That's an excellent and very important question, especially for coastal communities! Yes, our park benches are specifically engineered to be highly resistant to rust, making them an ideal choice for areas near the ocean, bays, or any environment with salty, humid air.
We achieve this corrosion resistance through material science and advanced finishes. First, we offer benches constructed from galvanized steel. This process involves coating the steel in a protective layer of zinc, which acts as a sacrificial barrier, corroding before the steel itself ever does. For even greater protection, we use marine-grade aluminum. Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it inherently rust-proof and exceptionally lightweight, perfect for harsh coastal conditions.
Beyond the core material, we apply a robust powder coating. This is not ordinary paint; it's a dry powder electrostatically applied and then heat-cured to form a thick, uniform shield. This coating is highly resistant to chipping, fading, and, most importantly, salt spray corrosion. For critical hardware like bolts and brackets, we use stainless steel to prevent unsightly rust streaks.
While no material is 100% maintenance-free in such aggressive environments, our coastal-grade benches are built to last for decades with minimal care. Regular rinsing with fresh water to remove salt buildup is the primary recommendation to maintain their appearance and longevity. Investing in the right bench means you get durable, safe, and beautiful public seating that stands up to the sea breeze year after year.
