For our aluminium furniture, we use
`virgin aluminium,' which means it is not
reclaimed and is stronger and longer
lasting as a consequence.
We chemically clean the aluminium and
then powder-coat it to prevent oxidation
and to ensure it gives long service with the
minimum of maintenance.
We use two grades of stainless steel;
316 Grade, commonly known as `marine
grade' and 304 Grade, more commonly
used for garden furniture.
Both 316 and 304 are hardwearing and
suitable for use in inland locations whilst
316 is for use in coastal areas, marine and
heavily chlorinated environments, where
oxidation could be a problem.
You should note that all outdoor furniture,
including stainless steel, requires some
maintenance.
If you have any questions or concerns
about the grade that is best for your area,
then please contact your supplier or our
customer service department.
Barlow Tyrie uses first grade plantation
grown teakwood (Tectona Grandis),
obtained from the most reputable, legal
source in Indonesia.
With time, teak acquires a silver grey
patina that complements any outdoor
setting.
The high oil content of the teakwood used
in our furniture enables it to withstand
the harshest weather conditions with a
minimum of maintenance. Teak is very
stable and resistant to rot, which has made
it the first choice for marine and outdoor
use over the centuries.
