What Are the Different Types of Outdoor Patio Chairs and Sofas?
Seating areas can transform your outdoor space into a comfortable, inviting oasis. Here are some common types of outdoor chairs and sofas to consider: Adirondack chairs: This classic chair features a slanted backrest, wide armrests, and a low seat design. Lounge chairs: Settle back into one of these deep-seated chairs for some R&R. They usually include cushions for added support and comfort. Dining chairs: These chairs are perfect for sitting in while you enjoy a bite to eat. Sofas: These seating options can accommodate multiple people. Some come with arms, while others are armless. You can also get sofas with built-in tables for snacks.
What Types of Outdoor Patio Chairs and Sofas Are the Most Durable?
Outdoor chairs and sofas made from durable materials like aluminum alloy, poly lumber, rattan, and teak are the most long-lasting. These materials are weather resistant, which means they can withstand exposure to sun, rain, and wind. When shopping for outdoor furniture, look for sturdy frames and high-quality weather-resistant cushions. You’ll also want to consider the construction techniques and the type of hardware used. For example, solid brass hardware is resistant to rust and corrosion. However, even the most durable outdoor sofas and patio chairs will need proper maintenance to prevent signs of wear and tear. Cleaning your outdoor furniture regularly and storing it during harsh weather conditions can prolong its lifespan.
How Can I Choose the Right Outdoor Patio Chairs and Sofa?
When shopping for outdoor patio chairs and sofas, consider the following: Your space: Whether you have a large backyard or a small balcony, you must ensure your furniture fits comfortably in your outdoor space. Your style: Do you prefer a sleek, modern look or a more traditional style? No matter what look you’re going for, select furniture that compliments it. Maintenance required: Learn about the necessary care and upkeep of the furniture before you purchase. Comfort: Don’t forget about comfort! You want to rest and relax in your outdoor space, not end up with a backache.
What Materials Are Ash & Ember Outdoor Patio Chairs and Sofas Made Of?
Ash & Ember creates premium outdoor furniture built to stand the test of time. Here’s a look at some of the materials we use to construct our various collections of furniture: Grade-A Teak: All of our teak furniture is made with hand-sanded, Grade A teak wood. That means it’s crafted with the most water-resistant, smooth, and evenly colored part of the tree. Aluminum alloy: High-quality aluminum alloy is durable and lightweight. Our metal frames are powder-coated to prevent rust and to provide a sleek, stylish finish. UV-protected poly lumber: Recycled plastic can be transformed into poly lumber – a material that looks like wood but is resistant to fading and cracking. It’s easy to clean with soap and water and won’t need protective coatings to stay looking great. Water-resistant UV polyester upholstered canvas: Our cushions won’t fade or change color over time. They’re also durable and easy to clean.
Are Ash & Ember Outdoor Chairs and Sofas Waterproof or Weather-Resistant?
All of our outdoor furniture is designed to be weather-resistant. That means it can withstand rain, snow, and extreme temperatures without damage or degradation. For example, the Grade-A teak we use contains natural oil to repel water. This prevents water stains from forming on your furniture. And our cushions are water-resistant, so if you spill something, you can wipe it up before it has time to soak in. However, it’s always best to take a few precautions with any outdoor furniture during extreme weather conditions. If a big storm is coming through, consider moving your pieces to a covered area or using a tarp or furniture cover to protect it.
