Exploring Different Materials for Commercial Site Furnishings - Canaan

When it comes to commercial site furnishings, choosing the right material is crucial. It not only affects the aesthetics and durability of the furniture, but also its environmental impact. At Canaan, we take pride in exclusively working with the best materials available, ensuring that our products can withstand the elements for decades to come while also minimizing harm to the environment.

Galvanized Steel

One of the most commonly used materials in site furniture is Galvanized Steel. Known for its durability, galvanizing a metal gives it anti-corrosion properties. By submerging steel components in a bath of molten zinc, a protective coating is applied that prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel. This process not only enhances the longevity of the furniture but also makes it resistant to harsh weather conditions. With Canaan’s powder coating technology, Galvanized Steel furniture can even last for decades without losing its aesthetic appeal.

Stainless Steel

For those looking for a durable and low-maintenance option, Stainless Steel is an excellent choice. It is known for its corrosion and oxidation resistance, making it ideal for outdoor furniture that is exposed to various weather conditions. We offer our clients a choice of grade 304 or 316 stainless steel, depending on their specific needs. Not only is Stainless Steel long-lasting, but it is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Aluminum

Aluminum is another material that is gaining popularity in the commercial site furnishings industry. It is lightweight, recyclable, and has outstanding formability. Unlike other metals, aluminum is not affected by temperature fluctuations and is resistant to impact, moisture, and corrosion. This makes it a perfect choice for furniture that needs to withstand outdoor elements while still maintaining its structural integrity.

Recycled Plastic Lumber

In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, we offer Recycled Plastic Lumber as an alternative to wood furniture. Our recycled plastic lumber is long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free. It is impervious to rot, mold, mildew, insects, moisture, and other types of decay, making it a perfect choice for environmentally-conscientious organizations. By using recycled materials, we not only reduce the demand for virgin plastic but also contribute to the reduction of waste.

Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC)

Lastly, we also offer Composite Wood, also known as Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC). It is a composite material made of recycled organic wood material, such as sawdust, and thermoplastics such as PE, PP, and PVC. Composite wood is resistant to rot, decay, and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor applications. At Canaan, our engineered wood features a co-extruded shield encasing all four sides of its core, providing additional protection against scratches, stains, and fading.

At Canaan, we understand that each project has unique requirements, and that is why we offer a robust selection of materials for our commercial site furnishings. From Galvanized Steel and Stainless Steel to Aluminum, Recycled Plastic Lumber, and Composite Wood, we ensure that every component of our furniture goes through rigorous testing and inspection. Our goal is to provide our clients with durable, high-quality furniture that not only enhances their outdoor spaces but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
