strength, and durability of furniture used in public spaces. This indicates that the seating conforms with the highest levels of testing for heavy-duty use and is suitable for high-traffic areas, ensuring both user safety and long-term performance.

Galvanized Coating

All seat support posts and handrail tubes are fully galvanized, providing excellent protection against rust and corrosion. This galvanization process ensures that the seats maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal even in challenging environments with exposure to high humidity, moisture etc. The result is long-term durability and reduced maintenance costs.

Designed in Recesses

The seat design includes a recess that allows for easy integration of seat numbering or branding. This feature is particularly useful in stadiums, theatres, or cinemas where seat identification is necessary. The recess design ensures that any numbering or branding remains securely in place and is easy to read without interfering with the overall aesthetic of the seating arrangement.

Seat Material & Colour

Plastic seat elements are moulded from a high-quality polypropylene copolymer material, offering a smooth, durable surface that is both aesthetically appealing, practical and low maintenance. With a wide range of colour options available, you can choose from the complete range of standard RAL colours (MOQ applies).

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

Seat Numbering/Branding Inserts - BS-M

Branding inserts refer to custom-made plates/plaques that can be incorporated into seat backrests to display logos, company/people’s names, and other branding elements, enhancing the spectator experience with visual identity. These inserts are either self-adhesive backed aluminium plate or polyester sheet secured into the especially designed recess. The most widely used method to label or identify seats. Aluminium number discs are most common and durable, either being riveted to the seat or attached via high grade self-adhesive. They provide a professional and lasting solution, offering greater resistance to wear and tear over time. Another option is polyester seat numbering, which are adhesive-backed labels or stickers that can be applied straight on to a seat without riveting via the high grade self-adhesive. This is a simple and usually more cost-effective option, often used in retro fit scenarios.

Coatings for Support Posts

Thermoset and thermoplastic coatings are two types of finishes that can be applied to steel or metal components to improve their durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Thermoset coatings are made from polymers electrostatically applied and subsequently set/hardened by heating at high temperature in ‘ovens’. They provide a tough, durable finish that is resistant to heat, chemicals, and wear. Common examples are epoxy or polyurethane coatings.
Thermoplastic coatings are also made from polymers which are applied by dipping components into thermoplastic powders which have been fluidised in a ‘bed’. After the dipping process, and once hardened, a thick flexible layer remains protecting against abrasion, weathering, and corrosion. The most commonly used coating material is low density polyethene (LDPE).
Both coating options protect steel from rust, corrosion, and physical damage, particularly in outdoor or industrial environments. However, it's important to highlight that the thermoplastic dip process covers and protects both the internal and external surfaces of hollow steel sections, whereas the electrostatically applied thermoset process only safeguards the external surfaces.
Each of these options serves to customize or enhance the functionality, durability, comfort, and safety of seating and steel-based components in various industries like stadia, transport, theatre, marine, and commercial sectors.

Fire Retardant Additives (FR)

If required, FR additives are included to meet safety standards and regulations where necessary. Fire retardant additives are materials or chemical compounds added to products like polypropylene copolymer, vinyl upholstery, coatings, or other materials to improve their fire resistance.
