A: Our bleachers are built to meet the current IBC (International Building Code). There is better than a 99.9% chance that your state and local building codes follow the IBC. Click here to read the code as it pertains to you.
A: Yes, commercial addresses are significantly less expensive since most commercial addresses have access for Semi-truck LTL loads or turn-around areas.
A: Anodizing is a clear coating that is applied immediately after our aluminum planks are extruded that prohibits the aluminum from oxidizing. Mill finish aluminum is constantly oxidizing and produces a black film that will adhere to your skin and clothing. All of the areas of your bench or bleacher that you can touch with your hand will be anodized to provide for a clean surface and prevent staining of your clothing and hands.
A: The current code you are under requires an aisle unless certain exceptions are taken including the height of the rear seatboard. This means any bleacher over 4 rows high must have an aisle. Click here to read the code as it pertains to you.
A: The only bleachers we offer without guardrails or aisles are our Low-Rise bleachers (PN: LDLW). The current code you are under requires an aisle and guardrail unless the height of the rear seat is less than 30”. All bleachers above four rows must have a guardrail. Click here to read the code as it pertains to you.
A: All we do is aluminum bleachers and benches. Over the last couple of years the building codes you are under require vertical aisles and double footboards. Our competitors sell a vast array of products that are not related to bleachers and evidently are not up to speed on what the current code requirements are. Click here to read the code as it pertains to you.
A: We think our name, aluminumbleachersdirect.com, tells it all. You are buying direct from the manufacturer and no middle-man commissions are included in your pricing. Bleachers and benches are all we do!!
A: Yes, we offer powder coating for the riser portion of the bleacher at an additional cost. We strongly do not recommend powder coating seatboards. Powder coating aluminum may not be your best option.
A: Our frames are seam welded by AISC Certified welders. Seam welding is a weld that goes all the way round any joint or attachment. All mating parts will be welded on all sides. Most manufacturers weld on one side only to cut down on labor costs, which will reduce the quality of product you are purchasing.
