Great question! When it comes to the metal parts on our park benches, we offer a variety of finishes designed to withstand the elements while enhancing the look of your public space. The primary goal is durability and long-term protection against rust, corrosion, and daily wear.
Our most popular finish is a high-quality Powder Coating. This process involves applying a dry powder electrostatically and then curing it under heat to form a hard, protective layer. It's exceptionally resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. We offer a wide spectrum of standard and custom colors, allowing you to match your community's aesthetic. For a classic look, we provide Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel. This involves dipping the steel frame into molten zinc, creating a robust barrier against rust. It offers a characteristic spangled, silvery-gray finish that is incredibly durable with minimal maintenance, often used in coastal or high-moisture areas.
For aluminum components, we utilize Anodized Finishes. This electrochemical process thickens aluminum's natural oxide layer, making it harder and more corrosion-resistant than raw aluminum. It can be left clear for a metallic sheen or dyed in various colors. Additionally, some of our heritage-style benches feature Textured or Hammered Finishes, which add visual interest and help to mask minor scratches over time.
Each finish is chosen to ensure your park benches remain beautiful, safe, and functional for years, with minimal upkeep required. The best choice depends on your specific environment, desired maintenance level, and design vision.
