When furnishing the outdoors of your hotel or restaurant, one of the main issues encountered is to find outdoor furniture that do not get defected under the rain or the sun.
Don’t wait for furniture suppliers to advise you on the right equipment needed, you can be an expert while shopping for your hospitality premise. Here are few tips on how to identify the finest luxury outdoor furniture for your hotel, restaurant, and beach in the Middle East.
Start by checking the frames…
The first thing to do when you want to choose the best outdoor furniture, is to start by inspecting the structure. What are the frames made of? Aluminum and rattan are the most appropriate materials for your garden furniture and here are the reasons why:
Aluminum is a material known for its durability, weather resistance, and endurance (it does not suffer strong effects of corrosion). In addition, aluminum outdoor furniture requires little maintenance, and has the ability to take any shape that a designer imagines. Given that the aluminum outdoor furniture will not rust, the cleaning process is as simple as doing it with a mild soap and water solution. At last, being 100% recyclable, aluminum is considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly metals.
Rattan outdoor furniture, also known by wicker are made of woven fiber formed into a rigid material. Outdoor furniture manufacturers usually offer a wide variety of texture. For example, Skyline Design’s rattan furniture collections consist of seashell, coal, mink, black mushroom and many others. Wicker fibers are made of polyethylene, which is non-toxic and 100% recyclable. This premium synthetic type of weaving is carefully chosen for being long lasting, washable, UV and weather resistant. Rehau, Viro, and Ecolene are some of the suppliers of this type of fiber.
Therefore, aluminum and rattan furniture will lessen the effort that should be made to maintain your restaurant or hotel furniture in good shape.
Then, examine the fabrics…
After checking the frames, proceed to the fabrics. Outdoor furniture manufacturers must provide fabrics that endure the weather change. An efficient choice of fabric would be Sunbrella or Batyline.
Sunbrella fabrics are made of recycled and virgin fibers, and don’t contain PolyVinyl Chloride. PVC which is known as The Poison Plastic, damages the environment, produces toxic chemicals, and causes cancer. For this purpose, Sunbrella has been certified by GREENGUARD Environmental Institute as a safe eco-friendly material. These fabrics provide the ideal combination of fashion, durability and weather resistance. Sunbrella gives all the convenience, and comfort desired.
Batyline is a range of composite fabrics that are 100% recyclable. Batyline is ideal for both indoor and outdoor furniture (sofa sets, bar stools, dining table sets…) and is suitable with any choice of furnishing. These fabrics are produced by the Ferrari Group, an ISO 14000-certified French manufacturer. A specific technology adopted ensures the durability of Batyline’s fabrics, even after many years of use. Batyline fabrics ensure environmental awareness and the usage of optimum resources when it comes to the making of all its products.
Batyline and Sunbrella fabrics not only give your visitors a comfort aspect, but they also make it easier for you to clean and maintain.
Finally, explore the cushions.
Once the two previous steps are successfully accomplished, the last thing to check for high quality modern outdoor furniture is the cushions. Sofa sets, hanging chairs, daybeds, loungers, and gazebo furniture should all have cushions that are made from strong fibers protecting them from deterioration.An efficient way to accomplish that is to use Quick Dry Foam. Quick Dry Foam is produced by a special process called “reticulation” which provides maximum drainage, air circulation and comfort. This guarantees that cushions drain quickly after exposure to rain, salt spray, melting snow, morning dew, or moisture and humidity. In addition, these cushions are easy to wash and have built-in anti-microbial protection.
In conclusion, following these three steps will make you an expert in spotting high quality outdoor furniture. Consequently, choosing these materials for the outdoor sofa sets in your hotel or resort will offer a great experience for your visitors and will save you time and effort for maintenance. Many outdoor furniture stores in the Middle East, especially the GCC (Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, KSA…) feature the finest furniture with these materials. Each time you want to choose outdoor furniture, make sure to do it the right way or else, it would be money, effort, and time wasting.
