Why Choose Cast Aluminium Furniture?

Many ranges of furniture available at Garden4Less.co.uk are made from Cast Aluminium, and it's no accident.

Wood is known to become weak, often rotting over time if left unprotected. Iron is prone to rusting quickly. Plastic can sometimes lack in strength. Cast aluminium, however, is one of the best materials available for outdoor furnishings because it has the best features of all three.

Unlike cast iron ranges, aluminium designs will not rust or weather, meaning there is no risk in leaving it outside all year round. Being metal, it is naturally stronger than its plastic competitors. It's also lighter than the iron and wooden ranges, so if for any reason you do wish to store it in a shed or garage, you won't put your back out in the process.

The only time your furniture may weather is if it gets chipped or damaged in some way. The exposed metal can react to pollutants in the air. It won't rust, but instead, it can discolour and develop a rough or pitted surface. This is caused by tiny amounts of oxide that will appear on the exterior, which then acts as a protective layer, stopping further weathering. This quality makes cast aluminium a great choice for patio furniture, as it will last for years to come.
