Improve your venue - Seating Refurbishment and Renovation

Do you want to keep the bleachers in your venue, but replace the old seats? Would your venue benefit from transforming its telescopic system into an automatic telescopic system? Do you want to keep the seats in your venue but replace the foam and restore the comfort factor? We offer renovation and refurbishment for existing seating systems and seats whether they've been made by Master Industrie or another manufacturer.

Tailored To Your Needs

A tired-looking seating system can be transformed to look and function like new. Our comprehensive packages for restoring and adapting retractable or fixed seating are customized to our clients' exact requirements.

If your venue's seating system is obsolete and you can no longer host the number of events that you would like to - but you don't have the budget for an entirely new system we can renovate your existing platform as a cost-effective and quick alternative to a completely new stand.

Breathing New Life Into Seating Systems

Typically, refurbishment programs are carried out when a system requires updating to meet health and safety standards or simply requires the replacement of old and worn upholstery and finishes with new, comfortable and modern materials. We can refurbish and replace various elements such as carpets, seats, upholstery, platform finishes and accessories to bring new beauty and functionality to a dated venue with, for example, new aisle lighting, floor coverings, facings and railings. If your stand does not meet current safety standards, we can update it to ensure it remains compliant.

Refurbishment or Replacement Seating System. What's Right For You?

We're often asked to help clients decide the right approach for their venue. Although nothing replaces a proper conversation, and we love to have those, here's a list of some of the pros and cons around the question of whether to replace or refurbish to help start the decision-making process.

Refurbishment

Replacement

Refurbishment

If you're keeping the stand, there are limitations to fully evolving the possibilities within the available space.
No access to the latest updates
Limited adaption to the latest trends in venue seating
No new warranty

Replacement

A significantly higher cost that also requires much planning and dedicated resources.
Longer shutdown period that will impact on the bottom line.
Higher environmental impact both in terms of waste, and energy use.

Refurbishment

Make a *look like new* stand from an old one. In the scenario, there's only limited cost as the works are all about cosmetics (foam, fabric, carpet and so on).
Lower environmental impact. This speaks for itself, and not only because the waste is limited and a construction program uses a lot of energy.
The shorter shutdown period lessens the impact on revenues.
You can add some features, like seat numbering, front panels or LED nosings to improve the overall experience - without breaking the bank!

Replacement

With fewer space and design limitations to consider, there's an opportunity to rethink the stand in line with current trends and your venue strategy.
Full warranty on the entire stand and its seats as opposed to piecemeal warranties for individual components.
Latest design updates and innovations will be available to you like automated seat operation. (Check out the Eurêka and Retraclift systems too if you're interested in seating innovations).
Conformity to the very latest standards in materials, environmental and health and safety requirements.

Venue Optimization and Improvements
