Living in a coastal city offers beautiful vistas and a refreshing breeze, but the salty, humid air can be brutal on outdoor furniture. Homeowners often wonder if their investment will succumb to rapid rust, corrosion, and fading. The good news is that with the right materials and construction, outdoor furniture can not only survive but thrive in these environments. Our collections are specifically engineered for durability against the elements.
The cornerstone of coastal durability is material selection. We use marine-grade aluminum, an alloy designed for maritime use. Unlike common iron or standard aluminum, this material possesses exceptional inherent resistance to saltwater corrosion. For table tops and accents, we utilize sustainably sourced premium teak wood. Teak is naturally high in protective oils, making it resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage without the need for chemical treatments. It weathers to a beautiful silvery-gray patina over time.
Beyond the core materials, protective finishes are critical. Our aluminum frames are treated with a high-performance powder coating. This process electrostatically applies a dry powder to the metal and then cures it under heat, creating a thick, durable shield far superior to traditional wet paint. This coating acts as a robust barrier, preventing salty moisture from reaching the metal underneath, thus preventing oxidation and rust. For added protection, many of our designs feature stainless steel fasteners and hardware, which are highly resistant to corrosion.
Regular maintenance, though minimal, will significantly extend the life and beauty of your furniture in a coastal setting. We recommend a simple routine: rinse your furniture periodically with fresh water to remove salt and sand buildup. For powder-coated aluminum, a gentle clean with a mild soap and water solution is sufficient. For teak, if you wish to maintain its original golden-brown hue, an application of teak sealer once or twice a year is advised.
Investing in furniture built with these principles means investing in peace of mind. You can enjoy the coastal lifestyle without constantly worrying about the damaging effects of salty air. Our pieces are designed to provide long-lasting comfort and style, season after season, making your outdoor space a true oasis by the sea.
