The four (4) elements to consider….Comfort, Architectural Design, Usage & Cost
Pews: Churches more inclined to order pews are influenced by
– Comfort…..most churches purchase the most economical pews with cushion seat & back.
– Design…..pews generally look better in traditional buildings
-Architectural Design…..pews generally look better in traditional buildings
-Usage…… for maximum capacity, pews offer the only “continuous” seating surface
-Cost………for mid range church seating budgets
Auditorium Seats: Those wanting these seats are looking for: –
-Comfort…..designated seats is usually the prime reason with an “automotive” feel the second
-Architectural Design….almost always used with contemporary building designs
-Usage…….allows for a radius layout, gravity lift seats
-Cost……….for higher range church budgets
Worship Chairs: First used in multi purpose facilities now in all types of buildings
-Comfort,,,,, always as comfortable as cushioned pews, often more comfortable
-Architectural Design…..usually work well in all buildings except in heavy gothic designs
-Cost………for tighter church budgets
-Usage…….. layout can be rearranged to meet changing needs
