Thank you for your important question regarding safety. We completely understand your concern about splinters, especially in public spaces where comfort and safety are paramount. We want to assure you that the finish on our wooden urban benches is a top priority in our manufacturing process.
Each bench undergoes a meticulous multi-step finishing routine. After careful assembly using premium, kiln-dried hardwood, every surface and edge is meticulously hand-sanded. We don't stop at a rough sand; we progress through multiple grits to achieve an exceptionally smooth tactile feel that is gentle to the touch. This process effectively eliminates any rough grain or raised wood fibers that could potentially cause splinters.
Following the sanding, we apply a high-quality, penetrating outdoor sealant or oil. This coating not only protects the wood from moisture and UV damage but also further seals the wood fibers, creating a unified, smooth surface. This finish is designed to be durable, resisting wear from weather and public use to maintain its integrity over time.
Our commitment is to provide not just aesthetically pleasing street furniture, but durable, safe, and welcoming community assets. You and your community should be able to enjoy our benches with complete peace of mind, without any worry about snagged clothing or safety hazards. We stand by the quality and safety of our finish.
