Why Europeans and Americans have a special fondness for cast aluminum furniture?

Exquisite craftsmanship, luxurious style, and comfortable seating make cast aluminum furniture a popular choice for high-end outdoor furniture in Europe and the United States. This preference is primarily due to its advantages over other types of outdoor furniture: high hardness, improved corrosion resistance, stylish craftsmanship, lightweight design, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Let's discuss the advantages of cast aluminum furniture in detail!

Lightweight

Cast aluminum is made from high-quality aluminum using traditional techniques in a single casting process. The lightweight nature of aluminum means cast aluminum furniture is significantly lighter than solid wood or glass outdoor furniture. Its lightness makes rearranging furniture a breeze. Aluminum furniture is an excellent choice for camping and other outdoor activities, easily transported by vehicle.

Durability

Cast aluminum furniture is a completely solid design. It not only looks substantial and sturdy, but also exudes an air of nobility. If placed outdoors, it can last for ten or twenty years without major problems, making it unparalleled in durability among outdoor furniture. Its strong, compressive strength and elasticity make it durable and resilient to heavy pressure. It's also easy to clean and scratch-resistant.

Plastic furniture, on the other hand, ages easily and cracks easily, making it suitable for indoor use only and unsuitable for outdoor use. Glass furniture is difficult to repair once damaged, and must be protected from overload, cracking, and scratches.

Currently, outdoor rattan chairs are mostly imitation rattan, made from industrial-grade artificial rattan, which is actually made of plastic. This has a relatively short lifespan and is not very absorbing. Natural rattan chairs are most importantly protected from direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can brittle the material and cause it to break. In wet and rainy weather, proper ventilation is essential to prevent mold and insect damage.

Corrosion Resistance

Cast aluminum furniture offers excellent waterproof and sun-resistant properties, allowing it to remain outdoors year-round without changing color. It is also fireproof, waterproof, and resistant to acid rain and salt spray. Aluminum is chemically reactive and reacts with oxygen in the air at room temperature, forming a dense aluminum oxide film on its surface, which prevents further oxidation. Cast aluminum furniture is also protected by a plastic spray coating. Therefore, cast aluminum furniture has excellent corrosion resistance.

Rattan furniture can dry out, loosen, and fall apart under prolonged sunlight. High temperatures can cause the rattan strips to dry out and become brittle, losing their toughness and making them difficult to recover after sitting. Rattan furniture is particularly susceptible to dust and is difficult to clean. Dust between crevices should be removed with a paintbrush or vacuum cleaner; do not use water. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the rattan from losing its elasticity and luster.
