All of our materials are engineered to resist weathering and heavy use, enhanced durability providing strength, longevity and comfort ideally suited for the commercial outdoor environment. This in combination with color and aesthetics are requirements for thoughtful design made right.
HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is renowned for its durability, longevity, and simple care requirements. Paper with resin is compressed with very high pressure into a strong, scratch-resistant surface. HPL is designed to be resistant from UV rays, stains and scratches. PORCELAIN CERAMIC A heat, scratch and water resistant material with an organic feel.
TEAK Sustainably sourced hardwood with naturally high oil content and dense grain allows Teak to resist rot, moisture, warping, and splintering. Wood weathers naturally to a beautiful silvery gray color unless treated.
COMPOSITE CORD Composed of PVC-coated polyester threads. Threads are woven and braided for cord. LITE-CORE An engineered panel constructed with natural granite covering an aluminum honeycomb core. Granite is a highly scratch-resistant solid surface.
TEKWOOD A wood alternative developed from polystyrene. Tekwood provides the look of wood with minimal weathering or maintenance. Color and grain run throughout Tekwood material so minor scratches can easily be sanded out.
WICKER Composed of polyethylene resin extruded into fibers and hand woven around an aluminum frame. Resin wicker is a durable polymer where color is created by mixing dye straight into the resin.
ROPE Solution-dyed olefin rope with a polyester core is engineered using high-quality pigment to create threads with excellent UV, stain and mold resistance. DUAL-LAYER STRAP Composed of a soft outer woven polyolefin sleeve encasing an internal polyethylene woven and bonded strap.
POWDER-COATED ALUMINUM Powder-coated surfaces are resistant to chipping, scratching, fading. Aluminum is lightweight yet sturdy, and rust resistant.
SUNBRELLA® FABRICS Sunbrella® fabrics are 100% solution-dyed acrylic, engineered to protect from mold, mildew, stains and water.
SOLUTION-DYED POLYESTER Solution-dyed polyester fabrics have the look and feel of cotton coupled with weather and sun resistance. SOLUTION-DYED OLEFIN Solution-dyed Olefin fabrics are mold and mildew resistant and quick-drying. Breathable like canvas, this material is durable and manufactured to resist stains.
SLING Composed of PVC-coated polyester threads woven into mesh and cord.
NAUTICAU A PVC-coated marine grade fabric, Nauticau is resistant to cracking, fading, mold and mildew and is 100% waterproof.
NAUTICAU-SI A silicone rubber polymer fabric provides durability and the feel of fine leather.
