BB357 Beam Seating
Compact polyurethane airport beam seating with a pressure die-cast frame — built for high-intensity terminal use across 2- to 6-seat configurations.
The BB357 is UFL's entry in the polyurethane beam seating range, combining a deliberately minimal silhouette with the structural resilience required in landside terminal environments. The seat and back panels are moulded in flexible polyurethane, which provides uniform load distribution over extended dwell periods without the cracking and delamination risks associated with rigid plastic shells in climates with large diurnal temperature swings. The pressure die-cast frame delivers high structural rigidity while keeping unit weight low enough for installation crews to handle individual bays without mechanical assistance. The BB357 ships in configurations from 2 to 6 seats per run, covering gate lounges, concourse corridors, and transfer areas where row length must match available floor depth precisely. Dimensional data confirmed by UFL: 2-seat unit is 1,185 W × 665 D × 895 H mm; 3-seat 1,750 W; 4-seat 2,318 W; 5-seat 2,886 W; 6-seat 3,452 W — all at 430 mm seat height. The clean profile simplifies cleaning under and between units, a relevant factor in terminals with frequent floor-scrubbing programmes. Six seat colours (Black, Blue, Green, Charcoal, Light Grey, Wine) are offered against Black or Silver frame finishes, enabling specification-matched procurement. A 3-year structural warranty is standard. For GCC airports, the PU shell resists UV-accelerated surface fading better than fabric, and the compact depth suits concourse layouts where every metre of clear-way width counts.
