Incorporating corrosion resistant aluminium eliminates the need for protective coatings to prevent metal decay. This in turn allows various unpainted alternatives to be encouraged, highlighting the considerable long-term cost benefits in eliminating the need to make good scratched or degraded paintwork. Where painted finishes are appropiate (e.g. conforming to a colour theme or corporate image), colour selection is almost limitless with the use of Dulux Duralloy high durability powder coat and Protec high gloss two-pack polyurethane enamel industrial coatings, both offering excellent durability and resistance to abrasion. All extruded aluminium seat planking is anodised to 25-microns in a clear-coat finish. Anodic coatings, through an electrolytic process, form an attractive, durable oxide layer integral to the surface of the metal, further adding to the protection provided by its natural corrosion resistance. Colour options are available, though selection is limited. Please talk to our sales staff for more information.

Timber is generally supplied with an oil stain finish, but can be left untreated in order to allow natural weathering. For customers requiring painted finishes, colour selection is almost limitless with the use of Dulux Weathershield gloss acrylic and Protec two-pack polyurethane enamel coatings offering excellent durability and resistance to abrasion. For Dulux WEATHERSHIELD colour options go to www.dulux.com.au and follow the links to 'colour inspiration' and 'colour cards'.

The issue needs to be addressed prior to installation in exposed situations over sensitive pavement. It is recommended that units be treated by being turned upside down (to minimise staining on the frames) and left for at least eight hours exposure to sprinkling or rainfall.
