Living near the ocean brings beautiful views and fresh breezes, but that salty sea air can be brutal on outdoor furniture. We often get asked: how do your metal urban benches hold up in coastal areas? The answer lies in our specialized approach to materials and protection.
We primarily use two types of metal for coastal applications: marine-grade aluminum and specially treated steel. Our aluminum benches contain alloys specifically formulated to resist saltwater corrosion, essentially making them naturally equipped for seaside environments. For our steel benches, we employ a multi-layer powder coating system that creates an impenetrable barrier between the metal and corrosive elements.
The magic is in our coating process. We use advanced powder coating technology that applies a thick, even layer of protection that's both chemical and UV resistant. This isn't your typical paint—it's a thermally bonded coating that won't chip, peel, or crack under normal conditions. For extra protection, we offer stainless steel fasteners and hardware to prevent rust spots at connection points.
Maintenance is surprisingly simple. We recommend rinsing your benches with fresh water every few weeks to remove salt buildup, and conducting a visual inspection twice yearly. This quick routine can extend your bench's lifespan by years in harsh coastal conditions.
Our coastal-grade benches have proven their durability in some of the most challenging environments—from the humid Florida coastlines to the rugged New England shores. We've seen them maintain their structural integrity and appearance through years of exposure to salt spray, high winds, and intense sun.
While no metal is completely impervious to salt air over decades, our engineered solutions ensure your investment will provide reliable service and maintain its aesthetic appeal for years to come. The initial investment in properly protected furniture pays dividends in reduced replacement costs and maintenance time.
Whether you're furnishing a coastal park, beachfront promenade, or seaside community space, our benches are built to withstand the unique challenges of marine environments while providing comfortable, durable seating for visitors to enjoy those beautiful ocean views.
