Outdoor Wicker Garden Furniture Materials Challenge All Weather Conditions.
The use of the wicker cloud exterior is made from a variety of crafting materials. Leading in the outdoor furniture industry, PORA Furniture always ensures to provide the interior and exterior market with quality products with many new, unique, modern and timeless designs. PORA's outdoor furniture products always maintain technical durability in all environmental factors and are easy to manage with the following 3 main materials:
The metal/aluminum used in outdoor wicker garden furniture:
The frames of outdoor wicker furniture can be made from various types of metals/alu, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Taking these factors into consideration, PORA has chosen powder-coated aluminum to create sturdy frames. Not only does this metal/alu make the products lighter, but it is also resistant to fading, rusting, and requires less maintenance.
We can use soap and water to clean these frames. Additionally, owners can apply a layer of car wax on the surface to keep the aluminum frames looking new. It is worth noting that aluminum is a corrosion-resistant material, making it capable of withstanding the test of time, even when used outdoors.
The wood used in outdoor furniture:
The common types of wood used to make outdoor wicker furniture include teak wood, acacia wood, pine wood and redwood, with teak wood being the most popular. Hardwoods such as teak, Jarrah, and Shorea are more durable and can have a lifespan of up to 50 years. Additionally, we can enhance the natural lifespan of wood by using various special oils and sealants.
While not as durable as hardwoods, softwoods such as treated cedar and pine can still withstand outdoor conditions for many years. However, untreated pine wood is susceptible to termite infestation. To ensure its longevity, it is recommended to paint or seal the products and store them indoors during the winter months. Another benefit of using wood in outdoor wicker furniture is that it does not absorb heat from sunlight like plastic or metal.
Synthetic rattan fiber:
Synthetic rattan, which is made from polyethylene fibers, is used to create outdoor wicker furniture. Its purpose is to enhance weather resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Through a complex manufacturing process, synthetic rattan is engineered to withstand various outdoor weather conditions.
Despite its natural-looking appearance, synthetic rattan maintains better quality than even the finest natural rattan. UV rays do not affect the quality of synthetic rattan, as it can withstand direct sunlight for up to 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. Additionally, synthetic rattan products are moisture-resistant, preventing issues such as termite infestation and mold growth. They are also sturdy and do not expand or deform over time.
As consumers, we always care about the quality of the materials that make up each outdoor wicker furniture product. So how can we own a premium wicker furniture piece that can withstand the challenges of mother nature? The product lines from PORA Furniture are sure to satisfy you.
