Aluminium Furniture For New Zealand Outdoor Living
Aluminium is a core material across our outdoor furniture collections, valued for its strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for New Zealand’s varied climate. At Design Warehouse, aluminium is used across a wide range of outdoor furniture, including sun loungers, modular lounge seating, dining chairs, coffee tables, side tables, and umbrella structures.
Designed For Outdoor Conditions
Aluminium performs exceptionally well outdoors, resisting rust and deterioration even in coastal or high-exposure environments. Its durability and low maintenance requirements make it a reliable choice for year-round outdoor use, whether in residential gardens, terraces, or commercial settings.
Anodised Aluminium Finishes
Some aluminium components are treated through anodising, an electrochemical process that strengthens the natural oxide layer on the metal’s surface. This improves resistance to corrosion and wear while creating a refined, long-lasting finish that does not peel or flake. Anodised aluminium can also be coloured without compromising performance.
Powder-Coated Aluminium Construction
Many aluminium furniture pieces are finished using powder coating, where a protective coating is applied and heat-cured to form a durable surface. Powder-coated aluminium offers excellent resistance to scratching, chipping, fading, and everyday wear, making it particularly well suited to outdoor furniture that is regularly used and repositioned.
Lightweight And Practical
Compared with steel or wrought iron, aluminium is significantly lighter while remaining structurally strong. This makes aluminium furniture easier to move and adapt, whether reconfiguring modular seating, adjusting sun loungers, or rearranging outdoor dining areas as needed.
Flexible Colour Options
Powder coating allows aluminium furniture to be finished in a wide range of colours, supporting different outdoor styles and architectural settings. From neutral tones to darker contemporary finishes, colour is integrated into the coating itself, helping maintain a consistent appearance over time with minimal fading.
A Versatile Material Across Our Outdoor Collections
From relaxed outdoor lounge chairs and modular seating to functional coffee tables and sun loungers, aluminium provides a strong, adaptable foundation across many of our designs. Its balance of durability, visual flexibility, and ease of care makes it a practical and considered choice for outdoor living in New Zealand.
