Commercial Stainless Steel Garden Furniture
Owners of commercial establishments who want to provide their customers a comfortable and elegant outdoor sitting area have to be more careful in selection of garden furniture than home owners. Their pieces of furniture will not be only exposed to unpredictable weather conditions but will also need to withstand heavy use. Frequent replacements of garden furniture are very expensive and for that reason it is crucial to make a good choice at the beginning because a carefully chosen commercial garden furniture will last for decades without revealing its age.
Wooden garden furniture is preferred by most home owners as it creates a unique sense of warmth and gives every garden and patio a touch of elegance. However, most types of wood need lots of maintenance in order to prevent premature decay, while those that are naturally resistant to outdoor conditions such as teak cost a fortune if a larger number of chairs and tables, for instance, are needed. In addition, untreated wood poses a risk of staining due to spilling accidents which are often unavoidable in commercial establishments and can easily ruin the wood’s elegance.
Metal is a popular alternative to wood as it is extremely durable and very difficult to move which reduces the risk of theft. However, most metals need to be protected against rust with anti-corrosion coating to extend their durability. But there is one type of metal that is highly elegant, corrosion-resistant and stain-resistant – stainless steel. Its outstanding properties including resistance to outdoor elements and wear and tear make it ideal for commercial uses because stainless steel garden furniture virtually lasts for lifetime and never needs to be stained nor protected against the weather elements. It will not lose its highly attractive lustre and is very easily cleaned by damp cloth only even if spilled by red wine, for instance.
Since stainless steel is a cold place to sit on, many business owners provide their customer cushions to increase the level of comfort but very popular option is also commercial garden furniture that combines stainless steel and wood. Very often are seen rattan chairs with stainless steel legs and armrests, and stainless steel tables but very elegant and practical are also combinations with other types of wood as the wood gives the furniture the necessary comfort and a touch of nature, while stainless steel legs, for instance, eliminate the risk of damage to furniture where it is vulnerable the most – the ground.
