Malta Set with Cushions
As part of our business, we supply alot of customers, hotels and restaurants with synthetic furniture. It provides a modern and stylish alternative to Teak furniture and can be easily customized to suit a customers needs. It is no surprise then that its popularity has increased over the years.
In Dubai where the summers can be extremely punishing on garden furniture, synthetic presents a excellent solution for someone wanting to relax in the garden in the cooler months.
At this point the buyer has a multitude of options available. The following is a list of tips that any buyer should look out for when considering synthetic furniture.
- Look for a company who uses a synthetic material with a warranty. We use Rehau and Viro both reputed companies who guarantee their synthetic against fading and degrading for 3 years. Although more expensive, one knows that the furniture will last. Go down the cheaper route and in 18months in the extreme gulf weather conditions, it could disintegrate – I have seen it happen.
- Get confirmation from the company from whom you buy that their synthetic frames have 360 degree welding. The frame of the synthetic is welded aluminium. Falaknaz the Warehouse ensures frames are welded ensuring that the frames are strong and sturdy. A common shortcut is to spot weld the joints. This saves money, time but not strength. The customer will find their furniture may break 12 months down the line.
- The aluminium frame will deterioate by oxidization or known as white rust if left unpainted so make sure you only buy furniture with aluminium frames which are painted with car body paint or powder coated.
- The cushions make up a large part of synthetic furniture and it’s important to know what you are getting. How durable are the cushions? Will the colours fade? What advice on types of Fabrics? It goes without saying that you get what you pay for with the cushions. Its worth spending a little bit extra to make sure that the cushions are good quality. It would be upsetting to find mould over your 3 month old cushions. We can custom make the cushions for you at our local factory in Dubai.
