Exterior and Outdoor Furniture


Wrought Iron Garden Furniture

Most irons are susceptible to external weather and can be damaged if you put them in your garden or yard. To protect them from damage it is better to cover them when not in use or to store the dry and dark place. Regular cleaning and processing of parts painted with liquid wax can extend the life of aluminum and iron garden furniture.Subject to external influence, painted iron surfaces can be oxidized with time. Fade paint can be refreshed by using a cleaning agent for automotive paints and liquid wax. Surfaces that are already too much oxidised, can be treated with a special product to remove oxidation (eg quality of polishing compound for cars). Avoid the use of abrasive mixtures, even if iron garden furniture are very fine, because their particles can leave small scratches on the paint. It is best to bet on the regular renewal of the protective layer of wax on the exposed areas.
