Leading Manufacturer of Quality Commercial and Residential Outdoor FurnitureSuncoast’s furniture is handcrafted in the U.S.A. combining the finest materials available, the latest manufacturing techniques and skilled craftsmanship. From drawing board to finished product, Suncoast’s goal of comfort and durability are achieved.Suncoast offers resin wicker furniture in both traditional, transitional, and contemporary styles. As an alternative to resin wicker frames, we created an industry-leading fully upholstered outdoor furniture with our Summer collection. Summer provides a handsome addition to any indoor or outdoor space and is 100% made in the USA with all domestically sourced materials. It is truly weatherproof, featuring upholstery and cushion fabrics from industry leaders Phifer, Twitchell, and Sunbrella.Prepared Using Our Exclusive Platinum Bond™ Finish ProcessEvery Suncoast frame is prepared using our exclusive Platinum Bond™ finish process consisting of two complete coatings of polyester powder. This finish will not rust or peel and is warranted for 3 years residential use. Suncoast uses two fiberglass springs attached to an aluminum mechanism to provide a smooth rocking motion. Aluminum doesn’t rust. Additionally, Suncoast uses only stainless steel nuts and bolts where movement is desired, as in chaise lounges and gliders. Stainless steel will never rust or become wobbly like other soft metal fasteners. Commercial QualityLonger Service Life and Lower Cost of OwnershipOur all-aluminum frames are built to last. Unlike many manufacturers, we use heavy gauge extrusions with internal strengthening ribs in proprietary configurations to provide increased strength. Aluminum is a material that is light weight, strong, and highly corrosion resistant. It is 1/3 the weight of steel and wrought iron and won’t rust.Powder Coated Finish That Looks New for YearsOur aluminum furniture frames are prepared using our exclusive multi-step Platinum Bond™ powder coating process. The entire process is environmentally friendly with no heavy metals in the waste stream.Conveyorized metal pretreatment– After sanding, the furniture is placed onto an automated conveyor to pass through a four-stage chemical spray wash system.Conveyorized metal pretreatmentAfter sanding, the furniture is placed onto an automated conveyor to pass through a four-stage chemical spray wash system.Stage 1Surfactants and acid cleaners in the first stage remove oil and dust and etch the surface to increase the surface area to the substrate. This provides a tight bond between the aluminum and powder coating.Stage 2The second stage is a fresh water rinse to remove the surfactants and acid from the previous stage.Stage 3The third stage is another rinse; this time with reverse osmosis water. This water leaves the surface free of all impurities. Suncoast is unique in the industry for utilizing a rinse with such purity.Stage 4The fourth stage applies a zirconium polymer sealant and corrosion prevention coating to the surface. This dry in place coating promotes adhesion and offers superior salt spray corrosion resistance when compared to phosphate based coatings.Drying OvenThe conveyor moves the furniture though a convection oven where streams of hot air thoroughly dry the zirconium polymer sealant onto the surface of the furniture.Powder CoatingAfter the furniture is dry, it passes through our powder coating booth. Two coats of TGIC polyester powder are applied using electrostatic spray guns. Powder coating is three times thicker than paint and more durable. Curing OvenThe furniture passes through an elevated cure oven that operates at a temperature of 380 degrees Fahrenheit. It is here that the magic of powder coating takes place. It changes from a dry powder to the desired glossy smooth or textured finish. The color also changes dramatically; we see the multi-color finishes appear. The power melts and flows into the etched surface created in the pretreatment washer. After curing, the powder is now permanently bonded to the aluminum.Attractive and Durable SlingsDouble stitched slings lock together the outer vinyl jacket of each fabric strand and lock the inner acrylic core, making slings longer lasting. Suncoast slings are among the tightest slings in the industry. This keeps your slings taut and sag-free for many years.Our custom sewing guides allow our operators to produce slings of constant width with tailored seams. Unlike our competitors, you won’t find raw edges on our sling seams.Customizable Frame Finishes & FabricsDouble Wrapped Vinyl Straps Stay Locked in PlaceWelded Riv-Nuts Outlast Other FastenersEasily Replaceable Stainless Steel HardwareUnbreakable WeldsOur inverter based TIG equipment allows our welding staff to precisely control the weld pattern and profile. Argon gas shields the weld pool during the welding process.
