Materials and treatment for outside

For its furniture, Fermob has chosen to use metal, the "ideas material", as Gustave Eiffel called it, won over by the many ways of using it. The metals used are top-grade steel or aluminium. Innovations developed by the car industry mean that today they can be used in all weathers. Fermob furniture is either exclusively made of metal or used in combination with tear-proof Outdoor Technical Fabric, PVC-coated polyester or rot-proof wood.
Fermob furniture undergoes several stages of rust-proofing followed by two paint stages: a Fermob-exclusive process in one of the most efficient plants in Europe. Two treatments are proposed: a High Protection Index 13 treatment in 13 stages and a Very High Protection Index 22, or cataphoresis for use in very humid or saline climates.
The paint is a DuPont® powder, 100% polyester, anti-UV, deposited electrostatically on the furniture for optimal coverage, then baked at 193°, just like in the car industry.
