Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose ActivBrite instead of wood outdoor furniture?
ActivBrite combines the substantial feel and durability needed for commercial outdoor use with the low-maintenance benefits of solid HDPE plastic. There are no wood splinters to worry about, no rotting wood to replace, and no routine staining or sealing, making it an excellent option for frequently used children’s outdoor spaces.
Does ActivBrite outdoor furniture require painting or staining?
No. One of the advantages of solid HDPE construction is that it does not require the painting, staining, or sealing commonly needed with wood furniture. This can significantly reduce ongoing maintenance in busy childcare and school environments.
What are the advantages of solid HDPE plastic for outdoor furniture?
Solid HDPE provides excellent durability while requiring relatively little maintenance. Unlike wood, it will not splinter or rot, and unlike metal, the plastic material will not rust. This makes HDPE especially practical for outdoor furniture that is regularly exposed to changing weather conditions.
