STAINLESS STEEL
What are the properties of
stainless steel?
We make our furniture using 316 “marine
grade” stainless steel, which will best
withstand the rigours of an outdoor
environment. We have added selected
products to our Mercury and Equinox
ranges that feature an attractive powder-
coat finish on the 316 stainless steel to
give the ultimate protection in the
harshest marine environment.
How can stainless steel furniture be
maintained?
You should undertake regular maintenance
using our care product to preserve the
fine appearance of your furniture.
Cleaning once or twice a year will be
adequate in most circumstances but we
recommend a more frequent cleaning
regime to in harsh environments,
including a salt or chlorine concentration
found in coastal areas or around a
swimming pool. Stainless steel furniture
used in a chlorinated indoor environment
will require frequent cleaning and we
therefore recommend that you use our
powder coated products.
We recommend that you regularly rinse
your furniture with fresh water to remove
condensed chlorinated moisture.
Conventional abrasive cleaners or strong
acidic cleaners should never be used on
stainless steel as this can damage the
finish. We recommend using Barlow Tyrie
Stainless Steel Clean & Guard to care for
and maintain your stainless steel furniture.
If you have any questions or concerns
about how the 316-grade stainless stell is
affected or best suited for your area or
pool environment, please contact our
Customer Services.
• Stainless Steel Clean and Guard
(4SSCG) - All stainless steel is
susceptible to brown surface marks,
which are cosmetic and do not damage
the product. Remove these marks by
regular cleaning with this care product,
which leaves a fine layer of Teflon® to
help prevent their appearance. Supplied
with its own special applicator pad.
ALUMINIUM
What are the properties
of aluminium?
Aluminium is a strong yet light material
that does not corrode or rust, which makes
it ideal for outdoor furniture that is easy
to move. The aluminium we use is ‘virgin
aluminium’, meaning it is not reclaimed
from scrap and is more robust and
longer-lasting. We pre-wash, etch prime
and electrostatically powder-coat our
aluminium furniture for optimum even
cover before oven baking to fix the finish.
This process prevents oxidation and gives
attractive, hard-wearing surface and the
possibility of various colour themes.
How can aluminium furniture
be maintained?
We recommend the following Barlow
Tyrie product to care for and maintain
your aluminium furniture.
• Powder Coated Stainless Steel &
Aluminium Cleaner (4AC) – easily
removes dirt, grease, oil, pollutants,
and mould.
FITTINGS & ACCESSORIES
Will the metal fittings on my
furniture last as long as the teak?
We only use the best marine quality solid
brass and stainless steel on our furniture.
With due care and attention, these
should last as long as the teak.
Do I need to use a base to locate a
parasol through a dining table?
Yes, all parasols must be located in the
recommended parasol base for safety.
We supply our standard parasol base
for using a parasol through a dining
table, or a free-standing base is available
for use without a table. Parasol plates
are available for use with the Equinox
and Bermuda pedestal tables.
Can we use any of your dining
chairs with any of your standard-
height tables?
Most of our dining chairs fit comfortably
under most of our standard-height dining
tables. However, there are exceptions, so
if you wish to ‘mix and match’, please
check the item specifications on our
website or discuss your requirements
with your stockist.
PLANNER TOOL
What help can you offer with
planning my furniture layout?
Our Barlow Tyrie online planner tool has
been designed to be intuitive and help
users quickly choose and design their
furniture layouts from our collections.
Users can define the shape and dimensions
of their outside area and then experiment
with the selection and arrangement of
furniture, choosing from available colour
and fabric options. Designs can be
viewed as two-dimensional plans or
three-dimensional renderings with the
ability to use a photograph of the user’s
space as the background. https://www.
