Homeowners in the San Diego area know that we live in one of the most beautiful areas in the country. We enjoy abundant sunshine, a temperate climate and incredible views of the ocean. But that also means that our backyard oasis is subject to battering from winds, rain, sun and sea spray. And that’s why many of us opt for stainless steel outdoor furniture. Here are further reasons why you should consider choosing stainless steel frames when you next buy furnishings for your luxury outdoor living room.
About Stainless Steel
Stainless steel, as a medium for furniture, is a heavy metal. The only metal used in outdoor furnishings heavier than stainless steel is wrought iron. This metal alloy of steel, chromium, nickel, silicon, aluminum, molybdenum and carbon also has chromium added in order to resist rust.
Stainless Steel Outdoor Furniture is Durable and Strong
One of the reasons stainless steel outdoor furniture is more durable than most other materials is that it is both heavy and strong. Of course, all types of metal will be more durable than media such as wicker, resin or wood. In the midst of a storm rolling in from the Pacific, stainless steel furnishings won’t blow away. Stainless steel furniture will not dent easily. As a bonus, these pieces can stay out on your patio year-round because weather will not adversely affect them. When you buy stainless steel outdoor furniture, you are making an investment for the long run. The only thing you will need to replace are the cushions – it will literally almost never wear out.
How to Care for Stainless Steel
Perhaps one of the best features of stainless steel outdoor furniture is that it is very easy to care for. Â You can easily wipe it off with a damp rag to whisk away dust and dirt. For a buildup of dirt, add a drop or two of dish detergent to water and spray down the frame of your outdoor furniture and let it sit for a few minutes. After rinsing, apply a thin coat of liquid auto wax in order to keep the finish protected. If a piece of your powder-coated stainless steel outdoor furniture does get chipped, be sure to use a touch-up product so that it is not exposed to the weather. Remember that the powder coating finish helps prevent rusting.
Stainless Steel Looks Good
When it comes to the style of your stainless steel outdoor furniture, this material lends itself nicely to contemporary designs. The stainless steel itself is sleek and fairly easy to mold into sensuous shapes. When it is powder coated, stainless steel outdoor furniture frames can take on a completely different look via lots of color and texture choices.
For strong, durable, good-looking pieces, it is hard to beat stainless steel outdoor furniture.
