Bronze	Black	All steel products are available in a choice of ten standard powder-coating colors, including black, bronze, teal, green, tavern square green, white, red, blue, gray and burgundy. Optional silver and titanium metallics are available at an additional cost. We also offer many other colors (including the RAL range) at a small additional cost. Publicote™ is our name for an elaborate powder coating process that provides a baked resin coating on all exposed steel frames, bench legs, table assemblies, mounting pipe brackets and on all finished steel products. This process includes steel shotblasting, thorough cleaning and surface preparation, and a final coating of nontoxic sealer that makes the subsequent powder coating dramatically more effective. The thickness of the resulting finish coat averages 8-10 mils (200-250 microns), 3x the thickness generally found in our industry. The entire process utilizes no toxic solvents and represents our ongoing commitment to operating a modern, effective manufacturing process in a responsible and environmentally sound manner.

Patented 2nd Site Systems® Reinforced Recycled Plastic Slats

Gray	Maple		Our unique 2nd Site Systems® material combines recycled plastic with a reinforcing bar to make it “plug-compatible" with the best wood slats available. With molded-through color and U-V resistance, our attractive and durable slats shed water, resist rot, and are easily cleaned. Incredibly strong and comfortable to sit on, benches made with 2nd Site Systems® slats resemble wood and come in gray, maple, cherry and walnut. 2nd Site Systems® material is our creative solution to using recyclable resources and providing superb design choices.

			Product Detail Each slat is precision machined to receive a reinforcing spine and fasteners. Machined slots terminate before the ends of the slats, hiding the interface. The reinforcing bar is inserted and the fasteners are placed into precisely located countersunk holes. The holes are covered with filler material. The slats are installed in the same configuration as wood slats. Product History When we were first asked to include recycled slats in our product offering, we approached the decision from the point of view of our customers and the entire design community which specifies products such as ours. We wanted to be able to offer recycled products, which were "plug-compatible" with the very best wood species available. In short, we wanted to be able to provide many of the same benches, tables, and receptacles that we had developed over the past years with slats made of recycled plastic materials. We were unable to find any available material, which satisfied that simple design requirement. The slats available bowed, twisted, discolored, sagged, stretched, and always resulted in product failures, which were unacceptable. The conventional solution of adding extra supports, thickened slats, shorter spans, and other similar compromises left us unwilling to settle for the available materials.
Our guiding principle required that we find or develop a material, which met the same design criteria as the best wood slats, so that there need not be any change in the overall character of any site plan or the amenities used in public places. In short, we wanted to create a product, which made it possible to reconcile the legitimate purpose of using recycled material with the complex design criteria governing modern public spaces. The result, after years of development work, prototyping, field testing, and trials of many alternate configurations, is the product which has been awarded patents in the United States, Canada and Europe with other patents pending. There is much more going on than the simple drawings suggest. Two radically dissimilar materials must occupy the same space, although they react to changes in temperatures, stress, expansion, etc., very differently. Precision machining of fasteners and interfaces is accomplished using state-of-the-art CNC equipment. Allowance must be made for shrinking and swelling of materials in radically different ways. There is a critical interface, which exists between these two materials, and we must provide for its integrity independent of the direction in which stress is applied or temperatures change. This is why the grooves are precision machined, instead of formed in the extruding process. Best of all, 2nd Site Systems is truly a recycled material. The major raw material for the plastic slats is 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. This remarkable product fulfills both the concept and the spirit of creative recycling, using recyclable resources and providing superb design options. What began as a search for a material which could adequately substitute for wood slats has resulted in a material with characteristics which in many ways transcend the best that wood has to offer. This deceptively simple joining of two dissimilar materials, neither of which could adequately satisfy the original design criteria, has resulted in design choices beyond the most optimistic goals, which we set when this process began. Engineered to perform, look, last, and feel like no other material. Choose from one of the world's great design collections of site amenities with an uncompromising choice of four colors of patented, reinforced, recycled plastic, without design restriction and without apology.
