Historical Theater Chairs
We understand that in certain cases it is important to preserve as much of the historical workmanship as possible when renovating theater chairs. We can patch wood veneer, replace wood backs and bottoms, and remove gum and old paint. We then electrostatically restore wood and metal parts and apply a coat of custom powder paint. The seats are then re-upholstered.
We have restored theatre and auditorium seats at famous venues, such as the Paris Opera House and the Center Stage Performing Arts Center at West Point. Many historical theater seat renovations involve wood reveal theater seats. These seats typically emerged from the early 1900’s and often feature all-wood aisle end panels, wood back and solid wood armrests and luxury fabrics and cushions. When these seats are renovated, they can be retrofitted with ergonomic styling, modern or traditional designs with a large selection of upholstery fabrics, steel or cast iron standards, gentle lifting seats and molded foam upholstery.
Preferred Seating venue seating renovations are designed to last. Our self-lifting seat rotates on steel hinge rods that won’t wear out. This torsion spring system is very quiet. Our ergonomic seat is designed to fit the contours of the body in a seated position, and the curves of the cushion provide support and help remove pressure. The seats are bolted to the floor via strong steel tubes, bolts and a steel foot welded to the bottom of the steel tube.
Affordable Used Auditorium Seating
Another cost-effective solution to renovating your auditorium or lecture seats is used seating. Many theaters and lecture rooms continually replace their seating, giving you the opportunity to grab a deal on budget; upscale seating that can fit your requirements and budget. Our website features a selection of available used auditorium and theater seating that can be used in a variety of settings.
If you are looking for new seating for an auditorium, performing arts venue, school lecture or theater seats, there are a variety of styles and price ranges available. Today’s auditorium seats are designed to meet the demands of continual use and are engineered to match modern or retro interiors with contemporary materials made to last. Modern fabrics and quiet, strong components team together to provide durable seating that compliments any décor.
Removable Seats
We can also install removable auditorium chairs that allows you to customize the amount of seating you have at special events. This allows you to enlarge the staging for certain events and provide extra seating for premium attractions. Opting for removable seating gives you maximum versatility for theater and lecture auditoriums where seating needs naturally vary and having extra space is a benefit.
Lecture Hall Seats
Lecture hall seating today needs to accommodate students’ technology needs. Chairs with tablet arms and electrical outlets and data ports are replacing the old standards. Today’s lecture hall tablet arms are made to fit students’ computers and come in standard, oversize and laptop sizes. Arm mechanisms have also experienced innovations, and you can choose from fold back, flip up, or fixed. There are also opportunities to select from pre-owned lecture hall seating that will allow you to furnish your lecture hall on a budget. Like all Preferred Seating, our new and used lecture hall seats are quality manufactured to last the wear and tear of daily use.
Church Seating
Preferred seating also supplies church seating in a variety of styles and options. Upholstered pews, ergonomic styles and theater seating options are available for a church venue. Stackable, cushioned wooden chairs with kneelers are a popular model and allow for a number of different arrangements.
