Cast Aluminum Outdoor Furniture is a Stylish Option for Your Patio
Today’s aluminum furniture is not your grandma’s outdoor furniture! Back in the 1960s, aluminum furniture was made from hollow-core tubular frame pieces. While it was lightweight, it was not particularly stable. Modern cast aluminum outdoor furniture is both trendy and durable. It also requires very little maintenance.
Here are some of the reasons why homeowners are choosing cast aluminum furniture to create trendy outdoor living spaces:
Quickly Change the Look of Your Patio
Cast aluminum furniture is solid enough that it won’t break easily or blow away on windy days. However, while it will stay put after a strong gust, it is also lightweight enough for you to pick it up and move it around when you want to create a new look for your outdoor patio.
The Comfort of Choice
The process of making cast aluminum outdoor furniture involves pouring molten metal into individual molds. Quality aluminum pieces are then finished with a powder coating, which determines the final colour. During the powder-coating process, colourful polyester powders are applied and baked into the frame. As a result, designers have the flexibility to add intricate details to patio tables, chairs, bar stools and more. In addition, because powder coating is available in a wide variety of colours, you can purchase outdoor furniture to match any palette. For even more design options, you can add cushions in numerous fabrics and patterns.
Easy Maintenance
One of the biggest benefits of cast aluminum furniture is how simple it is to keep it in good shape. Whether it’s wiping down spills right away or rinsing it off with a garden hose once a week, you can clean it with little effort. If necessary, it is even safe for you to scrub the furniture with soap and a light sponge. Plus, because of the powder coating, cast aluminum outdoor furniture won’t rust, even if you live in a climate where it’s exposed to high humidity. With proper attention, it can last 10-20 years!
If you already own wrought iron furniture, its heavyweight construction makes it ideal for permanent placement in some spaces. You will need to repaint it as it becomes worn and rusty. Fortunately, with the affordability and other benefits of cast aluminum outdoor furniture, it’s possible to furnish your outdoor living space regardless of your budget.
