Powder coated aluminium is a durable and low-maintenance choice for outdoor furniture, resisting rust and corrosion. The aluminum frame is coated with a high-quality polyester powder, enhancing longevity while providing a sleek finish. Proper care will ensure the furniture retains its structural integrity and visual appeal over time.
Characteristics
- Durability: Powder-coated aluminium is rust-resistant but can oxidise if the coating is scratched or damaged.
- Corrosion Resistance: While highly resistant, exposure to saltwater, high pH levels, and garden chemicals can degrade the finish if not properly maintained.
- Heat & UV Sensitivity: Darker finishes absorb more UV rays than lighter colours, making them warmer to the touch and more susceptible to fading over time.
Construction: Frames are welded with precision and reinforced at stress points for extra strength.
Care & Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down furniture frequently using a soft towel and mild soapy water to remove dirt and prevent buildup.
Salt & Moisture Management: In coastal areas, rinse furniture regularly with fresh water to remove salt deposits.
Stain Removal: Use a 1:1 solution of white distilled vinegar and water to remove water spots; rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use solvent-based, abrasive, or stainless steel cleaners, as they may damage the coating.
Recommendations
Prevent Water Damage: Do not allow standing water to sit on the surface for prolonged periods.
Avoid Scratches & Chips: Do not drag furniture across rough surfaces, as this may damage the protective coating.
Use Protective Accessories:
Place coasters under glasses and cold drink cans to prevent condensation stains.
Use felt pads under objects placed on tabletops to prevent surface scratches.
Cushion Care:
If cushions become wet, place them on their sides with the zipper facing down to allow water to drain.
Remove cushions before covering frames for long-term storage to prevent mould and mildew buildup.
Storage & Protection: Cover or store furniture during extreme weather to extend its lifespan and maintain its finish.
By following these simple care and maintenance steps, your powder-coated aluminium furniture will remain in excellent condition, providing long-lasting durability and style.
