Hard Choices Made Easy: Why Non-Upholstered Cleanroom Seating Can Make the Most Sense

Blog

Savvy specifiers know that key factors to consider when selecting cleanroom seating not only include ensuring models are designed to accommodate specific ISO level standards, but working heights, ergonomic functionality, and continual duration of use. While upholstered chairs and stools generally deliver a softer, cushioned experience for multishift technical spaces or applications requiring technicians to sit for extended periods, their non-upholstered counterparts can often fit the bill in situations where prolonged sitting is not a requirement.

Depending on model, non-upholstered BioFit chairs and stools are crafted for ISO 4 to ISO 8 cleanrooms and combination particulate/static-control environments. Seats and backs of non-upholstered chairs come in resilient self-skinned urethane, polypropylene featuring antimicrobial properties and UV inhibitors, and flexible one-piece polyshells. Stool models come with steel or urethane seats. All of our cleanroom seating features:

  • Ergonomic support and intuitive functionality
  • A range of seat height ranges for desk-, bench- and standing-height work
  • Five-star bases for stability with adjustable or affixed footrings 
  • Zinc- or chrome-plated metal parts
  • Capped pneumatic cylinders to prevent inadvertent discharge of gas or particles
