Standard and custom aluminum street furniture
In terms of materials For urban furniture, aluminum is capable of impressive technical feats, while also being common through its use in our daily lives. This metal is the embodiment of flexibility and curves, but also of lightness and finesse. Building on its ability to literally bend over backwards, aluminum urban furniture offers a multitude of possibilities: folding, rolling, and welding.

Purely formally, aluminum is a metal derived from alumina, which itself is extracted from bauxite. Naturally and abundantly present in the Earth's crust, we have largely integrated it into our daily lives. And for good reason! Unlike corten, stainless steel, or zinc, it has a low density. Therefore, its lightness makes it a major asset. And, all the more so, for manufacturing urban equipment.

However, its malleability does not in any way compromise its strength or rigidity. Therefore, a public bench made of aluminum, shelters, or any other equipment can be totally envisioned. Thanks to the breadth of our range, you have different finishes available. Indeed, while it is traditionally silver-colored, other colors are available. Thus, we offer to paint it using the powder coating process. From then on, you have access to a fairly wide range of colors. Then, you will have, as a choice, three finishes (glossy, grained, or matte). Furthermore, we also offer an anodized version.
The advantages of aluminum urban furniture
Naturally present and in abundance, aluminum is distinguished by its extreme resistance to corrosion. It is therefore a major ally for the manufacture of Outdoor furniture. Its aesthetic endures significantly, giving an impression of newness and cleanliness.

Its great resistance to corrosion results in a guarantee of minimal maintenance. However, in public spaces, time and maintenance costs are decisive criteria.

Next, its malleability is also a significant advantage! Indeed, it allows for the creation of innovative curves and shapes. This is all the more appreciable given our range of custom-made aluminum urban furniture. Therefore, your imagination knows no bounds.

Finally, its lightness greatly facilitates the installation of aluminum equipment. Therefore, if you plan to change their location frequently, this can be interesting.
The disadvantages of aluminum urban furniture
Its lightness can be a disadvantage in certain environments. In such cases, opting for steel equipment, for example, would be preferable.

Secondly, cost can also be a barrier to investment. It should also be noted that it conducts heat strongly. In this scenario, using aluminum furniture for a park might seem inappropriate.

Finally, its thinness, in some cases, also results in low resistance to blows and impacts. Therefore, depending on the intended use of the equipment, this will need to be taken into account.

Whether on its own or combined with other materials, aluminum is appealing due to its flexibility, in both senses of the word. The various finishes also allow you to make no compromises on the overall aesthetic. For lightness, both visually and physically, opt for aluminum urban furniture!
