STAINLESS STEEL

We use #304 grade stainless steel in our products. It contains a maximum of 0.15% carbon, a minimum of 18% chromium and sufficient nickel to retain an austenitic structure at all temperatures. Grade #304 is the most versatile and the most widely used of all stainless steels. Its chemical composition, mechanical properties, weld ability and corrosion/oxidation resistance provide the best all-round performance stainless steel.

Stainless steel is generally resistant to corrosion. Natural hazards such as dust and moisture in the air can attack the finish on this type of outdoor furniture. A regular cleaning of stainless steel frames is required on a monthly basis to remove the natural deposits, salts. Use fresh water only; spray the frames down thoroughly at a high hose pressure. A soft dusting cloth can then be used to enhance the surface.

Batyline

Batyline® is made by a French company, Ferrari, and is widely used in premium outdoor furniture. Batyline® is an extremely durable and high quality material consisting of a polyester fiber covered by a coating of PVC, making it nearly impossible to tear. It is 100% synthetic and resistant to rot and mildew. It is highly resistant to UV radiation and fading. It can withstand temperature extremes, ranging from -30C to 70C. It is an ideal material to be used near swimming pools or other aggressive environments with chlorine or salt water. Sagging is minimal as it has a maximum stretch of 3%. It also has a "memory" - it will slowly regain its original shape after it has used, especially when placed out in the sun. Batyline® has 7 advantages:

• Perfect Aesthetics
• Unparalleled stability
• Very easy upkeep
• Remarkable deterioration resistance
• Full safety guarantees
• Eco-design and 100 % recyclable
• A quality and certification approach

The mesh weave speeds up the drying process, making them particularly suitable for use around swimming pools and in backyards.
