By regularly passing a liquid wax or a thin layer of protective cream, you will allow the iron furniture in iron to keep its promises: lasting a lifetime, or almost!"We make our steel furniture undergo a very high performance 'anticorrosion treatment' in 22 stages (18 baths and a baked powdered paint at 193 ° C).It can thus spend the winter outside, but you must avoid covering it, under penalty of seeing blisters appear, "explains Coralie Garin, sales manager at Fermob, creator of iron and aluminum garden furniture.
