Thanks to its excellent physical and mechanical properties, porcelain stoneware is ideal for outdoor use, since it is resistant to
atmospheric corrosion and unaffected by UV exposure. Its qualities allow it to be water-and-oil repellent. Porcelain stoneware
is obtained via the synthesizing process of ceramic clay, feldspar, kaolin and sand. These raw materials undergo grinding and
atomization until a homogeneous particle size, suitable for pressing, is obtained. Firing takes place at 1150-1250°C for approx.
25-30 minutes in order to determine the ceramization of the mixture, ensuring the typical resistance to abrasion. The colors,
veins and shadings of porcelain stoneware vary from piece to piece. Such difference indicates the plus value and the
uniqueness of the product.

WOODS
BAMBOO - Bamboo is a rapidly growing plant which is collected without causing deforestation. After harvesting, the outermost
layer is removed and the bamboo strips are modified using a special thermo-treatment process at 200°C, which increases
its stability, ensures protection against fungi and guarantees the highest durability class. After the heat compression process
the bamboo fibres become stronger and harder than any existing type of wood. With this specific process you can have a high
density hardwood material which is resistant to all weather conditions.
TEAK - Traditional wood used for outdoor furniture with an exotic and timeless appeal. Teak is a hard wood with a high oil content
suitable for outdoor use, without the need of painting. If it does not receive any protective treatment, the surface will turn into a
silvery-grey finish, the natural protection of the internal part of the wood, considered an essential part of teak’s charm. The teak
used for EMU products is FSC® certified.
USE AND MAINTENANCE - As it is a natural material, it could have different nuances from one product to another or between
components of the same product. In case of sudden changes in temperature and humidity, moreover, cracks may also occur.
If it does not receive any maintenance treatment with the periodic application of common and specific oil-based protective
products, the surface will turn into a silvery-grey finish that can be removed with a light sanding surface and subsequent polishing
with an hessian cloth. Small stains caused by oil or other food products must be removed immediately, before the wood absorbs
them, by sanding the concerned area and by polishing it with an hessian cloth. Stains from coffee, juices, natural drinks, without
food additives, can be promptly removed with water and a soft cloth. When the wood gets wet for the first time, it is normal for
the surface to become slightly rough when it dries; the initial polished-effect can be restored with light sanding surface and
subsequent polishing with an hessian cloth. Teak is a natural material that absorbs water and is rich in oils. Over time, these oils,
by a natural process can rise to the surface and stain the cushions that have been used. Stains on the cushions can be removed
using soap and water.

WPC is a composite material made from wood fibers and HDPE. Semi-finished products are obtained by extruding the
composite. This material is resistant to UV rays, atmospheric agents and humidity. WPC does not chip and is not damaged by
bacteria or insects. It is a material that requires little maintenance. It does not need to be painted for protection.
