Auditorium Seating
Theater seating is a more modern option for accommodating a congregation. Though most 'traditional' churches may still honor pews as the best choice, auditorium or theater seating is becoming more popular. This is because of the multiuse of the facilities. Auditorium chairs give these multipurpose rooms the option to become a meeting place, an entertainment area, or a sanctuary. There are many things to think about before purchasing pews or chairs for a church.
One of the most important aspects of buying auditorium seating is the basic engineering of the seat design and its construction. There is typically a 20% increase in capacity versus using pews, for instance, because of the spacing between rows and the certainty of how much space each person is given in which to sit. It is also important to keep in mind the level of customer service and price breaks the company is willing to offer. Learn as much as possible from the sales representative about the reasons that make their company 'top' in the auditorium seating business.
The next thing to consider when buying theater seating is the comfort. If people cannot be comfortable in the seat, they possibly will not come again. This is very important when considering how many visitors and new members of the church pass through each year. Details to consider in the theater seat are lumbar support, fabric choices, and the type of material the chair frame is covered in. The latest technology in chair frame covering is molded foam. Make sure to have all the details of the inner workings of the auditorium seating before making a purchase decision.
The end panels are important when considering which style of theater seating to be purchased. Typically auditorium seating comes two ways: wood panels and fabric panels. Numbers can be added to each one, but with fabric panels custom embroidery can be added. It's almost time to consider cost, but first measurements and parking lot requirements need to be taken into consideration.
After considering all these options it is time to determine a budget per seat. Typically pews cost about $80 a seat whereas theater seats range from $100 to $120 per seat. Costs will be higher when adding things such as custom details, embroidery, and other features. When figuring the cost per chair, make sure to understand discounts given for certain quantities bought and make sure to have adequate warranties. God has presented you with the great responsibility of helping to grow a church. Nehemiah says in the second chapter verse 20; "The God of heaven will give us success".
