Benefits of Aluminium Outdoor Settings

Aluminium can be considered an ideal material when evaluating its suitability for outdoor settings. Let’s look at the reasons behind the increasing popularity of aluminium outdoor settings:

• Light Weight and Sturdy: Aluminium furniture is lightweight and can be easily moved around. Yet it is solid and can withstand breezy and windy weathers. Thus, the wonderful combination of lightweight and sturdiness makes aluminium an ideal material for outdoor settings.
• Rust-Proof, Rot-Proof and Durable: Aluminium does not rust or rot over time due to exposure to differing weather conditions. It is not vulnerable to high precipitation and humidity, which also makes aluminium outdoor settings ideal for the coastal areas.
• Remains cooler than other materials in hot weather: Anodised aluminium does not become as hot as other materials used for outdoor furniture and maintains a more even temperature. It also cools the quickest in comparison to other materials. It’s light colour helps it to reflect rather than absorb heat. This alongside it’s excellent durability make it a popular choice for outdoor settings at outdoor swimming pools, outdoor venues and schools.
• Minimal Maintenance: Aluminium does not require regular application of oils or protective coatings to maintain its look and functionality. All you need to keep your aluminium outdoor settings bright and shiny would be a little soap and rinse with garden hose.
• UV Resistant: Aluminium is greatly resistant to UV rays making it an ideal material for the harsh Australian sun, as compared to other natural materials and synthetics used for manufacturing outdoor settings.
• Solid structure with tremendous strength to weight ratio: The solid structure of aluminium ensures that the shape of the furniture stays intact even over long periods of time, while the weight of aluminium is much less compared to materials like steel. This makes the aluminium outdoor settings mobile and easy for handling, storing and cleaning.
• Great Value: Despite its myriad of benefits, aluminium furniture is affordable and provides you with a great value for money. Aluminium settings stay strong, bright and new with the minimal amount of maintenance and affordable prices, which makes aluminium an absolute favourite for outdoor furniture.

Felton offers the highest quality, Australian made aluminium outdoor settings suitable for environments across Australia and used for a wide range of commercial purposes. All our aluminium outdoor furniture is highly durable made from quality grade aluminium and has a 15um (micron) clear coating anodised finish which creates a hard scratch resistant finish. Anodising refers to coating aluminium with a layer of aluminium oxide which is the second hardest material after diamond. Hence by anodising untreated aluminium it increases the hardness of the surface immensely. A baseball bat would leave a mark, however it wouldn’t bend or dent the bench. Trying to scratch into a bench with something sharp is very difficult due to the anodised finish. The finish is long-lasting with a normal life service of more than 50 years.
