3 Reasons Why You Need A Teak Shower Stool

3 Reasons Why You Need A Teak Shower Stool

Taking a bath is probably the best thing after a tiring day at work. It will be a heavenly pleasure to soak yourself in the bathtub and play with your favourite yellow duck. So does it mean you cannot enjoy yourself without a bathtub? Having a bathtub is not a norm in Asian countries mostly because bathtub takes up so much space in the bathroom or just never thought of it before renovating their house. Typically, it will be unwise to install a bathtub, once your home is settled down. Hence, a teak shower stool is made to address this problem that does not break the bank. 

 

Shower stool comes in many types and shapes, some can be installed and attached to the shower wall permanently, either fixed or foldable (also known as shower bench). But again, we are here to save your bank and give the best solution to your existing bathroom setup. A portable shower stool is what we will discuss here and we will share with you the top 3 reasons why you need a shower stool for your bathroom, and why it can be a better choice over a bathtub.

Clean Thoroughly

If you like to take your time showering, then you will like the idea of sitting down while taking the bath. How often do you bend down to clean your toes? Are you the type of person that takes a quick shower? Most people are reluctant and like to take a quick way, like cleaning the parts of your body that require some “work”. Well, we understand if there was a seat for you, you would probably take more time to clean every inch of your body, since you will not get tired from your feet for standing long.

Increase Safety with Teak Shower Stool

For elderly people or people who have problems standing, a shower stool can be a lifesaver for them, especially on the slippery floor. In addition, people who have temporary disabilities like sprained ankles, knee surgery, and torn ligaments, can be beneficial from having a seat in the bathroom too – it is a great investment for both in the long and short term, as you never know when bad things happen.

Even if you are physically strong, you might need a shower stool while taking bath. Do you lift and clean your foot, while leaning against the wall? This gesture can be dangerous if you lose your balance; you can prevent accidents by sitting down. Besides adults, having a small chair can be helpful for your kids, especially if you are training them to take care of themselves. In short, shower stools can benefit every one of you, regardless of age and condition.

Signature  

Multiple Usages of Shower Stools 

Even though it is a teak shower stool, as the name suggests, can be used as a small chair for your shower room, it is versatile for all conditions. Ladies, if you need to shave your legs before the long-waiting date, you can put your leg on the stool (one at a time) and take care of your business safely. For men also, you can clean and wash your leg conveniently, if you prefer not to sit, especially if you are in the rush. Alternatively, the teak  shower stool can be a temporary table for you to place shower accessories like shower gels, proving quick access and convenience to you.

Having a portable shower stool, as opposed to an attached one, is a better choice; it’s lightweight and portable, and you can basically take it anywhere that is needed. It can be a regular stool chair for your living room, bedroom, or outdoor garden, or a small step-up object for you to reach higher cabinets in the kitchen.

Buying Tips

Teak shower stool differs from regular stools, it is made to contact with water all the time. This kind of shower stool is usually made up of teak, PVC, & plastic. Depending on your budget, teak is our choice as it’s the most solid and durable among all – after all, safety is the most important factor for getting a chair for your bathroom, so choosing a quality shower stool is a no-brainer. For the teak, choose the one finished in natural oil, as that provides an extra layer for scratch and water – making it last for years without additional care.

A shower stool sometimes comes with a back, for the sake of versatility, we suggest a simple backless shower bench, which not only easily matches your existing home setup, but is also great in all conditions as mentioned. For additional comfort and safety, pick the one with a curvy and ergonomic seat design that helps people sit at the center, rather than the edge of the stool. Last but not least, be sure to get a shower stool with a non-slip rubber grip on the bottom, which eliminates all the risks and accidents from happening; this is probably the most important thing to look up to while buying a shower stool.

Why Teak And Wicker Are Best Outdoor Materials For Outdoor Furniture ?

Buying outdoor furniture has never been an easy task for us. To match the design and theme of the outdoors we often look for functionality and the designs of the furniture, but the key factor to building a great piece of outdoor furniture is always choosing the quality material. Materials we bring together to perform for decades with design excellence and to deliver the best in outdoor conditions are Teak and Wicker.

Our Grace Collection

Teak is one of the best Timber woods for outdoor furniture manufacturing. It is indelibly strong and durable. The presence of oil in teak makes it withstand the harsh effects of hard rains and harsh sunlight. Such furniture does not allow you to worry about pests and worms, as it serves as a repellent to insects and termites.

To the texture of Teak it looks beautiful in natural form and does not need any paint or varnish, but if you desire so you can apply a marine coat or the teak sealer.

Our Astria Extension Dining Table

Teak is the hardest, most durable, and strongest of the hardwoods, making it the perfect material for outdoor furniture that lasts longer. Regardless of the look, you are after we advise you to use a protective coating to help guard against rain and spills. We recommend the use of “Teak Shield”wood treatment.

Our Teak Crown Collection

Wicker compliments the design through its flexible nature. To give furniture pieces a durable design synthetic fiber is used for outdoors, the modern term for wicker with some additional materials. Synthetic fiber is a resin material extruded in strands that replicates the natural bamboo and rattan wicker that you may know. While there are other base materials available, the only option suitable for outdoor furniture is PE or polyethylene.

PE is not an only eco-friendly option but is the best performing when suitably treated. PE pellets are melted down and fed into an extrusion machine.We use recyclable material and also add ultraviolet stabilisers. Colour mixtures and aa varietyof textures, sizes and profiles have meant that we can offer a huge range of beautiful wicker furniture pieces.

Our Monaco Collection

Monaco Dining Chairs

Synthetic fiber has a light weight thus easy to maintain and install anywhere as per your choice. It comes in different shapes and textures to match outdoor designs and customer preferences.

 

Pianeta Sofa Collection

Teak and wicker are highly resistant to harsh climates, thus durable and suitable for outdoor gardens and patios. The combination of teak and wicker comes in different designs. We use different types of wicker depending on the design of the furniture, if we look for chairs then wicker rods may be used but if we are searching for a design where we have to rest for long then flat wicker strips are better. one can choose a color combination to meet the design and theme outdoors. Every color affects your emotions in subtle ways, but because of the wired climate conditions, we have brought our collection through research for increasing your outdoor sustainability and will make your patio and garden instantly happy and more peaceful.

 

We have seen the biggest trend in outdoor dining furniture over the last year is the emergence in popularity of a combination wicker lounge and dining outdoor setting. So if you have outdated or mismatched outdoor furniture, then it is the right time to transform your space into an oasis that will encourage you to spend more time outside.

 

Teak and wicker are naturally weatherproof and are fit to support your family and guests for the comfortable evenings to come. Teak is a hardy wood that looks like it belongs outdoors, however, it is not difficult to complement your natural landscaping with teak furniture, because the weathered wood matches the outdoors near coastal areas.

 

The outdoor areas are just as important as the inside when it comes to home complementing your exhibiting to the property’s best features. Whether it is a small or large outdoor living space, buyers look at balconies, decks, and verandas as extensions of their homes and lifestyle. 

 

One of the benefits of buying from Triconville Malaysia is the product warranty, though our products are extremely durable and are built to withstand a variety of weather conditions. This makes us one of the best options for buying quality furniture as you will not have to worry about your furniture being destroyed by the extreme temperature

 

Teak and wicker furniture pieces are extremely low maintenance. There is no need to worry about bringing your furniture, or covering it up when there is bad weather. Our furniture requires very little effort to keep it looking like new. Wicker can easily be cleaned by using mild soap to remove the intense debris with a garden hose.

 

Wicker furniture is the classic staple to outdoor living spaces and houses. Wicker provides warmth to a living space, as it is versatile, sturdy, and can have modern, clean lines. Investing in wicker furniture has many benefits. It can fit any space or design vision. Wicker furniture allows an owner to match it to any decorating scheme. In the future, the furniture’s paint can change, and applying a new color is an easy way to alter the look. A clear coat on wicker furniture brings out its natural beauty, making it ideal for a more rustic look. If one desire pops of color to the wicker decor, adding custom cushions or pillows is an easy way to update any room or patio. This brings us to the most significant benefit of wicker: it is timeless.

 

Wicker outdoor furniture could be comfy and elegant, or it could be hardy, but it was seldom both. Where once wicker outdoor furniture could only be expected to last a few years at best without rigorous care, today’s all-weather wicker furniture will last decades in any climate with all the rustic charm and cozy comfort of its predecessors.

 

Wicker has a unique appeal in any setting. Its rustic refinement is rarely matched in the furniture world, indoors or out. With the variety of styles, sizes, shapes, and colors available today, it’s not difficult to find the perfect wicker piece for even the most discerning patio. If you’re in the market for outdoor furniture, wicker is worth a second look

at the strength of a furniture piece, it relies on its frame. We use powder-coated aluminum as the frame which is weaved by the wicker. Even most natural weaves are equipped with metal frames these days. Aluminum is the most common, being strong yet lightweight, not to mention rust-proof and immune to insects and elements.

 

Corporating aluminum into wicker furniture has allowed the production of such designs which were previously unavailable, such as swivel bar stools, double gliders, and even wicker serving carts. Although extremely rare, it’s still possible to find wooden frames in natural wicker pieces, but again this makes the piece both more cumbersome and prone to decay if used outdoors. When it comes to frames, the advantages of aluminum far outweigh those of wood.

 

Living outdoors is essential to get the sigh and relief from the depression and long hours of work. Beautifully designed outdoors can bring you all charm back to your life. The cool breath and freshness of the outdoors is a wonderful thing to enjoy & bloom. During sunset and being alone in the outdoor garden, while reading a novel makes you feel the character of the story.

Corda Sofa Collection

The serene environment can only be enjoyed to its fullest when you have the modern garden chair from Triconville outdoor furniture Malaysia. This design has been recently introduced and modified to give the best level of comfort to the user. It is designed to give complete treatment to the lumbar spine through its deep seat and slanted back. Besides the outdoor furniture, it is a free advantage that our customers get from our products. In addition to the production, we always bring additional features to the products through innovation to give delightful services to the customers.

Triconville outdoor furniture Malaysia offers a wide range of outdoor furniture at a special price to enjoy the coming comfortable events. Offers will last soon so it’s better to make your moments cheerful through our outdoor collection. We wish you a great and happy outdoor life.

Top 10 Superior Outdoor Furniture Materials To Consider In 2022

When we speak of outdoor furniture, the one standard that surely pops into our minds is durability. Nobody wants to buy outdoor furniture that couldn’t stand the test of time! Thus, what’s important is to find outdoor furniture materials that are of high quality and have good permanence over time.

What materials should you consider that would make good outdoor furniture?

1. Teak Wood

Major furniture brands used teak wood widely. It is a sought-after material due to its high demand yet limited availability. Teak is resistant to cracks, rot, and decay. Hence, that’s why teak is a priority choice when it comes to outdoor furniture.

Its ability to repel water, delicate drying process to avoid expansion and contraction and optimum strength are some other fine characteristics that teak wood holds.

To top all that, teak also contains high oil content which makes it highly resistant to damage. As we are moving towards a more sustainable future, teak wood is an ideal material selection for any outdoor furniture design. Some wood connoisseurs have also confirmed that teak has a durability period of around 50 years making Teak one of the best outdoor furniture material.

Teak wood has a natural light brown shade that goes well with many styles, especially the earth tone color palette. Triconville has experimented with different weathered shades of teak’s natural color in our growing outdoor furniture collections. Vento is a classic teak wood outdoor furniture choice that stands out just by existing on your patio.

To clean the teak, simply use mild soap and a wet cloth to wipe the wood surfaces. Teak relatively is very low maintenance.

Vento Collection

2. Metal

One of the strongest outdoor furniture materials available is metal. Metal is common for outdoor furniture due to its strength and flexibility. The greatest advantage of using metal is its ability to achieve complex designs such as unique metallic frames of different shapes and sizes.

Metal is one of the materials that have superior flexibility over other materials available.

Metal bending, cutting, welding, and multiple usages help to avoid the wastage of materials. It is also an appealing choice to combine metal with other materials such as teak wood, synthetic rattan, and ropes creating a more functional yet aesthetically pleasing design.

The only drawbacks of metal as an outdoor furniture material are – all metals are vulnerable to rust and they may heat up when exposed to the sun. This can cause the metal furniture slightly uncomfortable to use if left under the heat for long periods.

3. Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is the most versatile outdoor furniture material. The chemical composition, mechanical properties, weldability, and corrosion resistance make stainless steel one of the best all-rounder performance materials within the furniture industry. It is a practical choice for long-term purchases thanks to its durability and low maintenance routine. Similar to metal (but better) is that it has excellent bending and welding characteristics to achieve elaborated designs.

This sturdy metal alloy is extremely strong. It is a great material option for large heavy-weight outdoor dining tables, sofas, and other modular/sectional furniture items. Its high-density composition makes it virtually immune to rust and corrosion. 

Outdoor furniture made out of stainless steel provides great resistance to windy conditions, especially for the poolside, garden, and highrise open decks. Designers are prone to selecting this material in their styling due to its sleek silver metallic shade to showcase a premium feel for high-end clients.

Triconville is ahead in using stainless steel within its various collections. Siro dining table and Alzette chairs are a few examples of Triconville’s furniture catering for the European and American markets. The favorable takeaways from stainless steel as outdoor furniture material are durability, rust resistance, sturdy, and easy maintenance.

Alzette Dining Chairs

4. Aluminum

Another common material used for outdoor furniture is aluminum. Aluminum is lightweight, has a strong chemical composition, and is flexible. Aluminum is relatively inexpensive, rust-free, and simple to upkeep. The quality of its being highly weather-resistant gives assurance to users to buy outdoor furniture made out of aluminum. One of our best-selling collections, Gazelig, is a combination of powder-coated aluminum and teak wood to bring out the best of both materials as outdoor furniture.

Most people would prefer powder-coated aluminum for aesthetic purposes. Powder-coating aluminum also not only enhances its performance over its lifespan but increases protection against scratching too. Bear in mind that Aluminum as an outdoor furniture material, due to its lightweight feature, hollow tube frames aluminum may not be suitable in a windy environment.

Gazelig Lounge Chairs

5. Synthetic Rattan – All-Weather Wicker

Synthetic outdoor wicker is exceptionally stable and durable. Most wicker went through an intricate process of dying and texturing to create its distinctive look. Synthetic wicker requires minimal maintenance but we do recommend periodic cleaning to remove any dirt, dust, or oils to keep your wicker looking new.

Most wicker is from synthetic polyethylene material. This material is a high-quality resin that is extremely dense, resistant to weather damage, and eco-friendly as it is non-toxic and renewable. Natural wicker on the other hand is made from a variety of organic sources such as rattan, seagrass, bamboo, banana leaf, and even willow. 

High-quality synthetic wicker is safe to be used continuously. It is highly damage resistant and a great outdoor material that can be left under the sun without experiencing severe degradation. Grace, as the name suggests is a finesse wicker design that Triconville has within its collections. Most synthetic wicker is constructed over an aluminum frame to increase the weight that the furniture can support and comes in a variety of shades, sizes, and designs.

Grace Sofa Collection

6. Polyester Rope

Polyester ropes are stronger and more abrasion-resistant than nylon rope. Unlike nylon rope, polyester has a low stretch factor. This characteristic is one of the main factors that makes polyester rope a popular choice for outdoor furniture material. It is also UV-resistant and low maintenance.

Triconville has been exploring new ways to incorporate polyester rope in its furniture designs. Vino tops it all among Triconville’s 2021 rope furniture collections. Vino collection pioneers this concept by tweaking the balance between rope details and its aluminum frame. Little care and maintenance are needed to retain polyester rope in its optimum form. To keep it clean, always remember to instantly wipe any stains that got onto the material. It is just as simple as using a mist of mild soapy water with a soft cloth gently scrubbing over the rope- and letting it dry.

 Vino Collection

7. Acrylic Fabric

 

Outdoor fabrics made out of acrylic fibers are strong and durable against weather and use damage. Its properties make it impervious to mold and mildew and can hold up well against rubbing and tearing. This is especially important for outdoor furniture upholstery in active residential and commercial applications. 

Acrylic fabrics are solution-dyed, which means that the threads are dyed before they are woven. This allows the textile to retain its color longer, even when exposed to direct sunlight.

Even though acrylic fabrics are highly water-resistant, they are more breathable than other synthetic fabric options- allowing the fabrics to stay cooler in hot weather. They are easily cleaned with just mild soap and water. It’s only a wipe away!

Triconville uses the world-renowned acrylic fabric brand called Sunbrella as our fabric option in all of our outdoor furniture collections. Sunbrella is durable and suitable under various environmental conditions.

Sunbrella Fabric On Snix Collection

8. Olefin Fabric

Olefin is another solution-dyed synthetic fabric that is durable, quick-drying, and fade-resistant. It stands up against mold, moisture, and heat. Olefin is less expensive than acrylic fabrics which makes it a more affordable choice to have in outdoor furniture.

It is lightweight and has a unique texture slightly different from Sunbrella. Olefin is stain proof and durable against abrasions with minimal care routine. It is a great equivalent selection to acrylic fabrics yet costs less to have.

Sunproof Fabric On Vento Aluminum Collection

9. Sling Polyester Fabric

Sling polyester fabric is a synthetic material typically coated with either acrylic or vinyl (PVC mesh) as surface protection. Polyester is strong, flexible, and water-resistant making it impervious to damage and staining. It can dry quickly and is impossible to tear under normal wear and tear usage. Acrylic-coated polyester works well for accent items and pillows. While vinyl-coated polyester has a more plastic feel to it that suits bigger items such as seatings, back slings, screens, and umbrellas. They come in various colors and patterns which give the users an endless palette to choose from.

One of the most renowned manufacturers of high-end sling polyester fabric is Ferrari. Triconville uses Ferrari, specifically the Batyline® Mesh material on its outdoor furniture such as Alzette loungers. Batyline® Mesh is famous for its strong and long-lasting quality. The sufficient porosity between the fabric weaving allows airflow that helps the material to stay cool and quick drying.

Another excellent feature of this sling polyester fabric is the ability to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from 30 celsius to 70 celsius. The best use of this material is usage near swimming pools and places with a high presence of chlorine and saltwater.

Alzette Lounger

10. QuickDry® Foam

Open-cell foam is a type of foam that has pores that allows water to easily flow through it. This feature makes this foam comfortable and cool to use. However, open-cell foam is more expensive than other types of foam available. It also has an Urecel – QuickDry® Foam, a premium brand of open-cell foam. It is an advanced, high-performance foam that is specifically engineered for outdoor upholstery furniture collections. QuickDry® is used by Triconville for its outdoor furniture especially to cater to premium customers in the US and Europe.

There’s no denying that there are plenty of other materials available in the market that can be used for outdoor furniture. But some of the ones we have mentioned above are worth taking note of. We have tested and used most of them in our best collections.

Extension Table Vs. Fixed-Length Table: 7 Factors to Consider When Choosing The Perfect Outdoor Dining Table

Extension table vs fixed-length table

In this post, we’ll go through the various advantages and disadvantages of extension table and fixed-length table. Since holidays are coming and you are getting ready for guests – food, drinks, decoration, games, etc. Only one thing left before you can sit back and relax – do you have enough seats for your guests? Well, adding more tables is what most people do, but the overall presentation of the dinner is not as delightful, since some people will have to sit at different tables, which happen to be different designs or colors, from the main table – unless you have bought the same tables to match up the theme. 

 

Nevertheless, when you are shopping for an outdoor dining table for either your garden or backyard, you should always think twice before you make any decision, as it is a huge investment. The first thing to consider is, how often gathering takes place and how many people will be present. For instance, if you have a family party twice a month, a total of 12 people, and only 6 people when no guests are around – an extension table for 12 will be your option. However, there are certain conditions where you would prefer a fixed-length garden table, other than the reason we just mentioned.

Extension table for 12

ExtensionTable For 12

Adaptability

Extension table no doubt is flexible and able to adapt to the number of guests, both planned and unplanned events. Whereas fixed-length can only offer a limited amount of seats – guests will have to fight for their seats or keep their eyes on whoever is finishing the food.

Choice of Materials

An extendable table is harder to make, as it is built to be able to transform or extend, in which screws are necessary – it is usually made up of teak, leaving you to have a lesser choice. On the other hand, a fixed-length dining table can be made up of other materials but teak-like synthetic wicker, in which the table can be woven in unique weaving styles and colors, based on your preference – fully customize your outdoor theme.

Design

The ideal design or the appearance of the table is entirely dependent on personal choice – if you like a slightly complicated or fancy design, go for an extension table, since it involves moving parts and requires more room to make it work. Extendable table can sometimes impress your guests, as it’s more fun and cool than a regular table, leaving them a great dining impression – it works exceptionally well on kids. 

 

As opposed to complicated design, fixed length tables tend to look thinner and can be built on every simple setup – a piece of teak wood on four legs. This fits well for your minimalist outdoor setup, and of course, if you prefer, complex design for fixed-length is always available for your option.

Portability

If you have a huge backyard, congratulations to you and you may skip this part. For those who would like to save space, getting a portable table or furniture is vital, as you can use the table either indoors or outdoors, or keep it in the corner when you do not need it. The extension table, as we have discussed above, tends to be complicated and heavier due to the materials used; therefore, it’s not easy to move around. 

 

The fixed-length outdoor table is simple and can be made up of lighter materials, such as a wicker and powder-coated aluminum frame. It’s much more portable and even your kids can help you to move the table.

Cost & Space

Generally speaking, an extension table is more costly than a fixed-length dining table, because of its complexity and materials. However, if you know you will be holding gatherings regularly at your house, like the example we talked about in the beginning – it’s worth the investment of getting an extension table. If you have a fixed-length table and need more seats to accommodate your guests, not only does it cost more to get extra tables to entertain, but also need more space to keep it. Whereas extension tables save cost and space, in the long run.

Ease of Use

Needless to explain, a fixed-length dining table requires zero knowledge to operate. But an extension table can be tricky sometimes, especially for someone who is not familiar with the operation part, such as your kids or your guests. They might get injured if not taken care of properly.

Maintenance

The simpler the better. An extension table involves more mechanical and moving parts; it tends to break more easily, as compared to a fixed-length dining table. In addition to that, the moving joints need to be taken care of regularly, such as cleaning and oiling, to keep the screws away from mold and rot, so that it moves smoothly. Other than dusting the dirt away, a fixed-length dining table needs no special care and lasts for years of use.

Astria Extension Table

Based on the comparison, we hope you can make the right decision and be wiser, when it comes to choosing your garden table. Once you make up your mind, you can then select the look and style you like from an outdoor furniture store that offers a wide variety of collections for outdoor garden tables.

5 Best Durable Sling Chairs To Replace Your Camp Chairs With

In this blogpost, we’ll share out top 5 sling chairs to replace your camp chair with. Camp chair, or beach chair, I bet you have seen this all around – it is the kind of chair that is commonly found at finishing and camping, of course, it is foldable and lightweight for ease of transportation. Most importantly, the camp chair is affordable for most people, thus it is used as a patio and garden chair quite often. 

 

Although camp chair may sound like the ultimate solution for people who are wanting to renovate the patio on a budget, it will cost you more in the future. The camp chair is normally made up of fabrics and some parts are made of metals, and the fabric does not last long under long exposure to sunlight – it gets dry and eventually cracks. Additionally, the fabric absorbs liquid quickly and retains it for a good amount of time – surely nobody likes to sit on a wet chair. On the other hand, the metal frame can grow fungus and mildew easily, due to the natural structure of the metal, and that makes your chair gross.

 

Therefore, when you are shopping for a patio chair, make it a long-term investment and get yourself a sling chair instead of a camp chair. Sling chair, which has the mesh kind of seating for its comfort, is typically made up of vinyl-coated polyester, acrylic yarns, as well as other synthetics such as olefin and PVC; for the best interest of your money and ease of maintenance, sling is our top pick for the sling chair.

Sling, a kind of mesh that has one of the most durable qualities, is capable of performing extremely well on your patio, even after a long duration under direct sunlight, owing to the structure of the sling. Moreover, the porous surface of the sling allows liquid to go through completely – not only does it prevent fungus growth, but also keeps the seating dry and clean (the sling is easy to clean too if needed). sling features its memory structure for the seating – it comes back to its original shape after it is used, so it will always look sleek and new.

Besides the seating, sling chairs are usually constructed in the weather-resistant frame such as treated teak, stainless steel, and powder-coated aluminum frame.

Metal Outdoor Dining Chair – Which Material Is Best (5 Factors To Consider)

Gazelig metail outdoor dining chair and lounge chair

When buying an metal outdoor dining chair for either your garden or patio, many things need to take into consideration – materials, types, styles, comfort, guarantee, etc. However, the number one characteristic of your outdoor dining chair has to be the capability to endure the weather, specifically direct sunlight and moisture; particularly if you live in a country with a high level of humidity.

Before making your decision, it’s important to understand that every material performs well at its own stage, meaning each material has its specific strength and weakness, and it’s entirely up to you to pick up and sacrifice both the good and bad parts.

We will talk about the metal outdoor dining chair, as metal outdoor furniture is the most durable in weather.

metal outdoor dining chair are very popular, because of its flexibility to blend and shape into the desired appearance, as compared to teak. Therefore, metal made dining chairs tend to be more contemporary and stylish, suitable for your modern home setup. In addition, metal outdoor dining chairs can be made up without any fasteners like screws and bolts, which causes furniture susceptible to breaking down easily, not to mention extra care to these joint parts.

Even if it involves some joint parts, it’s more capable to withstand and adapt the damage caused during the building process, rather than other outdoor materials. Thus, a combination of both metal and other materials like teak is very popular in the market, as the variety of materials adds more colors and styles to the chair. Last but not least, metal furniture is more eco and environmentally friendly, since it is biodegradable and recyclable – making it a preferred option for most people.

The most popular and common metal outdoor dining chair is made up of either stainless steel or aluminum, and both have its own pros and cons:

Durability

Stainless steel dining chairs weigh heavier than aluminum one, as aluminum frame tends to have hollow tube frame, which is more susceptible to damage and dent, if not taken care of properly. The high-density feature of stainless steel makes it the best material for making large-scale outdoor furniture, or outdoor tough condition where the furniture gets used recklessly and frequently – it remains the shape without care.

Portability

As stainless steel is heavy, it is hard to move around alone; that’s why aluminum is popular since it’s lightweight and portable. However, this feature leads to another problem – wind. The stainless steel dining chair is solid and does not tip over and blow away during a windy environment, and it’s more suitable for outdoor windy conditions. Aluminum, nevertheless, is less preferable for this condition.

Design & Cost

Both metals are flexible to a certain degree, however, aluminum is more flexible and easy to work with complex and intricate designs, which has a more contemporary appearance than the other. Also, aluminum is relatively inexpensive, and stainless steel is more costly and less affordable.

Weather Resistance

Due to the natural composition, stainless steel and aluminum are extremely resistant to weather and  immune to rust and corrosion. However, if metal outdoor dining chair is placed by the costal areas like sea side, the salted air and water will cause trouble. Therefore, metal dining chair should be treated and painted to provide additional protection and longer lifespan. While you may paint your metal dining chair, the salted air will slowly eat away the paint and fade eventually. Powder-coated paint, is a popular paint can be found on some luxury aluminum dining chairs, adheres the furniture better that rust never occurs.

Heat

Stainless steel retains and absorbs the heat pretty quickly, and it can be very uncomfortable to touch. Treated aluminum like powder-coated paint, on the other hand, is less likely to retain heat, and it stays chill even after a long day of sun exposure.

In conclusion, not all metal outdoor dining chair is created equally, and you buy what you need based on the pros and cons listed above. If you would like to see more contemporary dining chairs made of powder-coated aluminum, you can check out the largest outdoor furniture store in Malaysia.

How To Take Care Of Your Garden Cushions (Top 3 Tips)

 

You have a beautiful and spacious garden, a green view and no annoying neighbors, surely you need to put some effort into decorating your garden for outdoor living. Either getting outdoor chairs or sofas, they are standard and necessary for you to thoroughly enjoy the outdoors. However, they aren’t complete until they pair with a couple of comfortable pillows or cushions. As we know, outdoor furniture, because of its top priority for fighting nature, typically is made up of weather-resistant materials like teak, aluminum, wicker, or stainless steel, and they are less comfortable than indoor furniture. Hence, adding some pillows or cushions to your seats are just as important.

 

Weather Resistant Pillow

 

But it does not end here – getting pillows and cushions is easy, but taking care of them can be tricky. If you do not take good care of them and leave them as they are, you can get ready to replace them with new sets very soon. Outdoor furniture is different from indoor furniture, as the former will be exposed to natural elements excessively like dust, direct sunlight, moisture, etc – they can bring down the quality of cushions, making them either color faded or torn down. Therefore, we are sharing the top 3 tips for you to extend the lifespan of your garden cushions, and before we get started, let’s assume you have a regular fabric cover for your cushions.

1. Avoid The Contact (As Much As Possible)

Whether you are leaving for a holiday for a long or short time if you know you are not getting to use your sofa, keep the cushions up. Keeping them away from natural elements helps maintain the quality and appearance, as less damage is caused to the cushions. If you have no place to store them, at least move them under shade or a roof, to avoid direct sunlight and rain.

 

Also, you can upholster your sofas or chairs with a piece of fabric or weather-resistant cover. This is usually preferred as not only does it keep the cushions in shape, but also your entire set of sofas or chairs.

 

The more water or moisture penetrates the cushions, the faster your cushions go bad. So to seal your cushions up from the water, you might consider getting some type of oil to provide a layer of protection to seal off the cushions.

2. Take Action Regularly

If you have pets at home, this is for you. Unfortunately, your pet is less likely to obey your order. Pet fur can be difficult to remove, but you have to do it right after you see it, or else it gets harder to remove. Do a regular check out of your cushions, and pay attention to every detail; it’s easy to get rid of small problems.

 

Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to eliminate the dirt and fur, or a soft duster to do some cleaning regularly. Spills and stains can happen, no matter how carefully you are, especially having a crazy party in your garden. Remove them as soon as possible with a damp cloth and mild detergent; the faster you take care of them, the easier it is to remove them. On the other hand, flipping around the cushions or pillows helps extend the lifespan too, as one side will not get exposed to direct sunlight all the time, and it can avoid dark and light patches on your cushions.

 

Most of the cushions come with removable covers, you can soak them in lukewarm mild detergent for removing odors once in a while. Remember no tumble dry, just lay them flat outside and wait till they are dry; it prevents wrinkles and heat damage it might cause.

3. Invest Right In the Beginning

This is probably the most important tip for your outdoor furniture cushions. If you are buying outdoor chairs and sofas, cushions made for outdoors should be your first choice, rather than regular cushions used indoors. Cushions specially made for outdoor use, like Sunbrella, their cover is made up of weather-resistant fabric, meaning rain or direct sunlight will have little to no impact on them – making them look as new for years. Also, even if it gets wet after heavy rain, the quick dry foam inside allows the cushions to dry up under the sun within one or two hours. It is, though, recommended to keep it up if it is going to rain.

 

These 3 tips mentioned above, even if they seem different, can be implemented at the same time, to extend your garden cushion’s lifespan. Get yourself outdoor sofas together with outdoor cushions, avoid contact with natural elements as much as possible, and lastly, clean them daily. Not sure where to buy outdoor cushions?

How To Clean Your Teak Furniture (Finished and Unfinished)

 

Teak is a popular choice for outdoor furniture, such as garden benches, patio chairs, or dining tables by the swimming pool. Teak-made furniture is made up of wood that is naturally resistant to weather like direct sunlight and moist, and it can typically last for years of use, without special care. So, the less you do to your teak furniture, the better it is.

However, unwanted mildew or stain can form on the surface, causing a dull appearance, if not taken care of properly. There are some steps you can take to keep your teak-made furniture away from the problems, and therefore extend its lifespan while maintaining its quality, just as it’s newly bought.

 

The first thing is to determine whether your teak-made furniture is finished or unfinished. An easy way is to place a few drops of water on the surface – If it beads, it has a varnish finish on the surface; if it absorbs and leaves a mark, it is unfinished.

For unfinished teak-made furniture, which is raw, chemical detergents are definitely out of your options. As it is unsealed and absorbs liquid, therefore it gets damaged or color faded more easily than finished furniture. Nevertheless, you should be cleaning with a feather duster or soft fabric regularly, to make sure it keeps in shape all the time; dirt can be hardened over time and it’s difficult to remove. Also, remember to keep the cleaning fabric dry, while wiping the surface.

 

While cleaning with dry fabric is the best option for unfinished teak furniture, disasters can happen sometimes – sauces or sticky food accidentally drops on the surface and leaves stains. Now, dry cleaning no longer works, and you will have to use a wet cloth to completely remove the stains. Adding a drop or two of natural dish soap, which can be found in many stores that sell organic stuff, and mixed into a bucket of lukewarm water, together with either sponge or soft cloth – you are ready for those tough stains. With the mild cleaner/detergent you just made, you can lower the possible damage to untreated teak furniture. While wiping off the stains, it is important to dry out the surface with a dry cloth as quickly as possible. Unfinished teak furniture is a raw piece of wood, it must be treated in the most natural ways, to keep its artistic and classic appearance.

 

By now you should be able to tell if your teak furniture is a varnish finish, based on the early experiment you conduct. Finished teak furniture is like wood coated with a layer of natural oil, for greater and stronger resistance to weather, such as sunlight & moisture. Still, mold and rot can happen if not taken care of properly. Cleaning treated teak furniture is much easier than untreated one since it’s more resilient and resistant in most cases. A piece of microfiber and h20 is all you need to clean your treated teak furniture regularly, and it is probably capable of removing most of the unwanted stains.

If water alone does not work, try a mild soap solution. Always remember to use soft fabric, as opposed to metal brushes; unless you will have starches on the surface – and we bet you don’t. For outdoor teak furniture, you can even rinse off the soap with garden soap. If water or mild soap doesn’t work, it’s time to move to the next alternative. Water mixed with either bleach or vinegar will do the job. You can DIY this ultimate cleaning solution by following either one of the recipes:

 

  • Mix 1 cup for both chlorine bleach and laundry detergent with 1 gallon of lukewarm water.

 

  • Mix 1 cup of vinegar with 1 gallon of lukewarm water.

Apply the mixture on the problem surface, leave it there for about 15 minutes, and rinse it off thoroughly with clean water. You then can either dry it off with a soft cloth or directly place it under the sun. However, cleaning with any chemical mixture will most likely remove the natural oil built on the surface, leaving the surface with a matte and dull finish; therefore, you will need to apply a new coat of natural oil, if you wish to retain the shiny appearance. All furniture is built and treated slightly different, if you wish to oil the furniture by yourself, it is recommended to consult with the person you got the furniture from or a teak furniture specialist – making sure you are applying the same type of teak oil as it was, since there are many oils available on the market.

Last but not least, always remove and clean off any sauce or sticky liquid as quickly as possible, as the longer it stays, the harder it is to remove. You can even place a piece of cloth under the plate for a teak made dining table, for preventing problems. Also, the cleaning process should always begin from the bottom, to avoid any streak marks from the dripping water on the unwashed surface, especially furniture with irregular shapes and designs.

How To Clean Sling Mesh Furniture (3 Ways)

 

Surely having cushions on your outdoor chairs or sofas will be comfortable, if you like to spend a good amount of time outside your house for some fresh air. However, some favor seating without cushions, as it is easier to take care and clean, in which case they will go for hard seating such as teak. Cushion cleaning is not hard though, and it can be done with minimal efforts, if you follow these 3 tips.

 

Upholstery Sling on our Gazelig Lounge Chair

 

But there is one more option where you can enjoy soft seating with minimal care (lesser than cushions) – that is Sling mesh furniture. Sling mesh, made in France (fancy enough), is the best alternative for soft seating. Owing to its unique structure, where thousands of fibers are bundled together for an exceptionally solid fibrous substance, giving it a strong bounce-back quality and memory feature – it is stretch resistant and it goes back to its original shape after it has been used, there are just so many reasons why you should need one.

 

In addition, rain and direct UV sunlight have little to no impact on Sling mesh outdoor furniture because of its open structure and PVC coating – it does not keep the water nor does it crack. Nevertheless, dirt or dust can stay and become a stain, if you do not take the initiative regularly; that is, even though it sounds like Sling mesh is indestructible (in most cases it is), there are some steps you can take to prolong its quality and appearance –

1.Feather Duster

As mentioned, if you take the initiative daily, you can minimize the work ultimately. An easy way to do that is by using a feather duster to clean off the dust and dirt, as much as possible. It is recommended to keep the duster nearby your chairs or sofas for quick and easily accessible; you will remember to do so too when you see the duster. 

2.Sling Spray

Some detergent sprays are dedicated to Sling cleaning. Simply apply and leave it for 1 – 2 minutes, brush it with a soft sponge, and lastly wash it all off with water and you should see a brand new-looking Sling mesh right in front of you. Be sure to thoroughly clean off with no residue remaining, as the chemical substance of the spray might have some impact if contacted for a long period.

3. Make your DIY Cleaning Spray

It is a simple version of the second tip if a dedicated sprayer is not available and you will rather do it yourself. Simply wash the mesh with a mild liquid detergent and fresh water, using a soft bristle brush. Rinse and dry with a cloth, and thanks to its non-absorption and quick-dry features, Sling mesh can be quickly dried off. Plus Sling mesh has an anti-fungal treatment where the moisture will not affect it.

 

Sling mesh should not be cleaned with aggressive commercial cleaners, such as sourcing agents and solvents, which are a big no as they can damage the weave of the fabric.

 

Sling mesh stacking chairs, last but not least, can be in contact for a long period of time, even during summer – they do not fuse together. As long as one follows the 3 tips above, Sling mesh can be clean and remain fresh-looking for many years.
