Simple installation for ultimate stability
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).
Safe transport and careful positioning
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.
Low-maintenance and long-lasting
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.
