Outdoor solid wood furniture
While indoor furniture has been our main production, Mondoro is now designing and producing unique outdoor furniture. Many of our customers are finding a growing market for weather resistant outdoor furniture—especially the American market. Outdoor furniture has special requirements:
1. Weather tested: The furniture that is used in outdoor production must be able to withstand many kinds of weather. Though it is recommended that people bring the furniture indoors during the winter season, some people do not, so the furniture and finish should be able to withstand extreme temperatures. Presently Mondoro manufacturers outdoor furniture with paint color and also with a basic oiled finished. Both of these finishes are able to withstand outdoor use.
2. Wood: The wood for outdoor furniture is very important. It must be the proper type of wood that can withstand outdoor use. Mondoro does most of their outdoor production in Acassia or Balau wood. Both of these woods are wood types that are found locally in Vietnam. We have also produced with imported plantation certified teak.
3. Glue: The glue used in outdoor production must be able to withstand harsh weather conditions. To help with this, Mondoro has a testing facility where we are able to simulate the harsh weather conditions through our cycle test. where we first place the product in very cold temperatures to freeze it and then place it in a heater to heat it up. This helps us to see how the product will react in extreme conditions.
4. Structure: Unlike indoor furniture, outdoor furniture must have a different structure. The pieces must be designed so that the wood can expand and contract where needed in ensure that the pieces of furniture will not crack. This type of technical knowledge requires skilled
