Winter is one of the toughest seasons for urban furniture: cold temperatures, humidity, ice and thermal shock can significantly affect durability and performance. For municipalities, architects and developers, selecting long-lasting and sustainable materials means improving citizens’ comfort while reducing maintenance costs and environmental impact.

Among the most efficient materials, galvanized and coated steel, certified aluminium, stainless steel, and treated outdoor wood stand out. Hot-dip galvanized steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion and severe weather conditions. Aluminium is lightweight, 100% recyclable and ideal for modern urban design. Stainless steel ensures outstanding durability even in coastal or humid environments.

Eco-friendly coatings also play a crucial role: solvent-free paints certified for UV resistance, low temperatures and salt exposure can significantly extend the product lifespan.

Smart design enhances user experience year-round: ergonomic benches, weather-proof shelters, easy-to-maintain bins, and bike racks built for harsh climates.
Durable materials lead to more livable, safer and sustainable cities—even in the coldest months.
