risk management
Insurance companies call it "being prepared". Andure® is the most awarded outdoor furniture because it squarely addresses the real issues.

bodily harm
Stability, 'graspability" from 360 degrees, ease of entrance and exit and comfortable back support - plus the all important visual perception of stability - communicate vigilance and reduce injuries.

The health care industry's recent Design Symposium proclaimed Andure® to be the Most Economical, Most Innovative, Most Sustainable and Best In Show. Surfaces which support the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria or virus undermine a risk management program.

image failure
More costly than litigation. Even a slightly degraded surface or weld or coating undermines the huge investment prestige properties make in image. When we solved the Air Force's requirement for exceptionally long life solar collectors, we also eliminated the little tell tale signs associated with the beginnings of failure in all wood, metal and conventional resins. Discoloration and even odor propagation are eliminated by our impressive manufacturing process. A related tool for image enhancement is our ability to permanently fuse a customer's art into the surface of a chair. It becomes part of the Andure® resin

environmental sensitivity
100% recyclability. "Cradle to Cradle" is the term assigned by engineers to the evaluation of a product's environmental life. Andure®'s processing and ingredients are selected for minimum impact on air and water. Manufacturing in the USA enables all of the energy otherwise needed for shipping from foreign countries to be applied to creating the product itself. Scrap Andure® resulting from our process of carving one piece at a time is recycled back into the product, leaving landfills for more productive uses. Extended warranties and a program in development to eventually buy-back/recycle Andure® furniture shed light on our 20 years of environmental awards.

physical failure
Our clientele tell us that no furniture at any price competes with our raw durability. We avoid even stainless steel screws in most of our joints in favor of massive through joints. When a customer's fork lift truck drove over one of our chaise lounge, the property owner had the unit back in service minutes after replacement front legs were received via UPS.

disease
Health care properties and cruise ships are two applications where disease prevention is mortally important. Law prevents us from making a claim, but we can invite you to conduct tests. Measure the amount of SARS and Norwalk
like Virus which survive when you request our optional AndurCideTM be compounded into Andure®. Labor invested in repeated disinfections of furniture can become available
for other tasks.
