Maintaining Cast Aluminum

The quality aluminum furniture pieces you have purchased were finished with an electrostatically applied powdered paint that forms a durable long-lasting bond with the metal.

We recommend the following maintenance of your aluminum frames: Apply a coat of spray car wax to non-textured frames annually. Spray the wax on a rag, wipe onto the frame, move on to the next frame, and then go back and buff/wipe the first frame. Do not get wax on vinyl strapping or on fabric. New furniture should be waxed as soon as is convenient, and then once a year thereafter. The wax retards the effects of acid rain and pollution, helping maintain the original luster. In Fall, clean frames with warm, soapy water (Spic-N-Span Pine Cleaner works well) and re-wax non-textured frames if they will be stored outdoors.

Your aluminum frames are designed to withstand the rigors of winter, either covered or not. We recommend that glass-topped dining tables be moved to the most protected area available. Use a covered cinderblock to weigh the table down if the area is open, unprotected and windy. We recommend use of covers  for winter storage outdoors.
