Steel

All steel elements are made of solid profiles, tubes and sheets. Steel is produced primarily from iron. Pure, metallic iron is a fairly soft, silver-white metal. In the Earth's crust is iron with about 6 % the second most common metal and the fourth most common element. From iron ore and coke, pig-iron is produced in blast furnaces, which becomes to steel by reducing the carbon content. All screws are made of stainless steel.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel elements of ashtrays and litterbins have a brushed surface. Stainless steel cycle stands have a polished or a glass-pearled blasted surface.

Cor-Ten Steel

The construction material Cor-Ten is almost solely made from steel sheets with a thickness of 2 - 20 mm and is mill finished until further processing. The intended rust patina accrues due to the interplay of moist and dry weather. It begins to show after 2-3 weeks after installation outside and is finished after approx. 1,5-3 years. Within this period of time there can occur rust eluviation.

A variety of our products are not made from steel sheets (like Cor-Ten) but from steel profiles in different sizes and forms that cannot be produced from the construction material Cor-Ten.

To be able to provide the rust effect nonetheless, we are offering the UFM-Rust Coating that is used for all products in our portfolio and is visible from the day of delivery without any disadvantages.

Please replace the phrase "top coat colour DB…iron mica fine structure" with "UFM-Rust Coating".

Cast Iron

Cast iron with lamellar graphite is the eldest cast material on the base of iron and it is characterised by excellent absorption properties and its resistance to corrosion. The essential components are iron, carbon and silicon. Compared to normal cast iron, a significantly lower sensitivity of wall thickness is achieved. Spheroidal graphite iron has the same basic material, but during the melting of the cast iron, the adding of magnesium effectuates, that the graphite changes its form from lamellar-shaped to ball-shaped, which causes a higher absorption of impact energy.

Surface protection and colouring

After the construction process all steel elements get a durable hot-dip galvanizing according to DIN EN ISO 1461 against corrosion and a high-class powder coating in three assembly levels through sweep–blasting, priming and application of a top coat colour DB… iron mica fine structure matt   o r   RAL …. smooth silk-gloss according to DIN 55633 after category C5 (heavy anti corrosive coating).

Bilinga

Bilinga is a tropical hardwood from sustainable cultivation for protection of ecological resources and has at the beginning a yellowish-brownish impression, which changes after a few months outdoor weathering in a silver-gray colouring. Resistance category 1, Definition: very durable, for a life-expectancy beyond 25 years. Bilinga is a medium- to heavy-weight wood with extreme favourably resistance characteristics, which are significantly higher than those of beech and oak.

Larch

Larch is a homelike, supremely durable wood with an initially ginger impression, which changes after a few months outdoor weathering in a silver-gray colouring. Larch wood has good resistance characteristics and is regarded as the most robust pinewood.

Oak

Oak wood has a number of positive properties. The robustness and durability of the oak is particularly outstanding. In addition, oak wood is very weather-resistant and resistant. The heartwood of the oak, which is located in the middle of the oak trunk, has a gray-brown color. Oak wood is mainly processed as solid wood and is used as a classic wood for furniture production.

Larch-Composite

Larch-Composite from sustainably managed areas according to EU-Timber Regulation (EUTR), dried to under 15% wood moisture, min. 95 branchless in visual range, planed with grain 240 and repeatedly honed with grain 240, chamfered edges, wood surface comes in natural state.
