Canteen Seating

Canteen Seating

Creating a comfortable, practical, and hygienic dining space in the workplace is about more than just somewhere to sit – it’s about supporting staff wellbeing and building a positive workplace culture. At HSE Store, we supply a full range of QMP Canteen Seating solutions, designed and manufactured in the UK to meet the needs of busy work environments. With options ranging from cost-effective standard canteen units to premium Spectrum seating, we offer durable, easy-to-maintain solutions for rest areas, staff rooms, and workplace dining spaces.

Why Invest in Workplace Canteen Seating?

Canteen spaces are an essential part of any productive working environment. Employees need comfortable and accessible rest areas where they can eat, relax, and recharge. Providing the right canteen furniture shows staff that their wellbeing is valued, while also helping to foster a positive company culture. Offering high-quality canteen seating not only improves staff morale but also helps reduce fatigue and boosts productivity across the working day.

Standard Canteen Seating: Affordable and Functional

QMP’s Standard Canteen Furniture range is an economical choice for businesses looking to create functional dining areas without compromising on quality or durability. These modular seating units combine tables with one-piece moulded polypropylene seats in blue, red, or black. The robust construction ensures years of reliable use, while the fully welded frames and Germ Guard Active Technology paint finish provide hygiene protection across busy shared spaces.

The clear floor access makes cleaning fast and simple, ensuring your canteen remains tidy and safe at all times. Available as 2, 4, or 6-seater units in both single- and double-entry designs, these seating systems keep layouts structured and eliminate the hassle of constantly moving chairs around.

Spectrum Canteen Seating: Premium Choice for Modern Workplaces

For businesses looking for a more stylish and durable solution, QMP’s Spectrum Canteen Furniture offers a higher-end alternative. Manufactured from 1.2mm mild steel, these canteen units are built for maximum strength and long-term use. The seats and powder-coated frames are available in a wide choice of bold colours including green, red, blue, and grey – with bespoke RAL colour options available on request for companies who want furniture in line with their branding or colour scheme.

With a robust fully welded design, and MFC table tops edged with PVC for added strength, Spectrum seating is ideal for workplaces that require both functionality and visual appeal. This makes it especially popular for modern office environments, colleges, and staff canteens where aesthetics matter just as much as practicality.

Designed for Hygiene and Easy Maintenance

Both the Standard and Spectrum ranges are designed with hygiene and maintenance in mind. With integrated seats rather than loose chairs, these systems prevent seating from being moved around and keep dining areas neatly organised. The raised frames allow for easy cleaning underneath the units, helping facilities staff keep floors hygienic with minimal effort.

The polypropylene or steel seat options are hard-wearing, wipe-clean surfaces – ideal for high-traffic workplace kitchens or canteens where food and drink spills are common. This makes these seating solutions especially suitable for food manufacturing, logistics hubs, schools, and factories.

Versatile Configurations for Every Business

Every business has a different canteen footprint, and QMP’s modular seating designs make it easy to create a layout that suits your available space. Whether you need compact 2-seater units for smaller break rooms or large 6-seater options for factory dining halls, you can configure a solution that maximises your square footage. Optional floor fixings are also available for added stability in busy environments.

Supporting Staff Wellbeing and Culture

Providing well-designed canteen areas is about more than just furniture – it shows investment in your workforce and encourages healthy workplace practices. A dedicated space where staff can eat away from their workstations encourages regular breaks, reduces stress, and supports better nutrition habits. Clean, modern, and comfortable canteen areas can also improve recruitment and retention by creating a workplace environment employees are proud of.
