Once your aluminum or wrought iron furniture has been exposed to the elements for a number of years, it may be time to consider having your furniture refinished. Re-finishing will turn your worn-out furniture back to a like-new condition and can be done for about half of the delivered cost of buying new. This is especially true if high quality outdoor furniture was purchased originally and an investment needs to be protected.

If the furniture's powder coating is still of good integrity and if a major color change is not desired, the furniture can be thoroughly sanded and then re-coated. If the coating is flaking, peeling, spotted (due to salt air), or if it is a liquid-based coat, the furniture must be sand blasted prior to Re-finishing. Sand blasting removes metal from the frame and can only be done about three times before the metal becomes too thin and the tubing would need to be replaced.

Once re-coated with a powder finish, in which particles of polyester powder are electro-statically charged and applied to the aluminum frame, the frame is then baked in a powder coat oven at 400 degrees in order to cure the finish. This ensures that any moisture or gas present in the old finish is removed from the frame. The frame can then be double baked, if necessary. The result is a fresh powder coat, which is far superior to solvent-based paint finishes. The powder coating provides for excellent durability, UV stability, corrosion resistance, and the beauty of a new car finish.
