• Cast Aluminum Patio Furniture

  One of the main benefits to cast aluminum is that the metal is often cost effective in comparison to other cast metals. Along with the lower cost, the metal also retains a high degree of durability. The combination of lower cost and reliable durability makes cast aluminum an excellent choice for a number of products in most applications. Cast aluminum furniture is made by pouring liquid aluminum into furniture molds and then allowing it to cool into the desired shape, this process is called casting. The molds are carved by hand, so elaborate detailing can be achieved. Each section of the furniture is molded separately, then ground down and polished. To complete the product, the pieces are either welded or bolted together. Cast aluminum can be coated with a smooth or textured finish, in single colors or a mixture of several, and coated with a durable commercial powder coating. Cast aluminum furniture is solid, so it weighs more than tubular aluminum and is perfect for windy conditions. Cast Aluminum Furniture is an excellent choice for outdoor furniture and has been for centuries. It has outstanding corrosion resistance due to a thin surface layer of aluminum oxide that forms when the metal is exposed to air, effectively preventing further oxidation. Cast aluminum is one of most chosen materials for outdoor furniture; because of its sturdiness and durability. There are many choices available from traditional patio sets, bar height patio sets, chaise lounges, sofa groups and swivel chairs for maximum comfort and maximum enjoyment in any outdoor setting.

• Aluminum Patio Furniture

  Aluminum is the third most bountiful element in the earth’s crust and it's most plentiful metal is made from bauxite, a reddish-brown rock discovered in France, in 1821. In 1855 pure aluminum was valued at $115 per pound, more expensive than gold. Napoleon III proudly displayed aluminum cutlery at his state banquets, commissioned aluminum equipment for his military and even had an aluminum and gold baby rattle made for his son. But it wasn’t until 1886 that chemists finally discovered an economical way to separate pure aluminum from its ore.
  Young scientists, Charles Martin Hall of the United States and Paul L.T. Héroult of France, both age 22, independently discovered the way to produce aluminum economically. Hall, under the initial direction of his Oberlin College professor, Frank Fanning Jewett, developed a method for reducing aluminum oxide, called alumina, to pure aluminum by electrolysis. In the electrolytic cell, alumina is dissolved in molten cryolite. A strong electric current passes through the solution and removes the oxygen, leaving deposits of nearly pure aluminum on the bottom of the bath. These deposits are siphoned off and cast into pigs (bars), which is a method that is still used today.
  Two years later, on Thanksgiving Day, a pilot plant in Pittsburgh introduced the first commercial aluminum. This introduction lead to the commercialization of a light, lustrous and non-rusting metal that has revolutionized the world. Today, aluminum is used to make everything from aircraft to art, buildings, power lines and packaging. Most patio furniture that is made from aluminum is very light weight. As a material, aluminum is light, which makes it relatively easy to move and is popular because of its resistance to rust and corrosion due to the thin layer of oxidation that forms when exposed to air. Aluminum can handle all sorts of climate and weather. It will hold up well to sun, extreme heat, cold and salt air. Aluminum is a type of metal that is malleable, making it easier to shape. Aluminum is the most important and abundant metal and has become highly desirable for outdoor furniture use. Home owners will find aluminum outdoor furniture to be of high quality and value because of the many advantages it provides. Though the aluminum is lightweight, it is strong enough to be the primary building material in commercial jets. Aluminum patio furniture is the combination of a sturdy aluminum frame with a mesh back and seat. The aluminum frames will either be extruded or solid and are less expensive than cast aluminum. Aluminum offers extreme durability and is a great choice of furniture for outdoors no matter where you live in the country.
  
  

• Resin Wicker "Deep Seating" Patio Furniture

  In these ever changing times, consumers have more choices to make than ever before. Outdoor furniture is desired for anyone looking to entertain or simply enjoy the outdoors. A variety of furniture materials are available, with resin and wicker being among the most common. Deciding between wicker or resin outdoor furniture is ultimately a personal choice.
  Wicker furniture is more expensive and has a much more extensive history than resin furniture; it was first used as material for furniture made by the ancient Egyptians. The first wicker furniture was made with reeds and swamp grasses. Wicker furniture maintained its popularity until the middle ages when it experienced a slight decline. Its popularity came back because of Victorian societies and it has remained popular until the present day. Wicker furniture is woven from materials such as willow, reed and rattan. It is designed to be sturdy, but it's not naturally resistant to the elements and will last longer if not exposed to water or excessive sun. It needs to be treated with a clear lacquer or varnish before being used outside. Wicker furniture is natural and biodegradable, therefore, water can cause the wicker to rot or mildew. It is best to cover wicker furniture when not in use.
  Resin wicker was launched in the States by immigrants from continental Europe more than a century ago. Resin wicker rapidly gained popularity due to its smooth surface and clean lines. Its sanitary benefits were definitely a benefit, but the main attraction was the durability. The resin material prevents the resin furniture from being effected by harmful rays, snow, rain and many other outdoor conditions. Resin furniture became common when technology to synthesize polymers was created. Most resin furniture is made out of polymer, a high density version of polyethylene plastic. Consumers can have a choice between a modern or a traditional Victorian style that is available in a wider variety of colors, textures and some look like natural wood. The resin material and is made to withstand a variety of harsh environmental conditions. Resin furniture is very sturdy and requires little maintenance with an occasional cleaning with soap and water. This material is UV protected, water resistant, and even if exposed to salt water will not be harmed.
