Small material science

In summer we move our living room outside. But which garden furniture is the right one? We tell you what you should look out for when buying.

Easy care? Winterfest? When buying garden furniture not only the appearance plays a big role. Our small material science provides information.

plastic

Practically rain and sun can not harm high-quality plastic. Pay attention to the note "UV-resistant" when buying. Then the material keeps its color. So that the furniture does not get any fine cracks in winter, best protect against frost.

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth or rinse off with the garden hose.

metal

Modern coated metal furniture can stand up to any weather and also tolerate frost and snow. Care The furniture can be easily cleaned with water. Only with deep scratches in the paint is it better to seal the metal with repair paints of the respective manufacturer, so that the material remains protected against rust.

teak wood

Classic Pay attention to the environmentally friendly FSC seal when it comes to extremely weather-proof tropical wood.

Care: When the wood turns gray, apply a teak care . Not ideal for northern balconies, here the wood mosses much faster.

Nature braid

Sensitive rattan furniture looks nice and cozy, but should be protected from rain and be brought in the winter in the house.

Care: Wipe off damp and treat once or twice a year with a special rattan care oil.
