Street furniture for business parks
Whether it’s a company site, an industrial estate or an office complex: well-equipped outdoor areas provide space for breaks, socialising and a pleasant environment. With benches, seating sets, bicycle parking systems and waste bins from ERLAU, you can design functional corporate spaces that meet the day-to-day needs of staff, visitors and operators.
What matters when fitting out business premises
Outdoor areas at businesses serve a variety of purposes. They provide space for lunch breaks, welcome visitors, allow for the parking of bicycles, and must be easy to manage as part of day-to-day operations. For facility management, procurement and site managers, therefore, it is not just design and comfort that matter, but also durable materials, cleaning, maintenance and equipment tailored to specific needs.
Outdoor seating provides staff with a place to relax and socialise. With table-bench combinations such as Parador, or individual benches and tables from the Patio and Quadri ranges, break areas can be designed to suit different group sizes. Depending on the location and design concept, there is a choice of different materials.
Well-designed bicycle stands provide dedicated parking spaces for staff and visitors. ERLAU offers bike racks such as the Aalen and Quadri, as well as the Riga row bicycle stands for larger parking areas. The range can be supplemented with secure cycle parking spaces using the lockable Pedalo cycle box.
Outdoor furniture is frequently used on company premises in a variety of weather conditions. Depending on the product, coated steel structures and open wire mesh surfaces offer durable, easy-to-clean solutions. The type of fixings, the need for spare parts and accessibility for cleaning should also be taken into account when making a selection.
Durable equipment pays for itself not only at the time of purchase, but above all in day-to-day operation and over many years of use
Designing outdoor spaces that suit everyday working life
A well-planned outdoor area enhances the use of a business premises. Seating provides a place for short breaks, Bicycle stands ensure organised parking facilities, and Waste bins create suitable waste disposal points. The requirements vary depending on the area: On a company terrace, the focus is on people spending time together, whilst at entrances and along busy walkways, compact, functional solutions are required. ERLAU offers a range of product series for this purpose, which can be selected according to use, available space, material and design. This enables companies to equip their outdoor areas in a targeted manner, whilst also taking into account the requirements of day-to-day operations.

Robust and low maintenance in day-to-day use
On company premises, seating, bicycle stands and waste bins must withstand regular use and changing weather conditions. For operators and facility management teams, durable surfaces, easily accessible designs and simple cleaning are therefore key selection criteria. A Rilsan coating is used on numerous ERLAU wire mesh furniture items. The coated surfaces are water-repellent, whilst the open mesh structure allows rainwater to drain away. This means that the seats dry out more quickly after rainfall than solid surfaces. Depending on the product, Hot-dip galvanized and Powder-coated steel structures provide suitable surface protection for outdoor use. Selected products and colour finishes are also available with an additional anti-graffiti coating. The right fixings, bin size and layout of the fittings also help to organise cleaning and maintenance efficiently in day-to-day operations.
Materials for a range of outdoor applications
Whether it’s a break area terrace at an office building or a heavily used outdoor area at a production site: the choice of materials should be guided by the intended use, weather conditions and the desired design. ERLAU offers seating furniture with wire mesh surfaces as well as selected wood and other material finishes. Open wire mesh structures allow rainwater to drain away and make cleaning easier. Wooden slats lend seating areas a natural look. Hot-dip galvanized or additionally Powder-coated steel structures are used for various types of seating, Bicycle stands and Waste bins. In addition, ERLAU offers concrete furniture for outdoor areas with a clean, robust design. The most suitable option depends not only on the design but also on the level of wear and tear, the installation location and the expected maintenance requirements.
