Nave Wooden Church Pew Bench – Traditional Wooden Seating for Churches

The Nave Wooden Church Pew Bench is a traditional all-wooden seating solution designed to meet DAC requirements for pew replacement while preserving the character and heritage of historic church interiors. Available in multiple lengths, it allows churches to maintain a consistent timber aesthetic throughout the nave, aisles, and ancillary spaces. For flexible layouts, it pairs seamlessly with the Nave Stacking Wooden Chapel & Church Chair (click to view).

The Nave Wooden Church Pew Bench offers a timeless and dignified seating solution for churches seeking to retain a traditional wooden aesthetic while enhancing comfort and flexibility. Designed to echo the proportions and visual warmth of historic pews, it is particularly well suited to heritage, listed, and architecturally sensitive church interiors.
Crafted from solid timber and finished to a high standard, the Nave Pew Bench is frequently specified where churches wish to maintain the established character of the nave while introducing new or replacement seating. Its traditional all-wooden construction can also support DAC applications where fixed pews are being replaced but a heritage-appropriate appearance must be preserved.
For areas requiring re-orderable or occasional seating, the pew bench pairs seamlessly with our Nave Stacking Wooden Chapel & Church Chair (click to view), allowing churches to maintain a consistent wooden aesthetic across nave, aisles, chapels, and ancillary spaces.
