At our outdoor bench factory, every powder-coated frame is backed by a written warranty that covers against premature fading and chalking. Specifically, we offer a 5-year warranty for residential use and a 3-year warranty for commercial or public installations. This warranty guarantees that under normal outdoor conditions, the powder coating will not fade beyond a tolerance of 5% per ASTM D2244 color difference measurement. If the coating fades beyond that threshold due to UV exposure rather than physical damage or chemical abuse, we will re-coat the affected parts at no charge, including labor and shipping within the first year. After the first year, we supply the refinishing materials free of charge, while the customer covers application labor. The warranty is transferable if the original purchase receipt is provided. To ensure your warranty remains valid, avoid placing the bench in constant contact with harsh chemicals, saltwater spray, or abrasive cleaners. Regular gentle washing with mild soap and water is recommended. We also use a two-layer powder coating system with a UV-stabilized polyester topcoat, which provides superior fade resistance compared to standard epoxy powders. Our factory tests every batch under accelerated QUV weathering instruments, simulating 5 years of intense sunlight before the benches leave our facility. This proactive approach allows us to confidently offer the fade warranty that competitors often avoid. If you have any questions about coverage, simply contact our support team with your order number and photos of the affected area. We typically respond within 48 hours and process warranty claims within two weeks. Our goal is to ensure that your outdoor bench retains its deep, rich color for years, even in harsh climates. With this warranty, you can invest in durable public seating without worrying about unsightly fading.
