Our urban benches are engineered for durability and public use. The primary materials include powder-coated steel, thermally modified wood, recycled plastic lumber, and reinforced concrete. Each is selected for its ability to withstand demanding outdoor conditions.
The powder-coated steel frames provide exceptional strength and are treated with a corrosion-resistant finish that protects against rust. For seating slats, we often use thermally modified wood. This process permanently alters the wood's cellular structure, making it highly resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage without toxic chemicals. Alternatively, we use high-density recycled plastic lumber made from post-consumer waste. This material never needs painting, won't splinter or crack, and is impervious to moisture.
Yes, our benches are explicitly designed to be weather-resistant. The material combinations and construction techniques ensure long-term performance. The finishes are UV-stable to prevent fading from sun exposure. All fasteners are stainless steel to prevent rust stains and failure. Drainage is integrated into the design to prevent water pooling.
This focus on resilient materials means our benches maintain their structural integrity and appearance through seasonal extremes—from intense summer heat and heavy rain to freezing winter temperatures—minimizing maintenance and ensuring reliable public seating year-round.
