Great question! When it comes to the metal parts on our urban benches, we offer a range of finishes designed to blend durability with aesthetic appeal, ensuring they stand up to the rigors of public spaces while enhancing the cityscape.
First and foremost, Powder Coating is a popular choice. This dry finishing process applies a durable polymer resin that is then cured under heat. It provides a thick, uniform layer that is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. We offer a vast palette of colors, from classic blacks and grays to vibrant custom hues, allowing for seamless integration into any urban design scheme.
For ultimate corrosion resistance, especially in coastal or high-moisture areas, we utilize Hot-Dip Galvanizing. This process involves dipping steel components into molten zinc, creating a metallurgical bond that acts as a sacrificial barrier against rust. It offers a characteristic spangled, silver-gray appearance that is both industrial and modern.
For aluminum components, Anodizing is a superb electrochemical process that thickens the metal's natural oxide layer. This results in an extremely hard, integral finish that is resistant to wear and corrosion. Anodized finishes are typically available in clear, bronze, or black tones, providing a sleek, contemporary look with minimal maintenance.
Lastly, we employ Stainless Steel in its brushed or polished forms. Known for its inherent strength and corrosion resistance, stainless steel offers a bright, clean, and timeless aesthetic. It is exceptionally easy to clean and maintain, making it ideal for high-traffic urban environments where hygiene and longevity are paramount.
Each finish is selected to ensure our benches are not only functional and long-lasting but also contribute positively to the visual texture of your urban landscape.
