MATERIALS AND MAINTENANCE

ALLUMIUM

Thanks to the fusion of several aluminum alloys that guarantee solidity, manageability and rust resistance, it is a material of high quality and allows to reach the maximum qualitative and aesthetic results.

Maintenance: To keep the product in good condition for a long time, we recommend a regular cleaning period, particularly frequent in places characterized by high humidity and marine climate. We recommend cleaning the surfaces with a soft cloth using water or neutral detergents. Prolonged and uninterrupted exposures to intense UV radiation or at very low temperatures can affect the initial characteristics of the colored polyester coating. We recommend cleaning and storing products in sheltered areas during long periods of non-use and winter.

INOX

Stainless steel is a material that, thanks to its high resistance to corrosion and to the mechanical characteristics of relief, is more durable and reliable over time.

ACCIAIO

Iron and carbon alloy with carbon percentage less than 2% treated to resist to the atmospheric agents with the cataphoresis process and powder coating.

WOOD

TEAK: High quality material suitable for outdoor furniture because it is extremely resistant to changes in temperature, water, humidity and saltiness.
IROKO: particular type of wood with numerous mechanical, physical and technological properties: its resistance to external stress and workability despite its hardness. The particular stability and medium-high hardness give this wood a good flexural strenght resistance to deformation and guarantee excellent durability.
MAHOGANY: It is a wood with remarkable mechanical, physical and structural properties. It is a compact and solid wood, which does not undergo alterations over time, but which tends to espond well to wear, compression and bending. Its features of solidity and compactness are accompanied by those of longevity, beauty and resistance to thermal changes.
STONEWOOD: thanks to its high quality and its particular technical characteristics it can be employed in many different ways, but always in very high quality contexts. In particular, it is preferably used for the creation of high-quality furniture. Compact wood, easy to process, does not splinter, it is light, reddish brown, it has an aromatic smell because it contains a characteristic essential oil rich in camphor.

Maintenance: Being a natural material, colour variations or even cracks due to the degree of humidity and sudden changes in temperature may be observed. If no maintenance treatment is received, through the periodic application of common and specific protective oil-based, the surface may take a silver-gray patina that can be easily removed with a light surface sanding down and subsequent polishing with a jute cloth. Small superficial stains due to oil or other food products must be removed promptly, before the wood can absorb them in depth, sanding down the affected surface and then polishing it with a jute cloth.

SYNTHETIC ROPES

Double braid made with polyester core and multi-filament propylene cover.
The external fiber is waterproof and resistant to UV rays.

Maintenance: It is recommended to clean with a neutral product and a non-abrasive cloth.

ELASTIC BELT

Obtained through the weaving of synthetic materials especially conceived outdoor use.

Maintenance: We recommend to avoid prolonged contact with greasy substances and / or dyes which could be absorbed by the covering material used and consequently cause permanent stains and risk to deteriorate the structure of the yarn. It is advisable it is suggested to avoid the use of solvents. Use water and non-abrasive liquid detergents with neutral PH and colourless.

FIBRE CEMENT

Any imperfection related to shades of color, surface cracks or porosity will correspond to the standard and will not be considered valid exceptions in this regard.

Maintenance: For proper maintenance it is recommended to clean the surface with a non-abrasive cloth. Small surface spots due to oil, coffee, wine and other food products must be removed promptly. In the case of resistant stains, cleaning with products containing vinegar.

STONE

Marble is certainly one of the most precious and used stones for the outdoor.
Marble, thanks to its particular composition and nature, is a little porous and not absorbing stone, hardness and resistance, making marble one of the most precious and durable stones in time.
The marble formation takes place by means of a metamorphic crystallization process: calcium carbonate, coming into contact with the sedimentary rocks, gives rise to a set of crystals of calcite and various minerals, which determine the complexion.

Maintenance: To maintain the shine of marble and granite it is necessary to clean the surfaces daily: it is sufficient to dilute the neutral soap in warm water.
The surfaces must be rubbed with a sponge or a soft cloth. It will be sufficient to rinse with a damp cloth, being careful not to leave detergent stains

PORCELAIN STONEWARE

Porcelain stoneware, thanks to its excellent physical and flexural strenght, turns out to be ideal for outdoor use, being unaffected by atmospheric agents and unalterable to UV rays. This material is obtained through the synthesis process of ceramic clays, feldspars, kaolins and sand.

Maintenance: For the cleaning of stoneware tops it is advisable to use a damp cloth with water and a neutral detergent to be rinsed and dried with a dry cloth. During the washing phase, pay particular attention to avoid the accumulation of dirt.

ISOTOP

Isotop: High and compact substrate moulded, under high pressure and temperature, giving it strength and stability to weather resistance and outdoor use.
Reinforced with an additional layer of tough resin coating for extra protection against consistent abrasions, scratches and intensive usage in fast food chains, canteens and high traffic cafeteria.

CARPET

All the carpets are made of synthetic fabric and through a special treatment they are waterproof, stain-resistant and anti-bacterial.
The PP yarn ensures an excellent performance in terms long-lasting durability, weather and UV rays resistance.

Daily cleaning: vacuum cleaner without brushes.
Deeper cleaning: professional dry cleaning or steam cleaning.
Stains: pat the area with a clean cloth; use specific detergents following the manufacturer’s instructions

TEXTILENE

Textilene is a polyester fiber protected by a PVC coating. The fibers are bonded together so in order to obtain a particularly solid fibrous material which is durable, resistant to stretching and wear resistant too. The most important characteristic is its elasticity, offers excellent resistance to inhibits mold and stains, and has a surface treatment against UV degradation.

Maintenance: Textilene can simply be cleaned with a sponge cloth with soapy water. Abrasives and solvents must absolutely be avoided! It dries very quickly due to their open structure.

FABRIC

Polyester is a material suitable for outdoor furniture because it is easy to clean, treat and wash. It has high flexural strenght characteristics: it resists breakage, light, abrasion, does not deform permanently and has an excellent elastic shape recovery. It is water repellent, therefore perfect if installed near swimming pool areas or if exposed to adverse weather conditions.
Before closing the parasol it is important to make sure that the cloth is perfectly dry. During the months of not using the umbrella must be stored in a dry place and protected by the appropriate cover. Avoid prolonged contact with greasy substances which could be absorbed by the coating material and give rise to permanent stains, as well as deteriorating the yarn structure. Do not use solvents. Use water and non-abrasive liquid detergents with neutral PH and colourless. If necessary, allow the detergent to act for a few minutes. Rinse with water at a temperature not exceeding 30 ° C.
