 Aluminum Locker Benches are strong, durable, and
attractive seating areas that are very popular in athletic and work facilities.
Their applications range from industrial and warehouse facilities to office and
country club facilities. Any locker room where people need to change clothing
will be a place where people need temporary seating. These locker benches
feature rounded edges that provide more comfortable seating and eliminate sharp
edges that can snag clothing and bare bottoms. These lockers are available in a range
of lengths and are 100% aluminum.
Both the bench seat and the pedestals have been given a treatment or
coating to prevent oxidation and rust.
Our Aluminum
Locker Benches are all eighteen inches in height and ten inches in width.
The lengths of the benches range from thirty-six to ninety-six inches, or three
to eight feet. Other available benches are four, five, six, and seven foot
lengths. The three foot bench weighs fifteen pounds while the four foot bench
weighs twenty pounds. The five foot bench weighs twenty-five pounds and each one
foot increment in bench length adds five pounds to the weight. The two pedestals
are three inches in diameter and have four mounting holes for secure mounting to
the surface.
These Aluminum
Locker Benches feature an anodized aluminum bench seat. Metals can be
structurally weakened by the rusting or oxidation process. However, a chemical
process known as “anodizing” can make aluminum stronger and more durable on its
surface. It will also significantly
help the aluminum increase its corrosion resistance. The anodizing process is started by
placing the aluminum in a chemical acid bath, such as acetone. At this point an
electrical current is passed through the acid. The aluminum will act as the
positive anode of a chemical battery while the acid will act as the negative
anode. This will cause the surface of the aluminum to oxidize or rust. The
surface of the aluminum is now coated by a layer of oxidized aluminum which is
stronger and harder than that of the original aluminum. This surface coating is
referred to as anodized aluminum. Some anodizing processes can make the anodized
aluminum nearly as hard as diamond. Because anodized aluminum can be made
extremely strong and durable, some of its applications include parts for
automobiles and space satellites.
The pedestals on
these Aluminum Locker Benches are given long term protection from corrosion by
coating them with a thermoplastic coating. In this process a dry plastic-like or
plastic-epoxy powder is literally “blown” onto the metal part. An electrical
current is used to enable a stronger adhesion between the dry powder and the
metal. The pedestals are then cured or heated to allow the powder to form a very
secure and protective “skin” around the metal. This thermoplastic coating is very
durable and will not crack or peel.
It will protect the metal from corrosion and if it is damaged it can be
easily repaired with an industrial heat gun.
Our Aluminum Locker
Benches are an attractive combination of strength and durability. Their
traditional look will remain contemporary for many years. All of the locker benches are delivered
unassembled for easier and more economical
shipping.
However, assembly is very simple and easy.
