Bench desking is how you seat the most people in the least floor space without it feeling like a call centre. We carry the Impulse, Oslo and Evolve Plus ranges in single row and back-to-back runs, from 2 person starters up to 6 person banks, with extension kits to grow a run one bay at a time. Shared legs mean fewer components than the same headcount on individual rectangular desks, which keeps the cost per seat down and the install quick.
Choosing a bench desk
Start with the run, not the desk. A back-to-back bench puts two rows of people on one shared frame, so a 4 person B2B bank takes noticeably less floor than four separate desks, and the spine between the rows swallows the cabling. Single row benches suit walls and window runs. Both the Impulse and Evolve Plus ranges work on a starter plus extension logic: you buy a starter bay with full legs, then add extension kits that share the leg of the bay before, which is why it pays to plan the whole run before ordering anything.
Think about power early. Bench spines are made to carry cable baskets and under-desk power units, so pair the run with proper cable management rather than trailing extension leads along the floor. And if some of the team want to stand for part of the day, there are height adjustable bench banks in 2, 4 and 6 person versions listed with our sit-stand desks.
Screens and storage for bench runs
A shared bench gets loud, and personal territory gets fuzzy, so most installs add desktop screens between facing positions and a pedestal under each seat. Monitor arms win back the shallower tops on slimline benches, and everything here belongs to the wider desks and workstations range, so finishes match across the office.
Bench desking in Belfast and across Northern Ireland
Office Interior Solutions supply and install bench desking for offices in Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey, Antrim, Bangor, Newry and beyond. Bench runs arrive as a lot of boxes and a lot of frame; our fitters build the run square and level, sort the cabling into the spine, and take every scrap of packaging away with us when we leave.
If you are planning a full floor, send us the floor plan and the headcount and we will lay out the runs for you, walkways and all, before you commit to anything. Ring +44 (0)2890 770019 and talk it through with someone who has installed hundreds of these.
