• Long-term geometric stability of the wood: The preliminary treatment of seasoning and steaming the raw material eliminates the wood’s internal moisture, preventing the pew from cracking, warping, or moving as the church’s hygrometric conditions change.
• 32 mm monobloc structural solidity: The finger-jointing of the boards combined with millimetric calibration and the use of hardwood dowels ensures exceptional mechanical strength, eliminating wobbling or loosening of the joints.
• Total absence of sagging and bending: The integration of under-seat reinforcement crossbars allows the 150 cm straight seat to withstand heavy loads and repeated dynamic uses without deforming or sagging.
• Space optimization without kneeler: The configuration without a kneeler makes it ideal for transit areas, weekday chapels, or community halls where you want to maximize freedom of movement for the feet and floor cleaning.
• Floor protection and noiselessness: The application of anti-slip pads at the base prevents the pew from sliding during use and protects precious floors (marble, terracotta, or parquet) from scratches and scuffs.
• Aesthetic and functional customization: The availability of different finishes and the rich range of optionals upon request (such as skai padding or shelves) allow the piece to be adapted to both the architectural style and the required comfort level.

This 150 cm wooden pew finds its perfect placement within parish churches, cathedrals, sanctuaries, cemetery chapels and private chapels of religious institutes or hospital facilities. It is an ideal liturgical furniture for the configuration of waiting areas, side aisles, choir areas or multifunctional halls where the use of the kneeler is not strictly required. Thanks to the selectable wood finishes and the 32 mm constructive robustness, it is suitable for insertion in historical or modern environments exposed to seasonal thermal variations, guaranteeing a standard footprint that respects the necessary passage space between rows.

The h1039_08 model is the right choice when it is necessary to invest in a permanent sacred or community piece of furniture of the highest value and industrial robustness, preferring a clean linear seat without the bulk of the kneeler. It represents the optimal solution for parishes that want to eliminate future maintenance costs, thanks to a construction system entirely in wood that uses hardwood dowels and special finger-joint glues. Choosing this pew means equipping yourself with a versatile piece (length 150 cm) that guarantees standard structural stability through reinforcement crossbars under the seat, while leaving total freedom to configure specialized accessories such as brass plaques or cordura padding at a later stage through a quotation.

What is meant by wood steaming and drying and why is it fundamental for church pews?

Steaming and drying are controlled thermal treatments to which the first-choice wood is subjected before processing. This process eliminates the internal tensions of the fibers and stabilizes the moisture level of the raw material. In sacred buildings, often subject to strong thermal and humidity changes between winter and summer, untreated wood would tend to move, crack or creak; the steaming treatment eliminates these operational problems.

What does the finger-jointing of the boards consist of and what advantages does it offer compared to traditional joints?

Finger-jointing consists of milling the ends of the wooden boards to create serrated profiles that fit perfectly into each other, significantly expanding the contact surface for gluing. This technique, combined with the use of high-resistance special glues and hardwood dowels, creates a permanent chemical-mechanical joint that prevents the parts from detaching even under strong torsional stress.

Even if the pew is purchased in the configuration without a kneeler, is it possible to request the optional padding for the kneeler?

The production data indicates that among the optional extras upon request and subject to quotation is fixed or liftable padding for kneelers in cordura or skai. However, since the base model h1039_08 is specifically structured as a pew with a seat without a kneeler, the application of this specific optional requires a comprehensive structural modification of the furniture, which can be evaluated during a personalized quotation along with other accessories such as bag hooks or the small bookrest shelf.
