When compared to wood patio furniture, which requires sanding and refinishing, or to expensive wrought iron that will rust, aluminum patio furniture out weighs these others. Cleaning and maintenance with aluminum patio furniture on the other hand is easy and inexpensive!
Aluminum is a lightweight and easily molded metal that will not rust. It was first used to construct outdoor furniture in the early 1960's, when it was made from extruded, hollow-core tubing. This is the construction method we still use today, primarily for pool area furniture and lawn chairs. These pieces are very lightweight which allows for easy portability, stacking and function.
Here at A&K Enterprise we manufacture the highest quality of aluminum furniture pieces from raw aluminum tubing which is then cut, bent to the desired shape and welded with heli-ach welding method. The frames are then sandblasted to remove any impurities on the surface of the metal and to roughen up the surface so the paint will adhere better. From there the frames are sprayed with a powder-coated finish. This process of powder coating entails applying colored polyester powders, then baking these powders into the aluminum frame at 400 degrees. This process will determine the final color of the frame and adds extensive durability to each piece.
