Why specify USM for airport counters
Airports need counter systems that handle daily wear, keep a clean architectural look, and stay flexible as tenants and passenger flows evolve.
USM’s modular format supports staged upgrades and future reconfiguration without starting from scratch.
Modular reconfiguration
- Adapt counter runs as passenger flows and tenant needs change
- Extend counters, add returns, create islands and back counters
- Standardise layouts across terminals, zones or concessions
Frequently asked questions
Can USM counters be reconfigured after installation?
Yes. USM’s modular system allows counter layouts to be adapted over time, which suits airports where spaces and tenants change.
Are USM counters suitable for high-traffic public areas?
Yes. The system is designed for commercial use and suits airports and transport hubs where durability matters.
Can counters support POS and service equipment?
Yes. Layouts can be planned to accommodate power, data and equipment requirements for service and retail operations.
What information helps you quote and plan fastest?
Send a plan, target counter lengths, equipment list, and your programme dates. If you include site constraints and access notes, it improves layout planning.
