The Elements range from Furnitubes puts you firmly in control of the design of seating and

table products for your site. The range is based around a series of standard interchangeable

components, or ‘elements’, that offer you the maximum choice of styles, sizes, materials and

features.

Here are just some of the benefits of the Elements range:

• A wide range of styles, materials, finishes and other options

• 1000s of available combinations allowing you to create a truly unique solution for your site

• Create interesting and unique seating configurations from standard components

• Select a design that meets your purpose and budget

• Common components give you the ability to easily modify the products in the future

• The range can be readily adapted to suit site-specific requirements

E L E M E N T S® S E AT I N G & TA B L E R A N G E

Standard components in unique combinations

At Furnitubes we believe in the positive promotion of UK manufacturing and the benefits that it

brings to the UK economy. Manufacturing in the UK also offers a more sustainable solution, with

transportation distances and associated environmental impacts minimised. Where components

and materials are not available in the UK, we ensure that they are imported from responsibly

managed and legally certified sources. All new products to the Furnitubes’ range are designed

with this philosophy in mind and wherever you see our UK Made logo you can be assured that

the product is manufactured in the UK.

The Elements ConceptMost seating ranges offer the specifier a rather limited number of variations in sizes, materials and add-on options. Furnitubes’ in-house

Design Team has developed the Elements concept to provide a comprehensive range of seats with a far greater choice of configurations and

options, all based around a common set of core components.

9 styles of supports are

offered as standard,

with most available in

a variety of material

/ finish options, and

all bolting on to

the chassis at pre-

determined points

Legally sourced iroko

slats are available in 3

standard sizes for each

chassis length, and can

be fixed to the chassis

in either a side-to-side

or a front-to-back

arrangement

2CHASSIS

SIZES

1000s of combinationsWith such a wide choice of options on features, materials and finishes, Elements seats can be designed by the specifier to a style and budget

to suit most schemes. Shown in this brochure are just a few examples of the wide variety of potential standard combinations and special

configurations that can be achieved with just a few minor changes to the standard components.

Armrests, backrests, tablets and anti-skate devices can all be bolted onto the chassis at

standard positions, to divide the seat platform into smaller segments for individual seating

OPTIONS

The chassis is at the heart of all Elements seats - a robust steel frame pre-drilled for all options

of slats, seat supports, arm and backrests. Available in 2 sizes to seat 3 or 4 people.

Seat slat options Elements is offered with 3 standard timber slat profile size options, and each profile can be arranged in either side-to-side or front-to-back

orientation - all fixing to a common chassis. The chassis is available in 2 sizes - 1800mm or 2400mm long - giving 12 slat layout options. Each

option has its own style - small slats have a delicate look whereas large slats are much more robust in style, with the medium slats being a

balance between the two. Consideration should be given as to how the slats visually ‘work’ with various seat supports. Shown below are each

of the slat profiles and orientations. Slats are supplied in a smooth planed untreated finish as standard, but can be pre-oiled to offer improved

weathering protection and to retain the original timber colouration over a longer period.


Small slats - 40mm wide

Side-to-side: 9 / seat platform

Medium slats - 65mm wide

Seat support options There are 9 standard options for the seat supports, all of which

bolt to the standard slat / chassis assembly at pre-determined

and generally common fixing points. Most designs are available

in a variety of material and finish options which, combined with

the choice of timber slat arrangements, can significantly change

the appearance of the seat - from visually light (but very robust)

to the more heavy duty appearance of some assemblies. All steel

seat supports are supplied pre-drilled for a bolt-down installation,

although in-ground fixings can be supplied if preferred. Bespoke

styles of seat supports can be offered providing they can bolt to

the common fixing locations on the steel seat chassis.

ArmrestsArmrests can be bolted onto the seat

chassis at any of the predetermined

positions, dividing the seat into standard

widths for individual seat segments. An

added benefit of armrests is that they

can also serve as an anti-skate function.

Three basic styles of armrest are offered,

as shown below.


1.8m / 3 seats - 4 armrests max

Independent armrest - steel onlyThe standard armrest with rounded corners, typically specified in the material and finish to match the other steelwork used on the seat supports

Side-table ‘tablets’The ‘tablet’ is a new optional add-on to the Elements range. It is a small side-table that can be bolted on to all standard Elements seats and

benches. It serves as an armrest, but unlike conventional arm-rests which is only a place to rest an arm on and an aid to lowering or alighting

from the seat, the extra width of the ‘tablet’ makes it altogether more useful. At nearly 300mm wide x 450mm deep there is plenty of space

to place food and drink, a book, even a tablet computer, which people increasingly carry and use when out and about. Tablets are available

either as a single piece steel construction, usually to match the steelwork on other parts of the seat, or with the addition of timber slats, in

the same profile options as used on the seat platform, but always orientated in a front-to-back arrangement. Tablets are centrally positioned,

effectively dividing the seat area into two parts, the dimensions and implications of which are shown below.

TABLET:290mm wide x 450mm deep

ELE TA GAAll-steel tablet in galvanised finish, 150mm above seat surface

ELE TA GTSteel tablet in galvanised finish & timber slats, 175mm above seat surface

OPTIONS

• Steelwork in polyester powder coated finish or stainless steel

• Oiled timbers

• Adding a central tablet to an 1800mm long seat creates two seating areas 750mm wide, which is a generous space for one person per side.

• Adding a central tablet to a 2400mm long seat creates two seating areas 1050mm wide, which can still accommodate two people per side.

• End armrests can still be used with a tablet, but intermediate ones cannot.

BackrestsAs with armrests, backrests can be provided for any number of standard seat divisions, which can

dramatically change the functionality and aesthetics of the product. Retaining a section of the seat

without a backrest provides a double aspect to that part of the seat. Furthermore, backrests can be used

on opposite sides (providing they are offset from one another) to offer outlooks in two directions. The

backrest timbers are offered in the same small, medium and large component sizes as used for the seat

platform assembly. Available in a side-to-side layout only, the backrest slats are generally matched with

the seat slat sizes for a coordinated appearance. Shown here are some examples of the options and

versatility offered with standard backrest units.

Anti-skateSkaters can quickly damage new

seating, especially ‘plain’ benches

without any arm or backrests which

obstruct skating. Purpose-made

anti-skate devices can be fitted into

standard arm / backrest positions,

providing an upstand above the

fascia board to inhibit skating.

Overall dimensionsThe illustration below shows an assembly comprising an assembled

seat platform (chassis + timber slats) with plate end seat supports

and a full length backrest with integrated arms. Using other seat

support options and the need for end fascia panels gives different

overall lengths as detailed in the table.

Final Assembly The final components in the

assembly are fascia boards, which

cover the fixings on the long faces

(and sometimes the end face,

depending on the seat support).

Fascias are timber as standard,

although steel plates can be used

on selected assemblies.

Dollar Bay, London DocklandsDollar Bay is a residential development of 115 apartments and

penthouses in Canary Wharf, London. Dollar Bay’s prime location

at the eastern end of the South Dock makes for spectacular views

across the ever-changing Docklands’ skyline. From the original client

seating concept Furnitubes developed detailed design proposals for

a variety of seating solutions to the private garden - including bench

seating around raised planters and high-back linear seating beneath

a pergola - and independent benches with anti-skate features to

the quayside public realm, all based around the Elements seating

concept. Materials used include granite for the seat supports, in

a flamed finish to match the paving and walling, and European

oak in an oiled finish for the seating platforms and backrests.

Complimentary products supplied to the scheme included bespoke

recliners in two different sizes and special dimensioned versions of

the standard Thetford picnic bench.

Two bench heights for multiple configurations The Elements narrow bench range has been designed for maximum

flexibility, and with the end-user in mind. The range is particularly

suitable for schools and colleges, but can be configured for any

scheme. The narrow width benches are available in two heights.

They can be placed to complement other seats and tables from the

range, or used independently. However, the full benefit delivered

by this design is only apparent when the two bench heights

are used together. The high and low bench can form two tier

seating; alternatively, the high bench can be used as a table in this

arrangement. If the high bench is fixed across the low bench it

forms a wide table – perfect for books, food, or a tablet computer.

Indeed there is space for all three, and the narrow width of this

bench means it is comfortable for straddling, which is perfect for

studying. As for other Elements seats, the narrow bench range is

available in a choice of timber slat sizes and arrangements. The

standard support to the bench platform is the post-type, which is

available in a number of material and finish options

Low bench

The low level bench can

be used independently

as a conventional height

narrow width bench

providing a simple and

comfortbale seating

solution.

High bench

The high level bench

is ideal as a short term

rest point, to be used as

either as a perch -style

bench or bar stool type

seating provision.

Bench & table

Placing the low and

high level benches in a

parallel arrangement at a

suitable offset dimension

allows the high bench to

be used as a small table.

Straddle bench

The narrow width of the

bench allows a straddled

seating position, and a

high bench placed across

on the opposite axis can

act as a useful narrow

table.

2 tier bench

When suitably aligned,

the low level bench can

act as a foot stool to the

higher bench, effectively

providing a 2 tier seating

arrangement.


Outdoor social and teaching spacesElements benches are ideal for arranging in a way that

encourages people to socialise. Outdoor seating is

often placed in a disparate fashion, and this is usually

a function of the design. But the Elements range is

specifically designed to make it easy to bolt units

together. Because of this feature, the benches can be

configured in many ways, as appropriate to benefit the

people who will use them. In an educational setting,

for example, the benches can be arranged in a squared

amphitheatre, as shown in this illustration. Two tier

benches maximise the use of space to create a teaching

area ideal for lessons or tutorials out in the fresh air.

Installation: Base plates on each post are pre-drilled to accept

4 no. M10 or M12 ground fixings (not supplied).

When high and low benches are designed to

provide two-tier seating or a bench + table

provision, ensure that the post centres are installed

to the setting out dimensions shown.

Example combinations: Shown below are the basic junctions between adjoining benches. The internal steelwork of the bench platform is designed to abutt at pre-

determined fixing points; the only variable components on selected adjoining are the fascia boards, which are either removed or pre-drilled to

allow steelwork fixings to pass through at the junctions between joined benches. Other variations to, or combinations of, the options shown

below are also possible. If you are able to provide a sketch or describe to us the layout you would like to achieve and how many people you

are seeking to accommodate we will work out the specific type and quantity of units you will need, and if it would be useful, can provide plan

layouts and three dimensional views of the overall assembly.

or large slats orientated in either a side-to-side layout or a front-to-back layout, giving a total of 12 different table top configurations. Further

variations can be achieved by varying the table top side fascia boards, which are available in timber, galvanised or coated steel, and stainless

steel. There are two standard table supports - the end-mounted picture frame design or the inset posts, both of which complement the seats

and benches of the same design, though they can equally be used with seats with other support types.

Standard bolt-down fixingStandard Elements range benches, seats and tables are supplied with supports that are designed to be fixed down on top of the finished

paving. Steel post supports are pre-drilled for bolting down and for masonry supports we recommend fitting the studs provided into the

underside of the blocks and to set these in the substrate. Such installations are the quickest and cheapest methods providing that the site

is relatively level, and that the substrate is suitable for drilling and securing ground fixings into. Examples of situations and substrates that

generally are not suitable for this type of installation include where there is a significant fall across length of the seat, and if substrates are

unsuited to fixing into, such as macadam or small size paving blocks set on a sand base. In such cases we would suggest a below-ground

installation, which is offered as an alternative option on selected support types only.

Support types suited ONLY to bolt-down installation on level ground

Support types that can be supplied at extended heights for below-ground installation (available on special request)(all illustrated as standard height versions for bolt-down installation onto finished paving)

PLATE ENDPlate heights can be made higher

thna standard, with a return fold

as suits the level of the below

ground sub-base to bolt to, or

can be concreted over to resist

pull-out.

OPEN BOX GOALPOST FRAME

POST SUPPORTPosts can be extended in depth

as a plain post, with a tie bar for

keying into concrete or with a

base plate for bolting down to

a sub-base.

GRANITE BLOCKGranite blocks can be cut at a

height to suit the level of the

below ground sub-base onto

which the blocks rest / fixed to.

This type of installation enables

a neat junction between the

paving and granite blocks.

GABION BASKETThe vertical faces of the

gabion mesh can extend into

the ground, which would be

beneficial when installed into

a soft surface in particular. In a

hard landscape situation though

this would create a ragged joint

with the surrounding paving.

Alternative bespoke supports and fixing methodsWhere the ground slopes and / or the paving or substrate cannot be used for bolting down on to, standard version supports may not be

suitable. For user comfort we would always recommend that seats and tables are set true level, with the optimum seat height of 450mm and

table height of 800mm set at the mid point along the product length. Shown below are various scenarios of ground levels and foundation

types, and how each can be accommodated in the design and manufacture of the seat supports. Given the variety of site conditions, we do

not have a standard detail for below-ground installation of Elements products and treat all such seats as ‘specials’, custom-made to suit your

site. Please contact Furnitubes’ Design Department to discuss these options and your site in more detail so that we are able to design and

supply the most appropriate solution.

PRE-CAST FOUNDATION BLOCKS

Standard supports can be made longer to sit below ground level.

Common height supports will generally suit level ground sites or

sloping ground with foundation blocks set at the same level, with

supports fixed as for standard bolt-down installations. Supports can

be made at different heights if required. The advantage of this type

of installation is that removal of the seat or table does not require

complete excavation if the foundation as well.

MASS FOUNDATIONS

Extended depth supports can be set into a excavated hole and

concreted poured over and around, generally meaning both

supports can be made the same height. The advantages of this type

of installation is that it is relatively quick and cheap, and the top

of foundation levels aren’t critical in terms of accuracy. The main

disadvantage though is that the whole foundation needs to be

excavated if the seat requires removing in future.
