Absolutely. This is a critical question, especially for coastal municipalities and developers. Our urban benches are specifically engineered to withstand the aggressive, corrosive conditions found in coastal areas, where salt spray, high humidity, and moisture are constant challenges. We achieve this through a multi-faceted approach to material science and finishing.
The core of our resistance lies in the materials we select. We primarily use heavy-duty aluminum alloys, which inherently form a protective oxide layer that prevents rust. For structural components requiring steel, we utilize hot-dipped galvanized steel or, for superior protection, marine-grade stainless steel (such as 316 grade), which contains molybdenum for enhanced resistance to chlorides.
Beyond the base metal, we apply advanced protective coatings. A high-quality powder coating is standard, providing a thick, uniform, and resilient barrier that is fused to the metal. For extreme environments, we offer additional specialized coatings like fluoropolymer (PVDF) finishes, which offer exceptional color retention and resistance to salt, UV rays, and abrasion.
Furthermore, our design philosophy incorporates durability. We minimize moisture traps, use sealed fasteners, and ensure all drainage is effective. The result is urban seating that maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for years with minimal maintenance, saving on long-term replacement costs. So, whether placed on a bustling boardwalk or a serene seaside park, our benches are built to endure, providing reliable and attractive public seating against the elements.
