Steel
Standard and custom steel urban furniture
When we think of metal street furniture, we immediately think of steel. A true market leader, this material deserves its popularity! Whether for urban furniture or Urban equipment, Steel is synonymous with strength and longevity. It ensures incomparable robustness for a style with industrial and modern connotations.
From a purely technical standpoint, steel is a metal composed of iron and carbon. Its properties depend directly on its carbon content. In fact, this is what differentiates it from other metals like cast iron, for example. That being said, it should be noted that steel in this state is not resistant to corrosion. Therefore, it simply needs to be treated before applying its finish. We use sandblasting metallization when the product is welded.
Once treated, we offer you 3 different finishes: glossy, sanded, or matte. These define the adopted style, the aesthetic choice, the visual identity. Urban furniture made of steel corresponds to the traditional version of the metal. Indeed, if stainless steel represents the design, aluminum, the flexibility and Corten steel, while originality, steel is, in itself, the classic version.
The material of the equipment is also chosen based on the furniture and its intrinsic function. However, to do this, you need to keep the different technical characteristics of the material in mind.
The advantages of steel street furniture
The primary advantage of steel is its great strength. When it comes to urban equipment made of steel, this strength is optimal when it needs to support weight. Therefore, choosing steel for public benches, seating, or other furniture requiring rigidity and solidity is a coherent choice.
Note also that it is incombustible. Therefore, using steel in public spaces is highly recommended.
The resistance of this material also makes it suitable for areas heavily exposed to natural elements. Furthermore, its resistance works in both directions, as shocks have no effect.
The little maintenance it requires is also an argument in its favor. Since their use can be significant and their demands numerous, maintenance is a selection criterion.
Finally, it should be noted that it can be recycled indefinitely without its physical properties being altered.
The disadvantages of steel street furniture
The main drawback of steel is that it must be protected from corrosion. This therefore requires treatment of the material upstream. With this in mind, stainless steel can be a viable alternative.
Next, its weight must be taken into consideration. Indeed, it is very heavy and therefore, difficult to handle. Furthermore, it is absolutely not malleable, unlike the zinc who, at high temperatures, can be or to aluminum.
It is through our various processes, such as folding, rolling, or welding, that we are able to offer you these steel equipment. The latter is therefore ideal for benches, tables, and bike racks. In other words, it is suitable for furniture requiring foolproof strength. Steel urban furniture is the best way not to make a mistake! Furthermore, it goes well with other materials such as guys or the plastic, for original material blends.
