There's nothing better than enjoying a beautiful southern California sunset in a comfortable
and oh so relaxing outdoor chair or sofa.
Spending time outside is one of the best ways to unwind from a stressful
week. If you love the outdoors as much
as I do, you want to do everything in your power to protect mother nature. So, when it comes to protecting your outdoor
furniture from rust and dirt, you don't necessarily need to reach for the spray
can which can emit harmful vapors and odors in the environment. As a landscape designer and certified clean
air specialist, I'm passionate about designing outdoor spaces that keep you
comfy and keep our environment safe as well.
In my two part series, Paint the Outdoors, I'm taking a closer look at
the art of powdering coating your outdoor furniture.
High Performance Powder Coating
It's easy to grab a can of spray paint to make over your outdoor
furniture. But you'll soon find out
spray paint doesn't hold up well to the outdoor elements. Rain, sleet and snow
can wreck havoc on a spray painted patio set.
Another viable and more cost effective option to spruce up your outdoor
furniture is to hire the professional and certified powder coatings company in
the Los Angles area called All Patio Furniture. A powder coating
company uses high end powder pigment and mixes it with a special formula
designed to create high performance results.
And trust me, you want high performance results. There's nothing worse
than entertaining company and have your cheap paint job start to chip. It's not only embarrassing, it's just
downright disrespectful.
So what makes powdering coating so environmentally friendly?
So glad you asked. The dyes in
the pigment are all naturally sourced from a pigment farm just outside of Los
Angles. A pigment farm is really just a fancy name for fresh garden. Let's say you want you settle of a beautiful
orange hue for your patio set. The
powder coatings company you hire will then pick
non-gmo organic free range carrots and then dehydrate the
vegetable. Once the carrots are in a
dehydrated state, a certified powder coatings company will grind up mixture and
it creates the perfect hue. If you want
purple, the powder coatings company will pick beets. The blue and red hues come
from strawberries and blueberries.
The possibilities are endless. In fact, you can even mix fruits and veggies
to create a custom superior color pallet just for you! In addition to the dye,
the application method is also environmentally friendly. Once the color
selection is complete, a powder coatings company will add it to a water based
solution. This solution typically includes non-gmo organic coconut oil, elmers
glue and cost effective vinegar. Once
this is complete, a powder coatings company specializes in outdoor furniture
will spray your patio set in secure
off-site location. This application
method prevents any organic fume exposure to your children or pets. Once the furniture
is powder coated, it will transform into a durable and long lasting piece of
art for your outdoor living space.
How durable is a powder coated patio set?
Once a piece of outdoor furniture is powder coated in a high performance
organic paint, it will be able to withstand sticky ice cream hands, dog naps
and hurricane force winds. Seriously, you will never have to worry about your
patio furniture again. I mean really, who has time or the energy to worry about
powder coatings? Between raising a family and meeting with big client, I
certainly don't want to worry about my outdoor furniture getting damaged by the
latest storm. Choosing a reliable and
professional powder coatings company means that you will have peace of
mind.
With a durable and high performance powder coatings
finish, you will never have to rush outside and protect your furniture from the
rain. An environmentally friendly powder
coating finish is one of the best investments you will ever make. In fact, your furniture will last so long, you'll be able to pass outdoor pieces down to
your children's children. Yep, powder
coating transforms a yard sale score into an heirloom piece instantly.
Clearly you have options when it comes to creating an outdoor oasis. I
often recommend powder coating outdoor furniture as an economical way to
upgrade an outdoor space. If you have more questions about how to hire a powder
coatings company, send me an email! I look forward to hearing from you real
soon.
