When cities face harsh winters, our urban benches are engineered to thrive. We use marine-grade aluminum frames with powder-coated finishes that resist corrosion from road salt and moisture. The slatted design allows snow and ice to melt through quickly, preventing water accumulation that leads to freeze-thaw damage.
For coastal or high-salt areas, we offer stainless steel hardware and pressure-treated timber that repels moisture. The bench legs feature elevated feet to avoid direct contact with salted pavement, while drainage channels redirect meltwater away from critical joints.
Our benches undergo accelerated weathering tests simulating 10 years of winter exposure. The result? Seating that maintains structural integrity and appearance with minimal maintenance—just occasional cleaning. Communities from Minnesota to Montreal report our benches lasting 2-3 times longer than conventional options in salted environments.
The secret lies in our material combinations: aluminum for salt resistance, thermally modified wood for moisture rejection, and composite options that mimic wood without rotting. We also design anchor systems that accommodate thermal contraction without compromising stability.
By prioritizing material science and climate-specific engineering, we deliver public seating that remains inviting and functional through the toughest winter conditions, year after year.
