Products

  • What is the difference between a seat and a bench?
    The difference is simple, a seat has a backrest and a bench does not. The confusion comes between the UK and US definitions, as in America its the opposite, a seat has no back rest and a bench does. Langley Design manufacture all there products in the UK supplying street furniture nationally, so we will stick to the UK definition.
  • What is the standard seat/bench height?
    Our standard bench height is 450mm. Some products may vary slightly and we can make most of our products to suit your specific needs either higher or lower just let us know your requirements when submitting your enquiry.
  • How do I understand your various product codes?
    Although our codes may seem confusing at first, every part goes to make your product the way you want in the material and finish you require. Our product data sheets have a key to aide identification and there is also a list of the codes and their meanings on our product code explanation page.
  • Are there lower height products for smaller users?
    We make all our products to order and can adjust the heights of all our tables, seats and benching units to meet a range of dimensions or the specific requirements of end users. Just make a note of your requirements when submitting your enquiry.
  • Can I have a bench extended in length?
    As we make all our products to order it is more than likely that we can accommodate a change in length, with a little tweaking, to match your requirements. Please specify the exact length at the time of your enquiry for accurate pricing.
