Toledo Bench
STEEL SEATING
Toledo Seat
In this range of seats and benches good design has been coupled with high quality materials to give modern styling, whilst maintaining durability and vandal resistance. When ordering seating units, it is important to note that a seat is defined as a seat with backrest and a bench with no backrest. The Toledo seat has a strong North American influence in its design, using sturdy section wooden slats on unpretentious steel supports. Each slat is secured by coachbolts with the added refinement of pin-locking to prevent removal. The timber offered is African hardwood in natural finish. Choice of below or on ground fixing. Co-ordinated bench, litter bin and planter are also available. The Bradmore seat is available in two versions, a high back and a low back, depending on personal preference. The seats and bench may be bolted to the ground to suit site circumstances. On both seats and the bench, an all steel support protects the slat ends, giving a streamlined effect, with pin locking security to fixing. The slats are of selected, treated hardwood. A Bradmore litter bin is also available. Standard finish on the Bradmore range is a dark brown semi-gloss polyester powder coating on the steel sections with a Malaysian Sapele timber for the slats giving an overall co-ordinated look.
Bradmore Low Back Seat
The Shannon seat is manufactured entirely from steel. It can be supplied with or without armrests and a double sided bench version is also available, with an arched profile to deter vagrants from sleeping on the bench. The Shannon range is lightweight and can be bolted to the ground for extra security.

Shannon Seat
The Commander Range of bollards has been an undoubted success in the market place and consequently to extend this design connotation, a seat and litter bin is now offered. The seat is a modern design which will look particularly attractive on most sites. The six slats are of Emeri timber which have been preservative treated, mounted on two steel supports and embellished with the three stripe Commander insignia. The two steel seat ribs are finished in the same colour as the supports and the stripes on the supports are usually highlighted with a contrasting colour.
Commander Seat
The seat can be on ground fix by base plate, in-ground fix by extending the leg or can be produced to suit the adjustable/removable boot system which allows for siting the seat on a slope or removal of the seat for maintenance or repair if damaged.

Dream Seat
The Dream seat is designed by Pierluigi Molinari from Italy and is manufactured from the special grating produced by the Italian company Orsogril. This grating, which is patented, is extremely robust and vandal resistant. The ends are cloaked with steel providing a rigid and robust seat body. The legs and underframe are produced in aluminium alloy with a neat flange bored for bolting to the ground. The shape of the seat allows a comfortable and relaxed position. A co-ordinating Dream bench is available. Both products will enhance all architectural styles of application and are suitable for interior or exterior use. Both the Dream seat and bench are imported exclusively by Townscape.
CAST IRON SEATING The Viking seat ends are manufactured from ductile cast iron giving added strength yet retaining the outline of an elegant and classical design. The Viking seat ends cloak the timber slats to give extra security in addition to the stainless steel fixings. The design of the ends also offers the advantages of integral armrests and a freestanding style of leg which has ground fixing points if permanent site fixing is required. A back rib is featured to ensure maximum stability.
Catton Bench
In many applications, a bench without the backrest of a seat is more practical. This Catton bench is a simple but attractive design ideal for educational establishments or leisure parks. The bench ends are manufactured from ductile cast iron with two extra wide African hardwood slats mounted on top giving maximum sitting space. A spacing beam gives total stability and the feet have pre-drilled holes for fixing to the ground.

Viking Seat
DINING SETS The Discus is a circular design with a fluted pattern table top mounted on a steel pedestal with matching seat tops mounted on arms which are fixed to the central pedestal. The standard unit is a four seater but two, three, five or six seater units can be produced to special order. Permanently fixed below ground, the Discus is a modern and practical dining unit. The Rufford Folder is designed to combat the British climate. The steel frame allows the seat section to be lifted up and folded on to the table top thereby keeping the seat dry and clean. This feature is also useful for winter storage. A freestanding unit, the Rufford can seat up to ten people although a smaller version can be produced to special order. A non-folding version can also be supplied.
Discus
The Charlton Dining set has been developed to meet market demand for a heavy duty dining set which is both functional and attractive. The set is made up of a table and two benches which can be ragbolted to Rufford Folder Charlton the ground at the desired spacing. An in-ground fixing leg detail can be supplied to special order. The Charlton is ideal for fast food restaurants, leisure centres, hotels or public house outside dining areas or any other area with a requirement for seating crowds to eat food in an ‘al fresco’ situation. The square hollow section legs on the table and benches are of a welded construction in mild steel and the timber slats are of Malaysian sapele hardwood. For extra security, all coach screws are complemented with an anti-vandal locking pin.
ECONOMY SEATING
Riva
Torro
Zeta
These three designs have been produced to a specification which retains all the Townscape quality features yet bulk purchasing allows savings to be made. All seats can be on ground or below ground fixed. The Torro Seat is an unusual design and can suit both old and new environmental applications. The seat ends are produced in cast aluminium with hardwood slats. The Zeta Seat has ductile cast iron ends providing this seat with added vandal resistance. A neat design offering great comfort when seated. The slats are of hardwood timber. The Riva Seat is a streamlined and functional design well suited to modern architectural applications. Sturdy construction with steel ends and hardwood slats. A co-ordinated Riva bench is also available.

Tubular Perch Bench Shelter Perch Seat
PERCH SEATING Perch seating has become popular in areas where there is a high density of passengers waiting short periods of time for transport. Known as rapid transport seating, this range of four designs is ideal for bus or train stations, waiting areas or even cafe bars. These designs are extremely adaptable and are all manufactured from steel, as a result, the seat height and length can be altered to suit site requirements. Armrests and handgrips can be addded as optional extras. Fixing can be on ground or below ground to customer order. The Shelter perch has the advantage of a back rest which gives a little more comfort. It is manufactured from flat oval tube and is an all welded construction. Voltan Perch Bench
The Tubular perch design is surprisingly comfortable and can be produced in longer runs with a split level if required. This gives a length of seating for adults and a lower level suitable for children. Perforated steel is used for the seating surface of the Voltan perch. This perch bench is part of the Voltan range and therefore offers the option of co-ordinated seats, planters, litter bins and picnic sets. Please refer to the Voltan brochure for more details. The Milan perch bench is a unique design of perch in that it offers a footrest which is surprisingly comfortable. The bench is produced by Orsogril and their patented grating is used on the bench body and footrest, these two components are then mounted on a steel frame to provide a high level of stability and ridgity. The bench body has a generous curve giving support to the user. This striking design is suitable for all rapid transport seating applications. Imported exclusively by Townscape.

Metro M.I. Seat
METRO RANGE The Metro M.I. seat has been designed for mobility impaired people in consultation with the Accessible Transport Officer from the Passenger Transport Section of the Planning Department of Essex County Council. This collaboration is typical of Townscape’s policy of developing partnerships with their customers to meet specific needs. The ergonomic features of the design, while meeting the requirements of the mobility impaired public, also provide high levels of comfort for the able-bodied. This means that whole sites can be furnished without the need for designating areas of segregated seating which is discriminatory, and has the additional benefit of simplifying ordering and installation. The key features that have been designed to assist the mobility impaired person are the seat height of 455mm, the broad flat horizontal armrests and the careful balance between the shallow pitch of the seat and the angle of the backrest. These elements work together to facilitate ease of entry to and exit from the seat while giving secure comfortable support when seated. The design is available in a choice of four main underframe types; two on-ground one in-ground and another wall mounted. The options can further be extended by a back-to-back version formed by two wall-mounting units bolted to a sturdy in-ground square section post. A companion product is the Metro litter bin which is formed by two matching perforated sheet metal components joined and supported by a Uform echoing the theme of the broad seat armrest.

Millennium Trio
MILLENNIUM RANGE In their Millennium seat designs Townscape anticipate trends for the new Century by building on the success of the comfortable Voltan seat body-shell by the inclusion of a new and exclusive Millennium motif punching. The punching motif is in the shape of a slot and half slot making the impression of a stylised ‘M’ to indicate Millennium. The new designs are currently available in the Mainline, Trio and Super Single formats offering a seating range which is high on style, quality and durability. The seat bodies are constructed from 2mm perforated sheet and formed to a shape which has been extensively researched for posture comfort and support. The dramatic sweep of the curved leg is a design highlight but also gives stability to the seat, which can be freestanding because of the leg design or can be fixed to the ground by the fixing tab which is pre-drilled. The legs are bolted to the seat frame providing a strong and rigid unit. The armrests, which are optional, have been designed to co-ordinate with the legs and when used together, the overall design is given its full impact. The Super Single 525 and 410 designs can be used for any of the Townscape beam-mounted formats. These design features extend the product’s ability to interior as well as exterior sites and the comfort level is further enhanced for interior use by the availability of upholstered seat pads which are firmly fixed as an integral part of the seat shell. In addition two co-ordinated litter bins are now available.

CITIZEN RANGE
Citizen Mainline Seat
Hedra Seat
The Citizen seating range has three seat and three bench options based on matching prestige concrete base units. The Hedra seat and bench are made of a heavy duty African hardwood section in either Sapele or Emeri. The treatment of the hardwood also enhances the richness of the grain which complements the fine 6mm natural aggregates of the Prestige mix, resulting in a product which combines a robust construction with an aesthetic profile. The Voltan bench, Mainline seat and Trio seat-shells which are used as universal elements of both the Voltan and Citizen ranges offer a distinctive stylistic option by combining polyester coated perforated metal with the refined Prestige concrete finish. The standard concrete base units provide a stable freestanding support for both seats and benches in supervised areas. Where the integral bevelled concrete foot detail could cause damage to the floor surface, this can be omitted in favour of separate high-density urethane pads bolted to the bottom of the concrete bases. In unsupervised areas provision can be made for on or in-ground fixing. Co-ordinating litter bins and planters are also available.
Citizen Trio Seat
The Jet bench follows the growing popularity towards all-concrete items of street furniture with a smooth ‘granite’ type visual surface finish. This modern streamlined bench has two pedestal supports and a solid slab top making a sturdy but simple and attractive bench unit that will blend to any kind of environment and requires minimal maintenance.

CONCRETE SEATING Vandal resisting properties are of considerable importance in the choice of seating for public places. In this range of concrete seats and benches, good design has been coupled with sheer ruggedness to give modern styling whilst maintaining durability. The Lindrick, Thornton and Maidstone seats are to standard local authority specification, but the Maidstone has an extra refinement of sturdier designed cantilevers to give a much stronger support. The Thornton is provided with threaded inserts in the base for permanent fixing to the ground if required. Where it is found necessary for even greater durability, the Hounslow seat and Eastbourne bench are built to a substantially higher specification and have extra thickness on the timber slats. All seat ends are available in exposed aggregate, smooth white or plain grey finish. It is however, worth noting that the rougher exposed aggregate surface is less easily vandalised. All timber slats are machined from quality hardwood originating from husbanded forests of Africa. This timber is exceptionally smooth to the touch and will generally keep its shape when left out in the British climate. The slats are treated and supplied complete with plated fittings and pellets for counterbores.

VARIFORM The Variform range of products provides a wide range of options to create seating and table areas. It is ideal for all kinds of leisure applications although there is no reason why it cannot be used in any environmental situation.
V10
The seats and tables can be both above or below ground fixing. Special shapes or lengths, for example a tree surround, can be produced to customer requirements. Planting units and litter bins from the Townscape range will also complement all Variform items.

CONCOURSE RANGE The range relies on the use of two basic units, a circular unit and an interlocking unit, linking together horizontally. The interlocking unit is of similar dimensions to the circular unit, but with two equal and opposite arcuate portions removed allowing it to mate two adjoining circular units. The concave surfaces of the interlocking unit engages with the convex surfaces of the circular unit, preventing lateral movement, providing stability, and allowing flexibility in layout. The interlocking design is protected by British Patent No. 2077796.
Each of the circular and interlocking units comprises a base, bottom ring and extension ring. These rings are designed to receive component parts such as seats and litter tops. Seating is designed to bolt on to interlocking and circular units. Hardwood or G.R.P. squab seats can be added to a single circular or interlocking unit which is at the ideal sit-upon height. Alternatively a hardwood straddle bench can be fitted between a pair of circular units, although the method of fixing will restrict the degree of flexibility. In pedestrian precincts a unified layout can be obtained providing secluded seating areas with decorative physical barriers to guide pedestrians and prevent vehicular access. Their flexibility allows them to follow a curved carriageway edge serving as a guard-rail and planting display.

Materials And Finishing Steel All steel parts conform to BS4360 43A or 43C. During their finishing process, steel products will be shotblasted to SA 2.5/ 3.0 or acid cleaned prior to electro zinc plating. This process will provide an even deposit of zinc and zinc alloy over the whole surface of the material. The product is then chrome passivated and rinsed, this improves the surface finish and ensures maximum chemical adhesion of subsequent polyester finishes. Plating is applied to a minimum thickness of 15 microns. The sacrificial and sealing action of the zinc prevents any rust staining if severely damaged.
Cast Iron All cast iron parts are produced in SG iron BS,EN 1563:1997, a ductile material. This means they will not break under impact. Cast iron products undergo two fettling and two shotblasting processes to remove all surface imperfections and surface contamination. A two pack epoxy grey primer is then applied with d.f.t. of 50/75 microns. This paint conforms to BS 5493 and BS4652 Type 3. It will withstand exterior exposure for three years and will not break down at 2000 hours salt spray testing.
Polyester Powder Coating Following their priming process, steel and cast iron products are polyester powder coated by electrostatic process which ensures complete coverage. The coating is then cured in heated ovens under controlled conditions to give a very hard wearing surface finish with excellent resistance to exterior exposure. The combined system will give a minimum thickness of 90 microns, this ensures that when severely damaged, the polyester coating will not lift. Additionally the sacrificial and sealing action of the zinc layer will prevent unsightly brown rust staining. The polyester powder has been thoroughly tested under controlled conditions. Samples tested for resistance to salt spray, humidity and water soak at 40 degrees centigrade showed no breakdown and were resistant to most acids, alkalis and oils. Exterior exposure tests to BS 3900 Part 2 showed minimal loss of gloss and colour after 2000 hours. Similar results were obtained with a 12 month Florida exposure (45 degree angle). The range of colours offered by Townscape have been developed combining the latest polyester resin and pigment technology to produce a product with excellent decorative effect and superior outdoor durability.
Stainless Steel Stainless steel plate used for the construction of seating conforms to specification for grade 316 BS 1449 part 2. This is an austenitic steel, non magnetic, has a high tensile strength and offers the best corrosion resistance. A 240 grit or Satin finish as standard.

Brightex For a sheet steel with the stainless steel appearance the Brightex finish has been developed. The base material is mild steel and can be plate or perforated. A cleaning and plating process followed by a polyester powder coating of clear lacquer creates the final finish.
Aluminium Extruded aluminium and castings are included in the range of products offered. Aluminium alloys have a generally high resistance to the effects of atmospheric exposure and have a weight advantage over other materials. The material receives a two pack epoxy primer prior to powder coating.
Concrete Cements used in manufacture are Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) or White Portland Cement (Snowcrete) all of which comply with BS12;1991. Aggregates are naturally occurring materials, crushed or uncrushed, complying with the quality requirements of BS 882 : 1992 or alternatively coarse aggregates which comply with clause 5 of BS 1047 : 1983. All quarried materials vary from time to time in colour and texture, these variations however do not affect the technical soundness of the product. Colour of aggregates may also vary when in a wet or dry state. The batching of concrete is carried out in modern weighbatching machinery, computer controlled, with probes in all aggregates to ensure careful control of water content. The result is consistent batching to uniform specification. The accuracy of the products is ensured by the use of high quality master patterns and then moulds used in the casting operation. Each product is vibrocast and subsequently hand finished ensuring conformity of surface finish.
Timber All timbers are machined from quality hardwood originating from carefully husbanded forests of Africa and Malaysia. The timber is exceptionally smooth grained, however, all hardwoods are susceptible to splits and shakes appearing over the course of time. All timber components are coated with high quality wood treatment before assembly and despatch.
Maintenance All Townscape products require a minimum of maintenance and aftercare. A regular inspection to verify ground fixings and inspection of the finished coatings of both metal and timber components is essential. Damage to paintwork can be remedied by application of a suitable primer and topcoat with compatible products. It should also be noted that after outdoor exposure, all treated timbers can fade through the action of sunlight, rain and stain migration. To restore timber components to their original condition and maintain the level of wood preservation, a regular maintenance programme must be established.

STANDARD COLOURS A standard range of 18 RAL colours is available as illustrated here, black and white are also offered as standard colours. Other RAL colours can be supplied subject to special quotation. It should be noted that all manmade or natural materials will lose some of their original qualities over a period of time due to the effects of exposure to the sun or ultra-violet rays (UV). The pigment and paint system researched and developed by Townscape are to the highest specification and will give exceptional retention of original colour for many years. The resins are UV stable and the pigments are UV fast. Typical results for intensive testing show the white paint to satisfy a 3 year Florida test with no creaming or chalking.
