Lightweight, strong and non-corrosive, aluminium is a popular choice in outdoor furniture design. It gets its colour from a coating of a fluidized powder paint, applied using electrostatic spray for a scratch-resistant finish. Clean it regularly with water and dish soap, then rinse and wipe dry with a microfibre cloth. Avoid the accumulation of rainwater on the surface.

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.

Teak is a prized wood in outdoor furniture production due to its high resistance to bad weather and natural oil content that protects against bacteria and decay. At Gloster, it is produced in an eco-responsible way. Like a fine wine, teak grows in quality over time, which is why Gloster ensures every teak tree it uses has a lifecycle of at least 50 years. Left outside, raw teak furniture will naturally turn from orange-brown to a pale-grey tone. To maintain or restore its original colour, be sure to apply a sealant or oil specially designed for teak as soon as the wood begins to fade. Regular cleaning with water and mild soap is also recommended to remove any dirt.
