Fixed Tier Structures

SIS Global Seating can custom design, manufacture and install fixed tiered floors to suit any room size. Our experience over the years has allowed us to be involved in the design, development, manufacture and installation of a large number of installations around the country which includes a number of small to medium-sized product but also many very large, substantial and often complex tiering and platform projects.

Modular construction allows for ease of installation on site. This feature, when complemented with our in-house carpeting and seating installation, allows a room to be converted into a tiered lecture theatre, within a matter of a few days.

Converting a space into a tiered lecture theatre, auditorium or theatre improves the overall room appearance, increases capacity and improves sightlines and overall learning experience for all concerned. Fixed tiered structures can be manufactured to any riser and tread dimensions and can be constructed in a straight or curved configuration.
