Certain settings demand furniture that can withstand extreme conditions. The RoccoShield Anti-Tear Chair is purpose-built for intensive use in psychiatric care, correctional facilities, and high-risk environments where furniture is often subjected to damage.

Constructed from a single solid block of flame-retardant foam and finished with an ultra-durable, seamless FlexGuard coating, this chair eliminates weak points, ensuring long-term resilience. No loose parts. No seams. No vulnerabilities. Just a robust, secure but comfortable chair that provides a safe and functional seating solution for patients or inmates.

The RoccoShield Forta Chair is available in two versions: with or without armrests. The armless model offers maximum freedom of movement and is lightweight in use.

Prefer added support and comfort?
Then the armrest version is the right choice.

This way, you can select the option that best matches the needs of your facility and patients.

Seamless design

With its seamless construction, there are no gaps or hidden spaces where contraband can be stored. The non-porous surface prevents liquids and dirt from being absorbed, ensuring easy and hygienic cleaning.

Comfort without compromise

Think anti-vandal chairs are stiff and uncomfortable? Think again.

Made entirely from foam, the RoccoShield Chair is not only durable but also ergonomically shaped to support the back, making it comfortable for extended sitting—whether for eating, reading, or relaxation.

Pairs perfectly with the table

For a sturdy, secure, and practical seating area, combine the chair with the RoccoShield Foam Table.

Designed for maximum stability, the table is built to perfectly accommodate the chair, ensuring a neat and organized space.

Extreme Durability

  • 01

The secret behind the RoccoShield Anti-Tear Chair is its reinforced FlexGuard coating, engineered for maximum resistance against wear, impact, and tampering. Stronger and more resilient than standard tear-resistant seating.

  • 01

How strong is it?

We get this question all the time, so we put it to the test. Watch our extreme durability video and see just how much this type of furniture can handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can sharp objects damage the Anti-Tear Chair?

    While the chair’s coating is highly resistant to tearing, it remains a foam-based construction at its core. Sharp objects such as scissors, knives, and screwdrivers can penetrate the material if forcefully applied. However, the FlexGuard coating maximizes resistance against rips and daily wear, making it one of the most durable options on the market.

  • Is this chair stronger than PVC or bisonyl tear-resistant chairs?

    Absolutely. Unlike PVC or bisonyl (truck tarp material), the RoccoShield Chair has no seams or welded joints—which are common weak points in other chairs. This eliminates vulnerabilities and reduces the risk of tampering.

  • Is the RoccoShield Chair comfortable?

    Despite its reinforced durability, the chair provides excellent ergonomic support. Its foam construction ensures long-lasting comfort, making it suitable for work, reading, or relaxation.

  • Can the Anti-Tear Chair be mounted to the floor or wall?

    Yes. The chair can be securely mounted in multiple ways:

    Wall-mounted with an invisible hinge for discreet yet firm attachment.

    Floor-mounted for maximum stability.

    Fixed using a specialized mounting kit, a preferred option for many facilities seeking the strongest possible installation.

    For custom installation options, contact the Tetcon team for expert guidance.

  • How easy is it to clean the chair?

    Designed with hygiene in mind, the chair’s seamless construction and strong coating allow for quick and easy cleaning using standard disinfectants. Ideal for high-hygiene environments where cleanliness is critical.

  • Are custom colors, shapes, or sizes available?

    Yes! We offer full customization to meet your facility’s specific needs. Choose from any RAL or Sikkens color, though additional costs may apply.

    Additionally, in partnership with furniture designer Philip Bogaerts, we can create custom shapes and sizes tailored to your unique requirements. Contact us to discuss your project—our Tetcon team is ready to assist you.
