Do you operate a camp, fire department housing, hostel, or any other commercial setting that calls for regular, intensive usage of bunk beds? You’re likely in need of bunk beds that can handle daily usage, while accommodating heavier individuals.
That’s where ESS bunk beds come in. Our bunk beds are crafted from steel and designed to thrive during intensive usage. Let’s take a look at how these bunk beds are superior to other options, along with some of the qualities that are unique to bunk beds from ESS Universal.
Steel Bunk Beds vs. Wooden Bunk Beds
Your two main options when it comes to commercial bunk beds will be wooden or steel frames. While both have their appeal, today, we’re going to take a look at the reasons why steel bunk beds reign supreme.
Pest Resistance
Termites, rodents, and bug beds cannot thrive off of steel, but they can live off of wood. The metal tubing and joints are welded together so that there are no hiding spots in the frame for rodents. On the other hand, many of these pests can thrive off of wooden materials, as they provide a nice meal…right where people are sleeping.
Increased Durability
Metal bunk beds are designed to go the distance. While wooden bunk beds might last a little while, humidity and time will wear them down. Steel bunk beds are designed to last for as long as possible. While there are some sturdy wooden bunk beds out there, steel bunk beds can typically hold more weight, too.
Metal Bunk Beds Are Easily Moved
Sometimes, bunk beds need to be moved, like when a certain room is seasonally converted to save space. In these situations, moving a steel bunk bed will be much easier than a wooden one, as wooden bunk beds are typically heavier.
Steel bunk beds are the clear winner in this contest. They’ll last longer, resist pests, and are easier to move.
Top Qualities of Steel Bunk Beds
What else do steel bunk beds have to offer? Let’s go over a few standout qualities that make them so appealing:
No Squeaks
Steel bunk beds are made with a metal mesh instead of springs, which means that all guests can move around as much as they want without keeping each other awake with squeaks.
Ease of Assembly
We think that bunk beds shouldn’t require an engineering degree to be assembled. Our bunk beds are designed to be easy to put together and some of our models are able to be up and running in as little as 20 minutes.
Multiple Designs
We’ve built many different bunk bed designs so that you can furnish your space in the most efficient way. We have single over single, single over double, and even triple bunk beds. See our full line up of beds & accessories.
