Customising Your Retractable Seating
Every venue tells a story, and your seating is a big part of it. From safety features to visual finishes, the custom choices you make can shape how people experience your space.
That’s why at Hussey Seatway, we offer a wide range of accessories and finishes designed to enhance performance, improve usability, and bring your venue’s identity to life. In this blog, we break down the custom options available and how they can transform your retractable or bleacher seating.
Wood Finishes
Wood finishes add warmth and style to fascia boards, aisle infill panels, armrests, and seat backs. Choose from a standard range of laminates and veneers or request a custom option to complement your venue’s interior. Wood panels can be slotted or perforated to improve acoustic performance.
Upholstery
Upholstery is one of the most noticeable elements of your seating. We offer a wide range of colours, from subtle tones to bold combinations. Our fabrics are sourced from Camira, but we can also work with your preferred supplier for bespoke designs.
Side Coverings
Side coverings are important for safety and aesthetics, especially when your seating isn’t flush against the side walls. We offer two main options, both of which are available in removable or self-storing applications.
- Panels: Available in finishes such as acrylic, metal, or wood, panels can be matched to your venue’s design for a clean, integrated look.
- Drapes: Our standard fabric drape provides a neat finish, but colour variations and branded drapes are available for venues that want to incorporate logos or school colours.
Seat Numbers
Seat numbers help with organisation and accessibility. We provide options in different sizes, shapes, and materials to suit your seating style. For venues that require inclusive solutions, braille seat numbers are also available.
Why These Options Matter
Customisation isn’t just about looks; it’s about shaping how people feel when they use your space, supporting your brand identity, and meeting practical needs like safety and accessibility. With the right accessories, your retractable seating becomes a seamless part of your venue. We have extensive experience working with architects, specifiers and theatre consultants to deliver bespoke, turnkey projects.
