When it comes to furnishing coastal areas, ordinary park benches simply won't survive the relentless assault of salty air. Our specially engineered coastal benches are built to thrive in these challenging environments through strategic material selection and advanced protective technologies.
The secret lies in using marine-grade materials that inherently resist salt corrosion. We utilize powder-coated aluminum frames that create an impenetrable barrier against salt penetration, while stainless steel components contain chromium that forms a self-healing protective layer. For wooden elements, we exclusively source tropical hardwoods like teak or ipe, which contain natural oils that repel moisture and salt damage.
Beyond material choice, we implement multiple protective layers. Our aluminum frames undergo a multi-stage pretreatment process before receiving a thick powder coating that bonds molecularly to the metal. This creates a shield far more durable than traditional paint. For added protection, we incorporate sacrificial anodes on steel components, which attract corrosion instead of the main structure.
Regular maintenance remains crucial for maximum longevity. We recommend quarterly inspections to check for coating damage, along with annual fresh water rinsing to remove salt accumulation. For wooden benches, applying specialized marine oil every six months maintains their natural defenses.
Our coastal benches undergo rigorous testing in simulated marine environments, enduring salt spray chambers that accelerate years of exposure into months. This ensures they'll provide reliable service for decades, even in the most aggressive coastal conditions. The result is beautiful, comfortable seating that stands strong against ocean elements while minimizing long-term maintenance costs.
