Thank you for your question about graffiti resistance! It's a crucial concern for any city looking to maintain beautiful and welcoming public spaces. Our urban benches are specifically designed to combat this form of vandalism.
We utilize a multi-layered approach. First, the bench materials themselves are chosen for their inherent resistance. We often use powder-coated metals, treated hardwoods, or specially formulated polymers. These surfaces are non-porous, making it difficult for spray paint or markers to properly adhere and penetrate.
The most critical feature is a permanent, industrial-grade anti-graffiti coating applied to the finished product. This creates an invisible, protective barrier. When graffiti is applied, it sits on top of this coating rather than bonding with the bench material underneath.
This brings us to your second question: Is it easy to remove? The answer is yes, by design. Because the graffiti cannot soak in, our maintenance teams can remove it quickly and completely. For most incidents, a specific, eco-friendly graffiti remover solvent is applied. It breaks down the paint without damaging the protective coating. Often, a simple pressure wash is all that's needed to restore the bench to its original state, without any lingering stains or ghosting.
This system drastically reduces long-term maintenance costs and downtime. A bench doesn't need to be removed, sanded, or repainted. It's cleaned on-site and immediately returned to public use. Our goal is to make vandalism a temporary, frustratingly ineffective act for the vandal, and a minor, manageable issue for the community. We believe public furniture should be durable, beautiful, and practical for everyone to enjoy.
