Changing Room Bench Dimensions and Sizing for Your Washrooms

When shopping around for changing room benches for your commercial washrooms, one of the most essential considerations is where and how exactly the benches will fit into the size and design of your washroom. This article will briefly discuss the recommended changing room bench dimensions and sizes for your washrooms.

Changing Room Benches and Washroom layouts

Washrooms must be hygienic and regularly cleaned, so you might want to consider making your benches cantilevered. A cantilevered bench is anchored at one end, so rather than being free-standing, it is fixed to the wall of the washroom. This means cleaning the washroom floors will be much easier, reducing the risk of corrosion to the frame connections to the floor.

They’re also helpful for saving space in your washrooms, as they will be mounted against the wall, leaving more space in the centre of your washroom for additional, free-standing changing room benches, also known as double island changing room benches.

Changing Room Bench Dimensions

When it comes to the correct size of bench to use for your washroom, this all depends on who the washroom and benches are designed for and who will be using them;

• The height of adult changing room benches should be around 450mm.
• For teenagers/secondary students (as an example), they should be a bit shorter, at around 400mm.
• Finally, changing room benches should be around 350mm for younger children like primary school students.

If your bench seats are to be installed around the perimeter of a changing room, you will need to measure the gap between walls and divide this by the standard bench lengths offered. If the benches are quickly required, you may need to buy them in modular lengths of 600mm, 900mm, or 1200mm. If you have time to wait for the benches to be made up (approximately 4 weeks), then bespoke sizes are possible. We suggest a maximum length of approximately 2.5 metres to ensure they fit through doorways when installing them in the changing room.

It is essential to consider who will use your washroom when deciding what size of changing room bench to use. Most of our changing room benches can be customised in sizes and dimensions, so you should always be able to find the right fit for your commercial changing room.

You should always consider a range of factors when deciding what changing room bench dimensions are needed for your washroom, such as user preference, the design of your washroom, and how much space is available to you.
