That's an excellent question, and one we take very seriously. The short answer is: yes, our metal urban benches are engineered to be highly rust-resistant, but the complete truth lies in the specific protective finishes we use. We don't rely on paint alone. Our primary defense is a high-quality powder coating. This process involves electrostatically applying a dry powder to the metal and then curing it under heat, creating a thick, uniform, and incredibly durable shield that is far superior to traditional wet paint. It resists chipping, fading, and, most importantly, moisture penetration that leads to rust.
For maximum protection in coastal or high-humidity areas, we often start with a galvanized steel frame. Galvanization involves coating the steel in a layer of zinc, which sacrificially protects the base metal from corrosion. When combined with a powder coat top layer, you get a double layer of defense. This means our benches can withstand rain, snow, sun, and urban pollution for years with minimal maintenance—just an occasional wipe-down. So, while no outdoor material is utterly indestructible, our finishes are specifically chosen to ensure your benches remain beautiful, safe, and rust-free for the long haul.
