Material guide outdoor furniture
Solid wood
Advantages:
- Stable, robust and durable
- Wide choice of wood species and natural or colored finishes
- Sturdy & durable
Since solid wood is a natural material, different grains and knots may be visible. Each piece of solid wood furniture is therefore a unique and unmistakable piece.
Care instructions
Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Dry quickly. Please note: Some types of wood may change color over time under the influence of UV rays
Did you know that…?
Some types of wood can change their color over time under the influence of UV radiation. This is not a sign of inferior quality, but due to the natural material and underlines the individuality of your piece of furniture.
Teak wood
Advantages:
- Weather resistant
- Robust & Durable
Teak is a durable, high-quality plantation wood that is well-suited for outdoor restaurant furniture because of its unique stability and resilience.
Care instructions
Teak has a naturally high oil content, which allows it to withstand extreme weather conditions without much maintenance. Teak furniture should be stored under cover during the winter. Avoid storing this furniture in heated rooms. Here the wood dries out quickly. We recommend regular tightening of the screws.
BATYLINE®
Advantages:
- Extremely tear & abrasion resistant
- Especially water & dirt repellent
- Dimensionally stable
BATYLINE® is a high quality PVC coated micro mesh fabric. The material is characterized by an air-permeable, resistant and easy-care fiber fabric structure that is particularly tear-resistant. It is resistant to UV radiation, does not deform and is easy to clean. Because of its structure, the fabric dries very quickly.
Care instructions
BATYLINE® can be cleaned with soapy water. A sponge with water is sufficient in most cases. Scouring and bleaching agents must be avoided!
Polypropylene
Advantages:
- Durable & robust
- Resistant to weather & environmental influences
- Antistatic
- Recyclable
Polypropylene is a very durable and reliable plastic and is characterized by high strength.
Care instructions
Plastic furniture should be cleaned occasionally with water and a mild detergent. Strong agents can attack the plastic surface. Dirt can easily accumulate in these areas and sun or light exposure can permanently change the color of the product.
Aluminum
Advantages:
- Weather resistant
- Light and strong
- Absolutely corrosion resistant
Aluminum furniture is lightweight and therefore super handy to transport. At the same time, they are very sturdy and can be left outside even in the rain without any problems, optimal also for regions by the sea.
Care instructions
Furniture made of aluminum does not require any special care. Clear water or a gentle lye together with a soft cloth are perfectly sufficient for cleaning the surfaces.
Artificial wicker
Advantages:
- Weather & UV resistant
- Color fast
- Particularly durable
Artificial wicker is made of a man-made fiber that is characterized by high flexibility and tear resistance. The fibers are dyed throughout, eliminating color changes over time. They do not absorb moisture and the furniture is quickly dry after a rain shower. Artificial wicker is stain resistant and insensitive to high temperature fluctuations.
Care instructions
Dirt can be easily removed with a damp cloth or a soft brush and possibly some normal dishwashing liquid. Under no circumstances should hard brushes be used. This can damage the surface and there is a risk that the material will become brittle after a while
Our tip
Store your wicker furniture in winter in a protected indoor space or use protective covers. This will prolong the life and keep your furniture beautiful for a long time.

Steel
Advantages:
- Very stable and durable
- Very easy to clean and maintain
Very sturdy metal that can be coated with different surface methods. For outdoor use, the surface must be galvanized before powder coating. This provides adequate protection against corrosion. With stainless steel, there are different quality levels, which are suitable for and which are not suitable for outdoor use.
Care instructions
Clean occasionally with water and mild soap and dry quickly.
Our tip
Of course, outdoor furniture can also be used indoors, but it is nicer to equip the guest room with furniture adapted to the interior.
