Simple installation for maximum stability
The installation of the Sócrates 240 with an etched finish requires a precise approach to ensure stability and durability. The bench is self-supporting and can be placed directly on a solid, flat surface. For high-traffic areas or locations requiring additional stability, anchoring is recommended. This involves drilling holes into the surface, filling them with strong resin or mortar, and securely fastening bolts (DIN 931 M16 x 140 mm).
Safe transport and accurate placement
Transporting the Sócrates 240 must be done carefully due to its weight of 1483 kg. Use polyester slings and professional lifting equipment to prevent damage to the etched finish during handling and placement. Ensure proper positioning for stable and secure installation.
Low-maintenance and durable
Maintenance of the Sócrates 240 is minimal thanks to its durable and water-repellent material. Regular cleaning can be done with water and a soft brush. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended. These low-maintenance features ensure the bench retains its aesthetics and functionality, even with intensive use.
