We understand your concern about winter's harsh effects on outdoor furniture, and we want to assure you that our urban benches are specifically engineered to withstand even the most severe freeze-thaw cycles. Every bench in our collection undergoes rigorous laboratory testing that simulates years of seasonal transitions. During this process, materials are repeatedly frozen to sub-zero temperatures and then thawed in controlled conditions, mimicking nature's most destructive patterns.
Our proprietary concrete mix incorporates advanced air-entrainment technology that creates microscopic air pockets within the material. These tiny bubbles provide necessary expansion space when water penetrates and freezes, preventing the internal pressure buildup that causes conventional concrete to crack and spall. For our metal components, we use powder-coated steel with corrosion-resistant properties that maintain structural integrity despite constant exposure to moisture, salt, and temperature fluctuations.
The result is urban furniture that maintains both its aesthetic appeal and structural safety through countless seasonal changes. Municipalities and commercial properties across cold-climate regions have trusted our benches to remain crack-free, stable, and beautiful through decades of winter storms and spring thaws. Our commitment to durability means your investment will continue serving communities year after year, without the need for frequent replacements or extensive maintenance due to weather-related damage.
Beyond laboratory testing, we conduct real-world evaluations in some of North America's most challenging climates—from the freezing winters of Minnesota to the coastal salt air of New England. This comprehensive approach ensures our benches don't just survive theoretically but perform exceptionally in actual urban environments where reliability matters most.
