Exterior Amenities

Aluminum:

Simply use water and soft soap. Avoid the use of scourers

Teak:

Teak don’t need additional protection due to their high resistance. Nevertheless it may be useful to treat the wood so that it is less sensitive to staining. During outdoor use, the untreated wood will oxidise and develop a silver gray patina due to exposure to water and UV rays. Whether this natural process is desirable or not is merely a question of personal taste.

Aluminium is a non-ferrous metal, which combines great mechanical rigidity with light weight; this makes it especially suitable for making furniture. If treated correctly it has a good resistance to corrosion. One of the treatments is powder coating. After a chemical pre-treatment an epoxy powder is applied statically and baked. The advantages are easy cleaning and endless colour variations.

Teak is a tropical hardwood with great stability due to minimal moisture absorption. It is extremely resistant to the influences of chemicals, as well as against attacks by vermin.
