Tips for Selecting the Best Minnesota Worship Seating
The right worship seating is essential to the success of any renovation or new construction. If it is a renovation, consider whether your worship seating should be reconfigured. Here, the assistance of a worship seating specialist will prove valuable whether you are in Minneapolis, Saint Paul or Rochester. Preferred Seating has decades of experience in this commercial
seating niche.
Pews or Theater-style Seating?
It is often possible to improve traffic flow and aesthetics with theater-style seats. By contrast, the long, linear nature of pews may inhibit your seating design options. When they made their debut centuries ago, church pews were an upgrade for worshippers. Before pews, they stood,
kneeled, or both.
Today, theater-style seating is often an upgrade from traditional pews. Individual church chairs increase comfort without sacrificing durability. They also reduce sound transmission, making it easier to hear the sermon or listen to the choir. Customize fabrics and finishes to align their look with that of your worship space.
Stackable Chairs
Augment your permanent worship seating with stackable chairs. Enjoy the flexibility of adding or subtracting seats at will. Expand your seating capacity for well-attended holiday worship services. Alter your layout to better host musical concerts, theatrical plays, or major conferences. Customize these chairs to blend seamlessly with your fixed seating.
Seating decisions will impact your faith community for years to come. This is true whether you represent a century-old cathedral or an auditorium-style megachurch. It is also true whether your community of faith worships in a traditional house of worship or a cozy chapel.
The Aesthetics of Your Worship Space
Is the design of your worship space more traditional or modern? Your church seat selection should seamlessly blend with the architecture of your facility. Seating choice must also align with the religious traditions of your community.
At Preferred, we make it easy to customize the look and feel of your church seats. Choose the color and texture of fabric that you prefer. Look for stain-resistant materials that will withstand the test of time. Do the same with the color of the hard surfaces.
Be patient and thorough with your seating project. Your due diligence today will deliver lasting results tomorrow.
