Aluminum Construction: Frontgate uses 100% ingot aluminum, a premium-quality aluminum. The use of very high quality raw aluminum makes our outdoor furniture much stronger and longer lasting, compared to lesser-quality aluminum that becomes brittle over time. Some of our furniture is fully casted, while others use both casted and extruded aluminum parts. The heavier gauge of our aluminum walls (on the extruded parts) also makes Frontgate aluminum furniture a superior quality. On the fully casted pieces, these elements are solid aluminum; the casting also provides great detail, dimension and design. The welds of our furniture use male and female parts, creating a very strong connection.
Aluminum Care: Simply use mild soap and lukewarm water to clean your aluminum furniture. This should be done periodically. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If you live in seaside climates or have a saltwater pool, regular (weekly) cleaning with mild soap and water will greatly help remove the concentrated salt deposits that can lead to finish failure. A fine, clear automobile wax can also be applied for maximum protection against harmful ultraviolet exposure and salt air. We recommend using furniture covers or storing your aluminum furniture indoors when not in use.
Wicker Construction: Frontgate outdoor wicker furniture is handwoven from a grade of resin that has achieved a high performance grade. Our 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin has many attributes: it's non-toxic and safe for the environment. It's also antimicrobial, a quality that prohibits the growth of fungus and mildew. The wicker won't splinter or rot in extreme temperatures (-94°F to 176°F), making our furniture an excellent choice for almost any climate.
Wicker Care: To extend the life of your wicker furniture, avoid direct contact with chlorine and saltwater. If your wicker furniture is placed near the ocean or a saltwater pool, we recommend rinsing weekly with water from your garden hose. Avoid close proximity to open flame and artificial heat sources. We recommend using furniture covers or storing your wicker furniture indoors when not in use.
