About TSI Theatre Solutions, Inc. (TSI) designs and produces distinctive and durable fixed seating. We are committed to providing the highest quality fixed seating and associated services in the world. Quality, aesthetics, comfort and flexibility make TSI fixed seating the preferred choice for any building type.
Acclaim Options The Acclaim chair is available with many options. Choose the options that are appropriate for the project. End Panels Available as either upholstered or veneer, end panels can enhance the visual appeal of the room. They can be upholstered to match the chairs, or stained to match the armrests. Aisle Lights Low-voltage (24v) aisle lights discreetly illuminate dark aisles and steps, enhancing safety and visual appeal.
Acclaim Product Advantages Gravity Tip-Up Seat The Acclaim seat tip-up action is attained by the use of a gravity counterweight mechanism. The advantages of a gravity mechanism over a spring or cylinder mechanism are as follows: Consistent and automatic return to the upright position. Spring mechanisms can have inconsistent tipup action due to the variation of the strength or fatigue of the steel springs.

(TSI) warrants its’ products against failures and manufacturing defects for the life of the product. This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. TSI will provide parts and labor to replace defective parts for the first two years after installation.
