Materials
Steel
Steel is one of the most structurally sound, dependable building materials and is used by Keystone Ridge Designs to ensure the best quality end-products reach our clients. With state-of-the-art equipment and superior, structurally-sound raw materials, our manufacturing process guarantees the utmost in commercial-grade quality. The steel that is used to manufacture our line of steel furnishings is composed of at least 25% recycled content. Certain types of steel bar used may be comprised of up to 100% recycled steel. From unformed material to each completed site furnishing, every piece of steel is crafted with the individual attention and customization it deserves. This unsurpassed metal preparation followed by a 7-15 mil thickness application of colored polyester powder coating renders an exclusive appearance and an extremely durable finish that is rust, abuse and sun-fade resistant.
Aluminum
As a light-weight alternative to steel, aluminum holds a unique luster while adding the ease of portability and a modern flare to site furnishings. The Lamplighter, Augustine, Robinson and Schenley benches incorporate aluminum leg castings. The Everett is comprised entirely of aluminum making it a great option for marine climates. Select products can also be customized with aluminum construction. Aluminum’s stability, paired with quality craftsmanship, creates beautiful, yet practical site furnishing accents. Also, the aluminum used is comprised of approximately 97- 98% recycled aluminum scrap.
Wood-grain Aluminum
In a revolutionary powder coating process for the site furniture industry, this wood grain finish fuses high-definition photographic images on powder coated metal, showcasing realistic natural grain patterns. Get the durability of powder coated aluminum with the beautiful look of wood. No need to worry about splitting, cracking, warping or fading. A popular option for the Rosedale and Breakwater benches. This process can even extend itself to include other imagery from marble to camouflage to custom logos – all we need is an image.

Ipe Hardwood
Some site furnishings such as the Schenley and Robinson benches come with a standard option to include slats made of Ipe hardwood.

This strong, durable hardwood adds a rich warmth to complement a metal frame and comes from a sustainable source to promote responsible forestry.
