Outdoor Patio Furniture

There are three main constructs of outdoor furniture to choose from: synthetic resins (like Kettler or Versailles), metal (like the Kettler Wrought Iron Furniture) and wood (like Old Adirondack Furniture).

Synthetic resin furniture is quite popular these days because the price is reasonable and it's easily maintained. In addition to these factors, they provide a durable, comfortable and convenient solution for your outdoor patio furniture needs. However, synthetic resin chairs are not as sturday as their metal counterparts. Because of this, it is strongly recommended to place this style of furniture on completely solid surfaces. (They are great to place around the pool.) Maintenance is a breeze as those that don't fold will stack well. In order to keep your resin furniture looking new, we suggest applying a resin furniture wax at the beginning and about mid-season. Tip: Avoid using commercial cleaners and scouring powders. Use only resin cleaners.

Metal furniture provides superior durability and comfort and comes in tubular or cast models. Tubular furniture is made of metal, aluminum or treated metal (galvanized or galvalum steel) tubes and is the more popular of the two. Aluminum and treated metal tend to resist corrosion quite effectively. Treated metal tubes are quite solid and heavier than aluminum. Tubular metal chairs are typically stackable and easy to store. Cast metal furniture is incredibly beautiful and offers optimum comfort. Considered to be top of the line; the price is definitly higher. This furniture is rather heavy and more fragile than tubular models. As they are not foldable this patio furniture requires more storage space.

Wood patio furniture is generally made of cedar, mahogany, teak or other exotic breeds. It offers a unique rustic charm to your outdoor décor. Wood furniture does more maintenance and space, but the sheer beauty makes up for it. For protection regularly apply Teck oil, stain or varnish.Molding compounds and resins are industrial plastics and polymers that are suitable for forming. They are used in processes such as injection molding, compression molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), resin transfer molding (RTM), and blow molding. Thermally conductive products are applied between a heat-generating electrical device and a heat sink. Dampening products form layers that can bend or flex without cracking or delaminating.
