Aluminum
The lightness of aluminium yields furniture that can be moved effortlessly
A natural choice for the outdoors
Over the last decade or so, the growing desire for outdoor living has generated a new set of requirements, which read like a data sheet for aluminium! Aluminium is a durable material, resistant to all types of corrosion and completely impermeable due to the aluminium oxide layer that naturally forms on its surface. It is light, producing furniture that can be moved with minimal effort. Powder-coating employs the electrostatic effect to coat the aluminium with a powdered paint, which subsequently polymerises in an oven at 200°. This process not only produces a durable colour but reinforces shock-resistance
Lacquered aluminium doesn’t rust, making it suitable for seaside use. If you wish to store your furniture for the winter, use a protective cover.
Care and painting of aluminium
Clean twice a year: wash with water mixed with a little detergent or soap, using a soft sponge. More frequent cleaning is necessary by the seaside. Do not use brushes, strong detergents, or high-pressure cleaners.
To repaint your furniture, use an exterior-grade alkyd (oil-based) paint after applying a primer to a clean, dry surface. For small chips: use the supplied touch-up kit.
