At 240 cm the Sócrates Banca 240® accommodates three to four people seated side by side at a comfortable distance. This scale makes it well suited as an accessible bench on park paths and pedestrian routes where standards for accessible route interruption require seating at regular intervals. In urban parks, along canal paths, on campuses, and near care facilities, the Sócrates Banca 240® functions as the rest point that makes a difference for visitors who cannot complete the full route in one movement.
The Sócrates Banca 240® is a monolithic concrete bench: no timber slats that weather, no steel frames that rust, no rubber spacers that come loose. The cast concrete with polished finish is UV-stable, frost-resistant with a correctly applied waterproofing treatment, and requires no periodic retreatment. The bench responds to weather — wet concrete is darker, dry concrete lighter — but it does not age in the way organic or metallic materials age. This makes it suitable for projects with a service life requirement of twenty years or more.
A concrete bench without visible joints or fixings communicates quality in a way composite or coated materials cannot. The Sócrates Banca 240® is one continuously cast element — what you see is what is there. This makes it recognisable for the designers and specification writers who distinguish between a bench that lasts twenty years and one that needs replacing at the next plaza renovation. The bench fits in the standard Escofet colour palette; for project-specific colours Servibo requests a quotation from Escofet.
A sequence of Sócrates Banca 240® benches along a walking path or promenade creates a rhythm that accompanies the route. That rhythm works best when the remaining hardscape elements follow the same material logic: bollards and planters in concrete, waste bins from the Escofet collection, bike stands that introduce no contrasting material accent. Servibo offers through the Escofet and Urbidermis collections a complete palette of complementary elements for the design of outdoor public space and coordinates delivery through a single point of contact for Belgium and Luxembourg.
Does the Sócrates Banca 240® have a backrest or armrests?
No. The Sócrates Banca 240® is a monolithic concrete element without backrest or armrests. This is a deliberate choice: a bench without rests allows multiple seating positions — sideways, upright, leaning against an adjacent object — and is accessible from both long sides. This flexibility suits parks, campuses, and the edge of urban plazas.
Is the Sócrates Banca 240® available with integrated LED lighting?
Yes. The Sócrates Banca 240® is available in both polished and acid-etched finish, both also available with integrated LED lighting. The LED module illuminates the bench from below along the full 240 cm. Power supply must be installed before paving is laid.
Can the Sócrates Banca 240® be combined with other elements in the Sócrates range?
Yes. The Sócrates Banca 240® uses the same concrete mix and finishing processes as the Sócrates Banca 360®, the Sócrates Cubo®, and the Sócrates Cenicero®. Combining different model sizes in the same finish gives the designer freedom to differentiate zones by use pattern without breaking the material logic.
For projects in public tender we provide specification texts that align with the standard technical descriptions for street furniture. Contact us at info@servibo.be. Technical sheets and material samples for assessing finish quality are also available.

The installation of the Sócrates 240 requires a precise approach to ensure safety and durability. Thanks to its self-standing design, the bench can be easily placed on a solid, flat surface. For high-traffic areas or locations requiring extra stability, anchoring is recommended. This process involves drilling holes into the surface, filling them with a strong resin or mortar, and securely fastening bolts (DIN 931 M16 x 140 mm).
During transport, professional lifting equipment is essential for the Sócrates 240, which weighs 1483 kg. Polyester slings should be used to safely move the bench and prevent damage to its polished finish. Careful handling during installation is required to avoid scratches or damage.
The Sócrates 240 requires minimal maintenance thanks to the water-repellent properties of its material. For regular upkeep, the surface can be cleaned with water and mild soap. Stubborn stains can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner. This ease of maintenance ensures the bench retains its aesthetic and functional properties even after years of intensive use.

Working on a specification for a project with monolithic street furniture? Servibo provides ready-to-use specification texts for the Sócrates collection.
Request specification text for this modelEscofet 1886 SA uses high-quality raw materials. Polished or acid-washed concrete with natural stone aggregates ages gracefully without coatings. Five-year warranty on all concrete elements. AISI 316 stainless steel for Cenicero inserts.
The 240 cm concrete bench is cast in a single piece. No visible joints or seams. This makes the Banca 240 an architectural element: it not only supports the user but also marks the space with a presence that goes beyond seating comfort.
Yes. Banca 240 and Cubo share the same height and depth. They can be placed freely side by side without fixation to each other. The designer determines the composition; Servibo assists with laying out the arrangement.
Polished or acid-washed concrete ages gracefully and requires no periodic maintenance. Cleaning with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive product is sufficient.
