Alot of times, these chairs are referred to as plastic patio chairs, plastic pool chairs, resin chairs or even plastic beach chairs, and sometimes even plastic lawn chairs.

With the many resin patio chairs and chaise lounges on the market these days, we feel that everyone should be aware of what the differences are. Although every one is looking for a cheap plastic patio chair or those cheap plastic patio chaise lounges, you must be careful that you do not get a cheap plastic chair for any commercial or hospitality installation. You can typically find your cheap chairs at Target, Home Depot, Lowes, Biz chairs, Sears or any hardware or retail store that you may find in your area. You can only get your commercial outdoor furniture from a commercial outdoor furniture distributor. These lines of outdoor furniture are specifically made by outdoor furniture manufacturers and are specifically designed for commercial and hospitality use.
The difference in a Residential Resin Chair and Contract Resin Chair is the amount of Polypropylene or Polyvinyl Chloride in the mixture of the plastic.
You might ask what is this Polypropylene or Polyvinyl Chloride? It gives the plastic its strength and durability. It helps resist stains and chemicals and it also help resist heat.
High Polypropylene and Polyvinyl Mixture Lower Polypropylene and Polyvinyl Mixture
Naturally Worn Chair After Outside Use Sun Damaged Chair After Outside Use
Not to mention that there are also more Ultra-violet light stabilizers (UV) in this plastic mixture. Have you ever seen a chair chalk up in the sun and loose it s color? This is the typical result of Sun fading and the chair not having a strong enough mixture of polypropylene or polyvinyl in the plastic. They were not durable enough to withstand the constant heat of the sun and are therefore fading away. This will not happen to our Commercial outdoor furniture because it is tested for commercial use and has a stronger mixture of polypropylene and polyvinyl.

One of the biggest differences is the RELIABILITY of the chairs. All of our resin chairs are tested and pass the ASTM Performance Standards. (ASTM) (Tested to hold a static load of 400 lbs.) Our chairs carry a manufacturers commercial warranty to protect our clientele form everyday law suites. Although these chairs are designed for commercial use, they are not designed for constant hustle and bustle. Our suggestion is to NOT put a residential resin Chair in a Hotel, Motel, Time share resort, Hospital facility, restaurant, Café, Apartment complexes, resort or and place the public will be inhabiting. This will prevent premature wear and tear, and breakage of the chairs. |
