How to Care for Aluminum Restaurant Furniture
Aluminum restaurant furniture is a popular choice for outdoor spaces due to its lightweight, durable, and rust-free design. With proper care, your aluminum furniture can stay beautiful and last for many years. Regular maintenance not only keeps it looking fresh but also extends its lifespan.
Regular Cleaning
All our aluminum frames feature electrostatic powder-coated finishes, making them highly resistant to rust and corrosion. To maintain their look, clean your furniture regularly using mild soap (like Dawn dish detergent) and water. For coastal or saltwater environments, it is recommended to clean your frames weekly to bi-weekly to prevent salt build-up that may lead to corrosion.
Avoid Standing Water
Never use aluminum frames in standing water or submerge them, as prolonged exposure to moisture can shorten the life of the furniture. When water seeps into the tubing, it may remain trapped inside and over time cause internal damage that isn’t always visible from the outside. In colder climates, this moisture can freeze, leading to expansion that may result in cracking, separation of joints, or weakened structural integrity. To prevent this, always store frames in an upright position, allowing any accumulated water to drain naturally. This simple habit not only helps preserve the frame’s strength and finish but also ensures your furniture remains safe, stable, and attractive season after season.
Inspect and Maintain Components
Regularly check the nylon glides at the bottom of each leg, as these small parts play an important role in protecting your aluminum restaurant furniture. Over time, glides can wear down due to friction with hard surfaces, or even crack if exposed to moisture and temperature changes. Replacing worn or damaged glides not only prevents scratches on your flooring or patio but also reduces stress on the frame itself, which helps maintain stability and balance. Making glide inspection part of your routine maintenance ensures both the furniture and the surface it rests on stay in excellent condition for years of use.
Summary
With minimal effort and routine care, your aluminum restaurant furniture will continue to look stunning and perform reliably for years. Regular cleaning, proper storage, and inspection of components are key to extending the life of your outdoor furniture. Consistent care not only saves on replacement costs but also keeps your space welcoming and professional. Think of maintenance as an investment in both comfort and peace of mind.
