Living near the coast brings beautiful views and fresh ocean breezes, but it also presents unique challenges for outdoor furniture. We completely understand your concern about salt spray resistance - it's one of the most critical factors for coastal area installations.
Our urban benches are specifically engineered to thrive in marine environments. We use advanced powder coating technology that creates an impermeable barrier against salt corrosion. The coating process involves multiple layers of protection, including a primer that actively prevents rust formation and a topcoat that resists UV degradation and salt penetration.
For maximum durability, we offer benches constructed from marine-grade stainless steel (316 grade), which contains molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance. Alternatively, our powder-coated aluminum options provide excellent salt spray resistance while being lightweight and maintenance-free. All metal components undergo accelerated salt spray testing, simulating years of coastal exposure to ensure long-term performance.
The design considerations extend beyond just materials. We incorporate drainage channels to prevent water accumulation, use sealed fasteners to protect connection points, and recommend slatted designs that allow salt particles to wash away naturally rather than accumulating on flat surfaces.
Many of our benches are already serving successfully in coastal communities worldwide, from oceanfront parks to seaside promenades. They maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal despite constant exposure to salt-laden air, high humidity, and direct ocean winds.
We'd be happy to provide specific recommendations for your coastal area based on your exact location, proximity to the water, and expected weather conditions. Protecting your investment against salt spray damage is our priority.
