The frame material, finish and cleaning routine affect how a piece performs in service.
Confirm the frame material, joining method and finish for the chosen product. A timber-look surface describes the finish. The underlying construction is a separate specification.
Check the surface coating and ask for its test data where the location calls for resistance to knocks or abrasion.
For coastal or poolside projects, identify the metal grade and protective finish. Confirm suitability for the site with the supplier.
Use the cleaning instructions for the selected covering and frame finish. Confirm which cleaning agents are suitable before using them on the furniture.
