Why We Choose Our Materials
Built for Performance. Selected for Longevity.
At Nusser Site Furnishing, every material is selected with a clear purpose.
We evaluate materials not only for appearance, but also for durability, maintenance requirements, lifecycle performance, sustainability, and long-term value.
Because great public spaces deserve materials that continue to perform for decades.
FSC-Certified Hardwoods
Why We Choose FSC-Certified Hardwoods
For more than 15 years, Nusser has relied on FSC-certified hardwoods sourced from responsibly managed forests.
Our hardwood selections are chosen for their proven performance in public space applications, combining natural durability, exceptional weather resistance, and long service life without the need for chemical treatments.
We primarily utilize premium hardwood species such as Iroko (Kambala), which have demonstrated outstanding performance in demanding outdoor environments for decades.
Key Benefits
• FSC-certified since 2009
• Transparent and traceable supply chains
• Naturally durable hardwood species
• No pressure treatment required
• Proven performance in public space applications
• Long-term planning security
• Exceptional lifecycle value
Hot-Dip Galvanizing as a Standard
Long-Term Corrosion Protection Starts Here
At Nusser Site Furnishing, hot-dip galvanizing is not an upgrade or an optional enhancement—it is our standard.
We believe that products designed for decades of service in public environments require corrosion protection that extends beyond surface coatings alone. By fully immersing steel components in molten zinc, hot-dip galvanizing protects not only visible surfaces but also edges, corners, welds, and internal cavities.
This creates a level of durability and lifecycle performance that conventional coating systems alone cannot achieve.
Why It Matters
• Comprehensive corrosion protection inside and out
• Protection of edges, welds, and internal cavities
• Significantly extended service life
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Lower lifecycle costs
• Greater long-term value for owners and operators
Built for the Long Term
Many site furnishing manufacturers rely solely on painted or powder-coated steel components.
At Nusser, hot-dip galvanizing forms the foundation of our corrosion protection strategy. Powder coating is applied as an additional performance and design layer—not as the primary protection system.
Because products designed for public spaces should be built to perform for decades, not just through the warranty period.
Powder Coating
Performance Meets Design
A high-quality powder coating system enhances both appearance and performance.
Applied over hot-dip galvanized steel, powder coating provides an attractive, durable finish while adding an additional layer of protection against weathering and environmental influences.
Key Benefits
• Premium fine-texture appearance
• Excellent color consistency
• Exceptional durability
• Broad range of RAL and DB colors
• Optional anti-graffiti protection
• Long-term performance in demanding environments
Powder coating is not only a protective finish—it is an important design tool that helps products integrate seamlessly into their architectural and landscape context.
Electropolished Stainless Steel
Premium Appearance. Exceptional Performance.
Not all stainless steel finishes perform equally in outdoor environments.
Our stainless steel components are bead blasted and electropolished to create a smooth, uniform surface that offers enhanced corrosion resistance, improved cleanliness, and long-term visual quality.
The electropolishing process removes microscopic surface irregularities and passivates the surface, resulting in a cleaner, more corrosion-resistant finish that performs exceptionally well in demanding public spaces.
Key Benefits
• Superior corrosion resistance
• Reduced dirt and graffiti adhesion
• Easier cleaning and maintenance
• Uniform premium appearance
• Long-term durability
• Lower lifecycle costs
• Improved comfort during sun exposure
Designed for Outdoor Performance
Electropolishing creates an exceptionally smooth and closed surface structure.
Compared to roughened, blasted, coated, or untreated metal surfaces, electropolished stainless steel accumulates less dirt, is easier to clean, and maintains its appearance over time.
The smoother surface also contributes to improved user comfort in direct sunlight. Compared to rough or coated metal surfaces, electropolished stainless steel typically heats up less during sun exposure, making it particularly well suited for seating, armrests, bike racks, bollards, and other frequently touched site furnishings.
Because performance is not measured only by durability—it is also measured by how people experience the products every day.
Acrylic Slats
When Wood Is Not the Preferred Material
For projects requiring exceptional durability, minimal maintenance, or specific design requirements, acrylic slats offer an attractive alternative to natural wood.
Manufactured using a recycled plastic core with a highly durable acrylic surface, the material combines outstanding weather resistance with excellent color stability and long-term performance.
Key Benefits
• Made from recycled materials
• UV and weather resistant
• Graffiti-resistant surface
• No sanding, painting, or refinishing required
• Highly durable and dimensionally stable
• Fully recyclable at end of life
• Available in a wide range of colors and finishes
For many applications, acrylic provides the ideal balance between durability, maintenance efficiency, and design flexibility.
Material Selection with Purpose
Every material and every manufacturing decision at Nusser Site Furnishing is guided by one simple principle:
Durability Is the Foundation of Sustainabilit
By combining responsible sourcing, proven materials, advanced manufacturing processes, and long-term thinking, we create site furnishings designed to serve communities for generations.
