What makes emu metal different than other metal furniture?
emu uses first quality materials in the manufacturing process. In addition our e-coating facility provides superior treatment of steel frames. E-coating is our primer, applied as a dip process, which ensures anti-rust protection and excellent adherence of the powder coat finish. The powder coat colors are exclusive mixes which are designed and tested for durability and longevity in most environments. It is made to be outdoors.
How can the furniture be maintained and cared for to prolong the life of the product?
As with any equipment, periodic maintenance is necessary to ensure longevity of the product and customer satisfaction. We recommend that the products be examined every 30 days.
NOTE: warranty may be voided if proper maintenance is not followed.
To prevent the product from becoming unstable, loose hardware should be tightened as required and missing or worn out foot caps must be replaced. Items requiring adjustment or showing any sign of structural failure should be taken out of service immediately until the required adjustments are completed.
Metal frame items should be cleaned with warm water and non-abrasive cleaner using a cloth or soft bristle brush; NO power washing. Product near salt water should be washed daily in order to avoid salt deposits which will eventually corrode the product.
Aluminum is very susceptible to attack by strong acids and alkalis used in some cleaning products, and contact with salt. It is critical to keep the salt off the product. Aluminum products should be cleaned with lukewarm water and a non-abrasive cleaner such as dish soap applied using a soft cloth for most common dirt and stains. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner, scouring pad, and NO power washing. For stubborn and sticky stains a soft bristle brush can be used along with the water and non-abrasive cleaner. Cleaning solution is recommended at a ΒΌ cup (2oz) of dish soap in one gallon of lukewarm water. After cleaning, rinse product thoroughly. Every month, due to proximity of product in a salt environment, after cleaning, we recommend the product to be protected with a high quality paste wax or a wipe on product. Be certain to follow directions on the product label.
Teak is a natural product, it will stain and absorb any oils, and it will gray over time; to maintain its original color, it should be treated as necessary with teak cleaner, followed by a teak varnish. Be certain to follow directions on the product label.
For storage, all furniture should be stored neatly, stacked to suggested height and packed in a clean and dry area. Tables should not be stacked. Stacked chairs should not be dragged, and when being unstacked they should not be slammed or dropped to the ground. People should not rock backwards or stand on any emuamericas' items.
What is the warranty on your products?
emuamericas, llc offers a three (3) year limited warranty, for full details please click here.
The products must be used, maintained and stored under normal commercial use. The warranty is only valid if all parts that wear, such as foot caps, get replaced minimally annually.
