Teak

TEAK
We select only the finest premium FSC Grade A Plantation Teak. The golden colour and grain of the natural hardwood varies. After about 3 months of outdoor exposure to moisture and sunlight, the new wood begins to mature naturally and take on a beautiful and distinctive silver-grey patina.

Teak is naturally hard-wearing and long lasting; as Teak has the highest natural oil content of all hardwoods.

Do not be alarmed if small cracks appear in the end-grain of timbers as they are perfectly natural, and you need not worry - as the moisture in the atmosphere rises the timber will return to normal. You may also see white patterns appear on the teak - these are simply calcium deposits and are an intrinsic element of Teak - they do not affect the durability, performance or life expectancy of the item.

Stainless Steel

Aluminium Outdoor Furniture

ALUMINIUM
High grade Aluminium is preferred by our designers for its strength, its low weight and its resistance to corrosion. Many of our Aluminium ranges have a polyester powder paint finish applied statically and embedded by a baking action. The advantages of this procedure are the endless possibilities in the variety of colour and the protection to the metal furniture.

Upholstered Material

UPHOLSTERED MATERIAL
The Latitude Collection is upholstered with high-performance outdoor fabrics and have the feel of a luxury indoor sofa. The innovative material is woven from marine strength solution-dyed synthetic fibres, specially designed for use outdoors. Natural to the touch, UV fade resistant and treated to be water, soil and stain repellent.

All-Weather Rope

ALL-WEATHER ROPE
All-Weather Rope combines texture with technology. The Rope is an innovative blend of two synthetic components resulting in a unique fibre with substantial practical strength. Indian Ocean Rope is water-repellent, chlorine, salt and UV resistant and ultimately recyclable. The Rope is an excellent choice for marine or poolside locations and is inherently resistant to dirt and stains.

All-Weather Weave

ALL-WEATHER WEAVE
Our extensive All-Weather Weave designs are constructed from premium quality highly-technical man-made materials which allow them to remain outdoors all year round. The material is soft to the touch, tear resistant, quick drying, UV, salt and chlorine resistant making it an excellent choice for marine or pool locations. The weave is extremely durable and ultimately recyclable too.

All-Weather weave furniture will soften in exceptionally high temperatures and become rigid in particularly cold temperatures. There is no cause for concern as the weave will return to normal when returned to an ambient temperature.

BATYLINE®

BATYLINE
For the seats and backs of our chairs and luxury sun loungers, we use Ferrari Batyline® or Sunbrella Sling fabric. The polyester fibre is PVC coated and then woven. The fibres are then melted together in order to create an exceptionally strong, stretch and tear resistant fabric. 

Apart from its exceptional mechanical strength, it has a high chemical resistance. The synthetic coating guarantees resistance to extremely high weather and UV rays. The fact that there is no moisture absorption results in rapid drying with maximum stain and mould resistance.

Glass and Ceramic Outdoor Furniture

GLASS
All Indian Ocean glass for outdoor tables is tempered, meaning it is toughened and would shatter if broken rather than break into shards. Ceramic & Glass are naturally resistant to staining making them highly suitable materials for use outdoors.

HPL (High Pressure Laminate) Maintenance

HPL (HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE)
HPL is created by pressing together resins under high pressure and heat, this creates a material which impact resistant and durable. As this is a completely synthetic product it is also completely water resistant, making it ideal for use in outdoor furniture.

PARASOL FABRIC
Our luxury garden Parasol fabric is made from marine strength acrylic that is UV & mildew resistant. In addition, the fabric is Teflon treated to provide water and light soiling protection.

Outdoor Furniture Cushions

CUSHIONS
