Bench desking shares one frame between several people, so you fit more desks into a floor than you would with individual office desks and only pay for the legs once. The systems here cover the Oslo single row and back to back benches, Impulse single row benches in two and three person runs, and the Evolve Plus benches, all with extension kits so a run grows a position at a time. Starter units include both end frames and extensions include one, which is the detail most people miss on a first order.
Planning a bench run
Set out the run before you count desks. Allow clear space behind each chair for someone to walk past a seated colleague, and remember a back to back bench needs that gangway on both sides. Work in whole positions, since a bench is a starter plus extensions and cannot be trimmed to fill an awkward gap at the end of a wall. In a narrow room a single row against the wall beats squeezing in a back to back, and the Impulse Plus bench collection is worth a look for tighter footprints.
Power is the real reason bench desking works. One feed can serve a whole run through the shared beam, so decide where it enters and order the in-desk power modules with the desks rather than chasing sockets later. If some of the team want to stand, back to back sit-stand desks drop into the same layout.
Screens, storage and the rest of the run
Colleagues facing each other need something between them, and desktop and bench screens clamp to the shared top without eating desk depth. Underneath, mobile units from pedestals and drawers tuck away when the layout changes. For everything that does not live on the desk, storage and filing has tambours that double as a low divider at the end of a run.
Bench desking installed across Suffolk and Essex
Office Masters is the online arm of Neil Andrew Office Solutions, a family run company on Ransomes Europark in Ipswich with roots in the business Malcolm Andrew started in the 1980s. Long runs are heavy and awkward, so we install as well as supply. Recent work has taken us to Bury St Edmunds, Chelmsford, Woodbridge and Norwich.
Send a plan of the room with windows, doors and floor boxes marked and we will come back with how many positions really fit and where the power should land. Free standard delivery on the UK mainland runs to five working days, a next working day upgrade is available at checkout, and pre-build with installation means the run is up and level before your team arrive. Phone 01473 464644 if a conversation would be quicker.
