Materials

When you sit on a garden chair or sofa, the support provided by the cushion is not determined by its thickness alone. The density of the foam used inside the cushion also affects how it performs during use. 32 DNS foam, found in various Terazzi outdoor furniture models, refers to a filling material with a density of approximately 32 kg/m³.

It is important not to confuse the DNS value with firmness. A 32 DNS rating does not directly indicate how firm or soft the foam is. Two cushions with the same density may feel different depending on their thickness and the seating structure of the furniture in which they are used. Therefore, when comparing products, it is more useful to consider the DNS value together with cushion dimensions, seat depth, and backrest design.

Advantages of 32 DNS Foam

For garden furniture used intensively during the summer months, the ability of cushions to maintain their shape and provide consistent support is closely related to foam density.

32 DNS foam is suitable for many different designs in the Terazzi collection. It is used in cushions of various sizes, ranging from dining chairs and deep-seated sofas to compact garden sets and selected sun loungers.

Technical Specifications of 32 DNS Foam

Use and Care of 32 DNS Cushions

One of the most important factors to consider with outdoor cushions is moisture. If a cushion gets wet from rain, it should not be left in an enclosed, poorly ventilated environment for an extended period. Instead, it should be placed somewhere with sufficient airflow to dry properly. When the cushions will not be used for an extended period, storing them clean and dry is also beneficial for their maintenance.

In Terazzi products, foam and cushion fabric are considered two separate characteristics. Many models featuring 32 DNS foam also use water-repellent and stain-resistant outer fabrics. This water-repellent property comes from the structure of the fabric itself, not from the DNS rating of the foam.

Which Terazzi Products Use 32 DNS Foam?

Rather than being limited to a single design style, 32 DNS cushions can be found across a wide range of furniture in the Terazzi collection.

For example, the Zeus Wood Garden Sofa Set, distinguished by its Iroko wood construction, and the Rodos Rattan Garden Sofa Set, featuring Wintech Rattan weaving, both use 32 DNS cushions despite having very different frame structures. These two examples alone demonstrate that foam density is a feature independent of the furniture’s exterior design.

For larger spaces where corner seating is preferred, the Venedik Garden Corner Set is one of the models that uses the same foam density. The use of 32 DNS foam also extends to dining sets. The Marina Garden Dining Set, designed with an aluminum frame and Luxio-Cord details, features 32 DNS cushions on its chairs.

Similar examples can be found among compact sets designed for smaller balconies and terraces. The Efes Mini Garden Sofa Set, despite its more compact dimensions, is among the models that use the same foam density. Among relaxation furniture, the Artemis Plus Sun Lounger is an example of how 32 DNS cushioning is also used in sun loungers.

When choosing a product, rather than focusing solely on whether it features 32 DNS foam, it is more useful to consider the cushion dimensions, seat height, frame material, and intended area of use together. Different seating configurations can be explored within the Garden Seating Group collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About 32 DNS Foam

What does 32 DNS foam mean?

32 DNS means that the foam has a density of approximately 32 kg/m³. This value provides information about the density of the foam.

Is 32 DNS foam firm?

The DNS value does not directly indicate firmness. How a cushion feels may vary depending on the foam structure, its thickness, and the seating design of the furniture.

Cushion thickness, seat depth, backrest angle, fabric characteristics, and the overall dimensions of the furniture should all be considered together. Model-specific technical details can be found on Terazzi product pages.

In Terazzi products, rope is used as a visible design element in many models. Featured in different weaving patterns across armrests, backrests, and chair surfaces, Luxio Cord outdoor rope is one of the key materials in this design language thanks to its properties suitable for outdoor conditions. Specially manufactured for Terazzi, Luxio Cord is used across different products featuring aluminum and Iroko wood.

Features of Luxio Cord Outdoor Rope

Rope used in garden furniture needs to withstand sunlight, moisture, and everyday outdoor use. Luxio Cord’s resistance to water and UV rays is one of the main reasons it is preferred for outdoor furniture. Its washable structure also makes it easier to remove dust and surface dirt that may accumulate between the weaves over time.

Its soft texture helps create a lighter and more natural woven appearance on furniture. High tensile strength supports the use of the rope in tightly woven applications across armrests, backrests, and chair surfaces. Its resistance to fading and staining also helps preserve its appearance during outdoor use.

Luxio Cord is not used in the same way on every model. In some products, the weave is a prominent part of the overall design, while in others it appears as a more subtle detail complementing a wooden or aluminum frame.

Luxio Cord Technical Specifications

How to Clean Luxio Cord

Dust and environmental dirt may accumulate between the ropes of woven surfaces over time. Luxio Cord’s washable structure makes regular cleaning easier.

During cleaning, harsh methods that could put unnecessary strain on the weave should be avoided. After cleaning, the rope should be allowed to dry completely. If the furniture also includes materials such as wood, metal, or cushions, the specific maintenance requirements of these components should be considered separately.

Aluminum furniture is frequently preferred for gardens and terraces due to its lightweight frame structure, resistance to moisture, and metal profiles that can be adapted to different designs. Using aluminum in the load-bearing frame helps keep the overall structure lightweight while providing resistance to moisture in outdoor environments. In Terazzi collections, this material is used in garden sofa sets, corner sets, compact balcony furniture, and sun loungers. Electrostatic powder coating applied to metal surfaces and rounded edge details also vary according to the design and intended use of each product.

Key Features of Aluminum Furniture

The thin oxide layer that naturally forms on aluminum surfaces creates a protective barrier that slows the progression of corrosion. This property makes aluminum suitable for garden and terrace furniture exposed to rain and moisture.

Key features include:

• Natural resistance to rust formation
• Lightweight frame structure
• Resistance to rain and moisture
• Suitable for use as a load-bearing material in furniture frames
• Easy-to-clean surface

In Terazzi furniture, sharp edges on metal components are rounded and corner sections are shaped to create a smoother finish in areas that may come into direct contact with the user.

Technical and Practical Features of Aluminum Furniture

The frame material alone does not determine the total weight of a product. Tabletops, cushions, wooden details, or woven surfaces may affect the overall weight depending on the model. Therefore, two aluminum garden furniture pieces of similar dimensions may not necessarily have the same weight.

How to Maintain Aluminum Surfaces

Instead of pressing and wiping dust from painted metal surfaces with a dry cloth, it is better to lightly dampen the surface first. Dust can be removed more easily from a slightly damp surface, reducing friction against the coating.

For everyday cleaning, a soft, damp cloth can be used. For heavier dirt, pH-neutral cleaning products may be preferred. Hard sponges, abrasive cleaning products, and strong solvents may dull or damage electrostatic powder-coated surfaces.

After cleaning, water should not be left standing for extended periods, particularly around joints and connection points. For models featuring cushions, wood, or woven rope materials, each component should be maintained according to its specific care instructions.

Use of Aluminum in Terazzi Products

Aluminum is used in the frames and structural components of different types of furniture across Terazzi collections:

1. The Argos Garden Seating Group features an electrostatic powder-coated aluminum frame.
2. Designed for spaces where corner seating is preferred, the Lyon Garden Corner Set also features an electrostatic powder-coated metal frame.
3. The Atlas Midi Garden Seating Group features an electrostatic powder-coated aluminum frame. Its more compact dimensions make it easier to position on balconies and smaller terraces.
4. The load-bearing frame of the Gala Sunbed with arms is also made from electrostatic powder-coated aluminum.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminum Furniture

Does aluminum furniture rust?

Aluminum is naturally resistant to the type of rust formation commonly associated with iron-based metals. The oxide layer that forms on its surface helps limit the progression of corrosion.

Can aluminum furniture be used in the rain?

Aluminum frames are resistant to rain and moisture. However, if the furniture includes other materials such as cushions, wood, or woven components, their individual care and storage requirements should also be considered.

How should painted aluminum surfaces be cleaned?

For everyday cleaning, a soft, damp cloth is generally sufficient. For heavier dirt, a pH-neutral cleaner can be used. Abrasive sponges and strong solvents may damage the painted surface.

How does an aluminum frame affect the weight of furniture?

Aluminum is a lightweight metal and helps keep the load-bearing structure of the furniture relatively light. However, the total weight of the furniture may vary depending on the tabletop, cushions, and other materials used in the product.

What is the purpose of electrostatic powder coating?

Electrostatic powder coating creates a colored and protective finish on metal surfaces. To preserve the appearance of the coating, hard sponges, abrasive cleaners, and equipment that may scratch the surface should be avoided.

Wintech rattan is a synthetic outdoor weave with the appearance of natural rattan. This material can be used on exposed parts of furniture such as chair backs, armrests, and side panels, and is developed for areas exposed to sunlight and moisture. Its UV protection helps limit color fading, while its water-resistant and washable structure makes it easier to clean everyday dirt that accumulates between the weaves.

What Is the Difference Between Wintech Rattan and Natural Rattan?

Natural rattan is made from plant-based fibers. Its flexible structure creates the characteristic appearance of woven furniture; however, when exposed to rain and intense sunlight for long periods, the fibers may dry out, loosen, or break.

Wintech rattan, on the other hand, is more resistant to outdoor conditions thanks to its synthetic structure. Its UV protection helps protect against sun-induced color changes, while its water-resistant surface limits moisture absorption compared to natural fibers. This difference becomes especially important on uncovered balconies, terraces, and in gardens.

How Is Wintech Rattan Used in Furniture?

The appearance of the weave on furniture is determined by more than just its color. The thickness of the strands, the density of the weave, and the area where it is applied also affect the final look. Tightly woven patterns create a fuller surface, while more open weaves allow more of the underlying frame to remain visible.

Its flexible structure allows the weave to be applied not only to flat surfaces but also to chair backs, armrests, and curved side sections. Different models in the Terazzi collection demonstrate how these applications can vary:

• Dora Rattan Garden & Balcony Sofa Set features Wintech rattan weaving. The weave is resistant to water and UV rays and is washable.
• Lucca Rattan Garden & Balcony Sofa Set also uses the same material.
• On the Aqua Garden Sofa Set, the weave is featured on the outer surfaces of the aluminum frame.
• Designed for dining areas, the Oslo Rattan Garden Dining Set uses Wintech Rattan on the chairs.

The area covered by the weave, the weaving technique, and the spacing may vary depending on the product. Therefore, two rattan-style models made from the same material can still look significantly different from each other.

Wintech Rattan in Sun, Rain, and Everyday Use

How to Clean Wintech Rattan

Dust, small leaves, and debris that accumulate between the weaves can be removed using a soft-bristled brush. For more thorough cleaning, warm water, a soft cloth, and a mild non-abrasive cleaner are sufficient.

Scrubbing the weave with hard-bristled brushes or using abrasive sponges may leave marks on the surface. For dirt trapped between tightly woven sections, moving the brush in different directions helps clean the surface without putting unnecessary pressure on the weave.

On models with cushions, the textile sections require different care from the rattan weave. During periods of prolonged rainfall, keeping the cushions in a covered and dry area helps prevent the fabric from becoming unnecessarily wet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wintech Rattan

Is Wintech rattan a natural material?

No. It is a synthetic outdoor weave designed to resemble natural rattan. Its structure offers greater resistance to sunlight and moisture than natural fibers.

Its water-resistant synthetic structure provides resistance to rain and moisture. For products with cushions, textile components should not be left exposed to heavy rain for prolonged periods.

How should Wintech rattan be cleaned?

Warm water, a soft cloth, or a soft-bristled brush is sufficient for everyday cleaning. Hard brushes and abrasive cleaning products should not be used on the weave.

What types of furniture use Wintech rattan?

Wintech rattan can be used in garden sofa sets, compact garden sets, and rattan-woven chair models. Depending on the product, the weave may be applied to different areas such as the backrest, armrests, or side panels.

Phifertex mesh fabric is a technical textile that can be used directly as the seat and backrest surface of outdoor furniture without requiring cushions. Its open mesh structure allows continuous airflow while limiting the amount of water retained on the surface. This construction makes a noticeable difference in areas frequently exposed to water, such as poolside spaces, terraces, and coastal environments. Made from PVC-coated polyester yarns, the surface is designed to resist sunlight and moisture.

How Does Phifertex Mesh Fabric Differ from Cushioned Surfaces?

Cushioned and mesh-surface sun loungers provide different seating experiences. Since mesh fabric does not contain a filling layer, air can pass through both the backrest and seating surface. This open structure helps the surface feel cooler and more breathable, particularly in hot weather.

On some sun loungers, Phifertex can be used directly as the seat and backrest surface without additional cushions. Therefore, the comfort of a sun lounger depends not only on the fabric but also on the product’s shape and backrest angle. When comparing Sun Bed Models, the differences between cushioned and mesh-surface options can be evaluated according to individual usage preferences.

Using Phifertex in Poolside and Sunbathing Areas

A sun lounger positioned beside a pool may come into contact with wet swimwear, towels, and splashing water many times throughout the day. The open mesh structure reduces water retention and shortens drying time. As a result, the surface may require less time to become ready for use again compared with thicker textile layers.

The PVC-coated polyester construction is resistant to humid environments. Resistance to mold and mildew is particularly important in areas where moisture is consistently present, such as poolside and coastal environments. UV resistance also helps limit color changes on surfaces exposed to direct sunlight.

Structure and Features of Phifertex Mesh Fabric

These characteristics are particularly beneficial for outdoor seating designed without cushions. The open structure of the mesh maintains airflow while also reducing the amount of moisture remaining on the surface after contact with water.

How to Clean Phifertex Mesh Fabric

Dust, pollen, and small particles may accumulate between the openings of the mesh over time. For everyday cleaning, removing these particles with a soft cloth or soft-bristled brush is generally sufficient.

Sunscreen, beverage spills, or residue carried from the pool should ideally be cleaned before they dry on the surface. Dirt trapped between the mesh openings should be removed without putting excessive pressure on the material, and hard or abrasive cleaning equipment should be avoided.

After cleaning, the surface can be left to air-dry. The breathable structure of the mesh allows remaining moisture to dissipate more quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Phifertex Mesh Fabric

What is Phifertex mesh fabric?

Phifertex is a technical outdoor mesh made from PVC-coated polyester yarns. Its open structure allows airflow and creates a quick-drying surface after contact with water.

Does Phifertex mesh fabric require cushions?

On some sun loungers, it can be used directly as the seating and backrest surface, meaning additional cushions may not be necessary. The overall comfort level may vary depending on the shape of the sun lounger and the backrest position.

Is Phifertex mesh fabric resistant to sunlight?

Its UV-resistant structure helps limit color changes caused by sunlight. However, some changes in tone may occur over time on surfaces exposed to intense sunlight for extended periods.

Does Phifertex fabric dry quickly when wet?

The open mesh structure reduces water retention and allows airflow through the surface. Drying time may vary depending on sunlight, temperature, humidity, and air circulation.

Where is Phifertex mesh fabric used?

Phifertex mesh surfaces are particularly suitable where quick drying and breathability are important. For this reason, they are commonly preferred for sun loungers used in poolside areas, coastal environments, and terraces where frequent and direct contact with water is expected.

Travertine ceramic combines the color and texture variations of natural travertine with the practical properties of a ceramic surface. Its resistance to water, sunlight, and temperature changes makes it suitable for outdoor use, while its stain-resistant surface makes everyday cleaning easier. By preserving the appearance of natural stone, this material provides both a visually appealing and functional option for flat surfaces used in gardens and terraces.

The Natural Stone Appearance of Travertine Ceramic

Travertine surfaces do not feature a single, uniform color. Variations between lighter and darker tones create an appearance reminiscent of the natural veining and tonal differences found in real stone. This gives the ceramic surface a more distinctive character compared with plain, single-color tabletops.

One of the key advantages of ceramic is that it combines this natural stone appearance with surface properties suitable for outdoor use. In areas exposed to water, sunlight, and everyday stains, the natural stone effect can be maintained while the surface remains relatively easy to clean.

How Does It Differ from Natural Travertine?

Natural travertine is a genuine stone that naturally contains pores, small cavities, and variations in veining from one piece to another. Travertine ceramic, on the other hand, reproduces this appearance on a ceramic surface.

The difference between the two materials becomes particularly noticeable when it comes to maintenance. Ceramic surfaces are resistant to stains, and everyday dirt can be removed with a damp cloth. For users who prefer the appearance of natural travertine but want a surface that is easier to maintain outdoors, this can be an important factor when making a choice.

Resistance to Sunlight, Water, and Temperature Changes

Garden and terrace surfaces are exposed to sunlight, rain, moisture, and changing temperatures throughout the day. The main characteristics of travertine ceramic under these conditions include:

How to Clean Travertine Ceramic Surfaces

For everyday cleaning, a soft, slightly damp cloth can be used. When food or drinks are spilled, wiping the surface promptly helps prevent residue from drying and becoming more difficult to remove.

Although the surface is scratch-resistant, hard and abrasive cleaning equipment should not be used regularly. Soft cleaning tools are preferable to steel wool, hard brushes, or rough sponges that may damage the surface.

The travertine-inspired pattern does not require a different cleaning method. Regularly removing everyday dirt and wiping up spilled liquids without leaving them on the surface for extended periods is sufficient for most routine maintenance.

Where Is Travertine Ceramic Used in Outdoor Furniture?

Hard ceramic surfaces are particularly practical for tables and similar flat furniture components. The travertine appearance gives these surfaces a natural stone effect, while resistance to UV rays, water, and stains provides practical advantages for outdoor use.

Terazzi offers Garden Dining Sets with different tabletop and frame structures. In addition to the specific model featuring travertine ceramic, the frame material beneath the tabletop and the overall dimensions of the table also influence how the furniture performs in an outdoor setting.

On terraces exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day, resistance to UV rays and temperature changes becomes particularly important. For garden tables frequently used for dining, a stain-resistant and easy-to-clean surface can make a more noticeable difference in everyday maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Travertine Ceramic

Is travertine ceramic real travertine?

No. Travertine ceramic reproduces the colors and textures of natural travertine on a ceramic surface. Instead of natural stone, a ceramic structure suitable for outdoor use is used.

Does rain affect a travertine ceramic surface?

Its resistance to water and moisture makes it suitable for outdoor use. However, the properties of the furniture frame, connection points, and other materials should also be considered separately.

Does the color change under sunlight?

UV resistance helps limit the effects of sunlight on the surface. This provides an advantage for gardens and terraces exposed to direct sunlight.

Does travertine ceramic scratch easily?

The surface is resistant to scratching. However, repeatedly dragging hard or abrasive objects across the surface may still leave marks.

Is travertine ceramic stain-resistant?

Travertine ceramic has a stain-resistant and easy-to-clean surface. Wiping away food and beverage residue before it dries is generally sufficient to remove most everyday stains easily.
