Seating
The Right Seat at the Right Place
The heart of your seat. How a seat is built
is considered of major importance but even more
important is the quality of its components. The
mechanics play a significant role in the functionality of
a seat (whether it is for rocking or reclining), they must
be of great quality to provide durability and avoid
squeaking noises and rust.
(manual or electric).
Any seat type may fit all constructions, however
there might be seats that work better on floor
slopes and others on risers depending on heights
and incline degrees. We highly advise to check the
international building codes for requirements.
The action and
reaction of our Rocker
mechanism must be
smooth with natural
motion. It is amazing
how a small block of
rubber meets Newton´s
third law.
Regarding reclining
mechanisms for luxury
seats you must look into
the one most companies
use and approve, this
gives security to your
investment.
In the acquisition of standard seating, when it comes
to a flip up seat bottom, we recommend a simple and
resistant mechanism, it must be noiseless, and gravity
assisted. (From the moment the apple fell from the
tree, Gravity law has not been proven wrong).
Needless to say
a seat must be
of great quality,
being part of a
large investment,
you want your seat
to be strong, to be
built with first class
raw materials and
great designed.
Laboratory tests like
ASTM, CAL-177,
TB-133, AS-1530,
CRIB-5,UL-962 &
ETL Certification,
FOR COMMERCIAL USE , will help you know the
quality of the seat you are buying, there is a myriad
of beautiful seats out there but you want to make sure
that the inside of your seat backs up what you see on
the outside.
Considering that people might sit down or stand up on
the lifting arms, these should be manufactured using
strong steel gauges to avoid bending or breaking, as
well as easy to flip up and to be free of trapping areas.
Last but not least is to do business with a well
established company and verify its REPUTATION,
THE ORIGINALITY OF ITS PRODUCTS AND
BUSINESS CAREER, INCLUDING TH EIR
EXPERTISE in the CINEMA MARKET, this will
guarantee a good investment. Additionally, it does
not matter how old your seats are, you will always get
OEM (Original equipment manufacturer) parts. Thus
you will be ensured your seats will continue working
properly. Imitations or economic matching products
may cause your seat to fail and even cause an
accident.
The soul of the seat. It must be heavy duty;
metal frames reinforcing plastics, thick steel gauges in
pedestals, the foot plates need to resist dust, humidity,
liquid spills, etc. so the gauge must be even thicker.
Make sure that small components are manufactured
exactly with the same quality as the rest of the seat,
since they are a complement of the seat, for instance;
armrest pads, under armrest components, aisle end
accessories etc.
Always consider special needs, no matter what kind
of seat you select, transfer arm aisle ends should be of
extremely easy access for people with disabilities, who
deserve to enjoy a comfortable and high quality seat.
The low end must allow patrons to transfer themselves
from the wheel chair to the seat with the least effort
possible, this applies for standard and luxury recliners
