URBAN BENCHES

Many people wonder if metal park benches become uncomfortably hot during summer months. It's a valid concern, but modern bench design has come a long way in addressing this very issue. Our metal benches incorporate several innovative features to minimize heat retention. First, we use specialized aluminum alloys with thermal properties that absorb less heat than traditional materials. Second, we apply light-colored powder coatings that reflect sunlight rather than absorbing it - similar to how wearing light-colored clothing keeps you cooler. The bench designs often feature slatted seating surfaces that allow air circulation, preventing heat buildup. Additionally, many models include perforated patterns that further reduce surface area exposed to direct sunlight. While no outdoor material remains completely cool in direct summer sun, our benches typically stay within a comfortable seating temperature range for much longer periods than conventional metal benches. For optimal comfort, we recommend installing benches in partially shaded areas or using them during morning and evening hours when the sun's intensity decreases. Regular maintenance also helps preserve the reflective properties of the coating. Our commitment to comfortable public seating means we continuously research new materials and technologies to enhance your park experience year-round.
