Standard and custom stainless steel street furniture
Stainless steel urban furniture is the benchmark for design. A true classic, it's the go-to material when looking for a metal that is resistant, or almost resistant, to corrosion. This material fits into a contemporary environment with its unmistakable silver-grey color. But that's not all! Indeed, climatic conditions will be a determining factor in choosing this metal.

Stainless steel is a conventional steel, meaning it is composed of iron and carbon. Where it differs from traditional steel is that it possesses properties that make it resistant to corrosion. This is made possible by the addition of at least 10.5 % of chromium. This addition creates a protective layer of chromium oxide, which prevents the steel from rusting.

Because stainless steel urban furniture does not rust or oxidize, it is a material ideal in certain contexts. Therefore, certain natural and environmental elements require extremely resistant materials. Typically, this applies to marine or mountainous environments. Consequently, to ensure equipment maintains its aesthetic appeal, stainless steel is the only viable metal.

Our stainless steel furniture is available in two finishes. The mirror-polished finish offers a smooth, silver version with a designer, modern look. As for the brushed stainless steel version, it is very popular with its abrasive aspect caused by unilateral brushing. Shiny or brushed? The choice is yours!
The advantages of stainless steel urban furniture
Stainless steel offers numerous advantages, the main one being its corrosion resistance. This leads to exceptional durability, all with the strength of classic steel. Therefore, like steel or corten, if you need an element that must bear weight in a demanding environment, stainless steel is suitable.

Moreover, this metal is also resistant to temperature variations and is incombustible. This only confirms the previous point.

It is also hygienic and maintenance-free. In fact, if you see “rust” on it, it's not the stainless steel itself but the different particles that have accumulated on it that are oxidizing. Therefore, it will simply be a matter of removing the traces, with a cloth for example.
The disadvantages of stainless steel street furniture
The initial investment might seem like a drawback. However, considering its longevity and low maintenance requirements, it quickly pays for itself.

Actually, its main drawback stems mostly from its appearance. Indeed, it is so smooth that it doesn't leave any room for marks. Therefore, micro-scratches are unforgiving. Nevertheless, this is true for mirror-polished stainless steel.

If you know, in advance, that Outdoor furniture and the’urban equipment will be used infrequently, that does not represent an obstacle.

Finally, his style is strongly associated with that of the contemporary. He may therefore have some difficulty associating with other materials, such as plastic.

Stainless steel is the ally for elements found by the sea or a swimming pool. Ideal in high mountains, it will stand up to all elements in a lasting way. All while bringing an incomparable modern touch. Through our experiences, this material is particularly suited to areas with heavy foot traffic. For example, stainless steel railings in train stations or subways are ideal. We work with stainless steel using bending, rolling, and welding processes. This industrial technique requires in-depth knowledge of the material and a certain savoir-faire.
