Steel - A Material of Quiet Confidence

Steel has become an increasingly prominent feature in contemporary outdoor design, valued for its strength, stability, and understated aesthetic. At Cotswold Furniture, we use powder-coated steel primarily for structural elements (such as frames and legs) where its clean lines and robust performance come to the fore.

Each outdoor piece is treated with a durable epoxy and powder-coated finish, creating a resilient barrier against the elements and ensuring long-lasting appeal with minimal upkeep.

Maintenance Tips

Routine Cleaning

Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and surface debris.

For more stubborn marks, use a mild solution of natural soap and warm water with a soft sponge.

Avoid abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or high-pressure washers, which may damage the coating.

Protection and Longevity

The powder-coated finish is designed to withstand varied weather conditions. However, we recommend preventing the build-up of standing water, wet leaves, or abrasive grit, which can accelerate wear over time.

Should the coating become chipped or scratched, it’s best to treat the area promptly with a suitable touch-up product to protect the underlying metal from corrosion.

Seasonal Storage

For added longevity, store steel-framed furniture under cover during the winter months, or use breathable protective covers to shield it from prolonged exposure to rain and frost.
