Brass, Cast Steel & Zinc
Brass, Cast Steel & Zinc
These materials are designed to develop a natural patina over time when exposed to the elements, which is often considered a desirable aesthetic enhancement and a form of protection. Proactive acceptance of this aging is key.
Maintenance Brass & Zinc:
Clean gently with water and mild soap to remove dirt and debris that can trap moisture and accelerate unwanted corrosion.
Avoid abrasive products or scourers that can scratch the surface and strip away the developing or existing patina.
Maintenance Cast Steel:
No specific maintenance is required to encourage the rust development; this is an intended part of the aesthetic.
Do not use abrasive products or scourers, as these would interfere with the natural rust layer.
Be aware that rust runoff from cast steel will stain underlying or adjacent surfaces (patios, decks, other furniture materials). Take proactive precautions such as using protective mats or carefully considering placement to avoid permanent staining.
Important Notes:
Embrace the natural patina development as part of the material's character and protective process.
Protect surrounding surfaces from potential rust stains from cast steel runoff.
