When winter's chill sets in and municipalities deploy de-icing salts, our park benches stand resilient against these challenging conditions. Engineered with premium materials and advanced protective systems, our benches are specifically designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles and salt corrosion.
The secret lies in our specialized powder-coated finishes that create an impermeable barrier against moisture and salt penetration. Unlike traditional paints that can chip and peel, our coating system flexes with temperature changes, preventing cracks where salt and water could infiltrate. For our metal components, we utilize galvanized steel with additional protective layers that resist salt-induced corrosion even in coastal environments.
For our wooden benches, we employ thermally modified timber or dense hardwoods that naturally resist moisture absorption. The cellular structure of these woods undergoes transformation during manufacturing, making them less susceptible to freezing damage and salt degradation. Our concrete benches incorporate air-entrainment technology, creating microscopic bubbles that allow for expansion during freezing, preventing surface spalling.
The hardware and fasteners receive equal attention, featuring stainless steel or heavily galvanized components that won't succumb to salt corrosion. Our design philosophy eliminates moisture traps and includes proper drainage channels to prevent water and salt accumulation.
Regular maintenance is straightforward – a simple rinse with fresh water during thaw periods helps remove salt residues. This minimal upkeep, combined with our robust construction, ensures our benches maintain their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity through countless winter seasons, providing reliable seating year after year regardless of weather extremes.
