That's an excellent question! We take the corrosion resistance of our steel park benches very seriously, as they are built to withstand years of harsh weather. Our primary defense is a two-fold process focusing on superior materials and advanced finishes.
First, we often start with high-quality, galvanized steel. Galvanization involves coating the steel in a protective layer of zinc, typically through a hot-dip process. This zinc layer acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning it will corrode before the steel itself does, providing a robust, long-term barrier against rust.
The second critical layer of protection is a durable powder coating. Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating is an electrostatically applied dry powder that is then cured under heat. This creates a much thicker, more uniform, and resilient finish that is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading from UV rays. We offer a wide range of color options in this finish to complement any park setting.
This combination of galvanization and powder coating ensures our benches remain beautiful and structurally sound for decades, with minimal maintenance required. It’s our commitment to providing durable, safe, and attractive seating for your community.
