Aluminium

1. Powder-Coated Aluminium

Lightweight, non-rusting, and ideal for coastal or humid environments. Powder coating adds a protective, durable finish that resists scratching, chipping, and UV damage.

2. Ceramic

Ceramic tabletops are incredibly durable, UV-resistant, and non-porous—making them perfect for outdoor use. They resist staining, scratching, and heat, and won’t fade or warp under Brisbane’s intense sun.

3. Solution-Dyed Acrylic or Olefin Fabrics

Upholstery is just as important. Look for cushions made with UV-resistant, water-repellent fabrics that are designed to resist fading, mould, and mildew.

4. Quick-Dry Foam

Quick-dry foam is engineered with an open-cell structure that allows water to drain rapidly and air to circulate freely, helping cushions dry faster after rain and preventing mould and mildew build-up. Ideal for Brisbane’s unpredictable showers and humid conditions.

5. All-Weather Wicker (Resin Wicker)

Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this synthetic weave is UV-stable, colour-fast, and designed to replicate the look of traditional rattan without the fragility.

6. Resin

Durable, lightweight, and fade-resistant, resin furniture is perfect for Brisbane’s sunny climate. It’s easy to clean, resistant to cracking, and available in a wide range of styles and colours—making it both practical and stylish for outdoor use.

7. Sintered Stone

Made from natural minerals compressed under extreme heat, sintered stone is one of the most durable surfaces for outdoor tables. It’s UV-stable, scratch-resistant, heatproof, and completely non-porous—offering a sleek, high-end look with virtually no maintenance.
