While ceramic is often considered fragile, this material is anything but! Composed of sand, clay and natural stone, ceramic tops are distinguished by their resistance to high temperatures, chemicals, scratches and wear. Waterproof and hygienic on account of its low porosity, ceramic is perfectly suited to outdoor use. To keep it clean, simply wash with a damp cloth, lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding the use of steel wool and other abrasive products.

Stainless steel is distinguished by high resistance and durability. Its weightiness also makes it an ideal choice for furniture that needs to hold its ground in windy conditions. However, it can tarnish in the form of rust chips. To prevent that from happening, be sure to clean it regularly with water and mild soap before drying with a microfibre cloth. Once or twice a season, you can apply a protective product designed for stainless steel. Avoid placing it near a saltwater swimming pool.
