That's an excellent question! We take the durability of our urban benches very seriously. To prevent rot and insect damage, we employ a multi-step protection process. First, the core wood is typically pressure-treated. This process forces preservatives deep into the wood's cellular structure, creating a barrier that is toxic to wood-destroying fungi and insects like termites. The specific chemicals used are industry-standard, EPA-approved preservatives. After treatment and construction, a high-quality sealant or outdoor-grade finish is applied. This top coat shields the wood from moisture—the primary cause of rot—by preventing water absorption. For maximum longevity, we often use naturally durable wood species like cedar or oak as an alternative or in combination with treatment. Regular maintenance inspections also help us identify and address any wear in the protective finish before the core wood is compromised. This comprehensive approach ensures our benches remain beautiful, safe, and functional for years in any city environment.
