Benefits of Thermoplastic Coated Aluminum Commercial Picnic Tables

Commercial grade outdoor picnic tables need to be both attractive and durable. Their design needs to withstand both the elements of weather as well as continuous, and sometimes heavy, use. Additionally, a commercial picnic table needs to be attractive in the environment. Thermoplastic coated aluminum picnic tables can accomplish these requirements and more.

A thermoplastic coated aluminum picnic table is both durable and attractive. The aluminum frame gives the picnic table a sturdy structure while maintaining a lighter weight. Aluminum is strong and resistant to rain, snow, sunlight, and extremes of temperature all conditions most outdoor picnic tables will encounter. Aluminum is also a material that is easy to manufacture in a variety of methods, giving opportunity to have a commercial picnic table made in a semi-custom design.

The thermoplastic coating is what gives the picnic table an additional layer of protection and beauty. Thermoplastic is a polymer and when heated, turns to a liquid. The cooling process actually freezes it into a glassy state. The frozen state is what gives the thermoplastic coating a shiny finish. Additionally, the thermoplastic is available in many colors, adding to the appeal of customizing the picnic tables. Thermoplastic coating provides additional benefits. Because of the excellent adhesion rates, thermoplastic coating adheres to the aluminum frame of the picnic table extremely well. This gives the frame additional protection not available in other coating methods, such as painting. You can also have assurance that the picnic table is protected in the areas that are hard to reach, such as joints or undersides and corners.

Because picnic tables often get abuse from climbing kids and spilled food, damage can occur to the thermoplastic coating. However, most damage is easily repaired. Cuts or gashes can be melted back together with a heat gun. Spray paint will not adhere permanently to the thermoplastic coating, and can be easily removed using a water-displacing spray that is commonly found in any local variety, discount, or hardware store.

Picnic tables are a great way for people to enjoy the outdoors whether they are at the park or at the office. Choosing a thermoplastic coated aluminum picnic table ensures that it will last a number of years and through a variety of situations. What is even better, this durable picnic table can be ordered in a variety of colors and styles to create a custom look for everyone to enjoy.
