Polypropylene Seat

Creating our sturdy plastic dining chairs requires a specialised approach. We use high-grade polypropylene, known for its durability and lightweight properties. 

Our polypropylene (PP) plastic chairs undergo a multi-step manufacturing process that begins with the selection of high-quality polypropylene pellets. In the injection moulding stage, these pellets are melted and injected into a carefully designed mould to shape the entire chair, including the seat and backrest. Rapid cooling follows to solidify the molten polypropylene, and the demolding phase ensures the chair retains its intended structure. After cooling and solidification, the chair parts are assembled to form the final chair design.

Our PP plastic chairs are then put through quality control tests, including weight capacity, impact, durability, UV resistance, stability, and materials testing, to ensure they meet safety, quality, and performance standards.

Key Benefits

• Low Maintenance: PP plastic dining chairs are easy to clean and maintain. The material is resistant to stains, and a simple wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient to keep them looking clean and well-maintained.
• Comfort Considerations: Our polypropylene chairs incorporate ergonomic features like contoured seats and backrests for enhanced comfort during prolonged sitting.
• Durability: Polypropylene (PP), a strong and lightweight plastic known for its durability. This material is resistant to scratches, dents, and everyday wear and tear, making them suitable for frequent use.
• Weather Resistance: Polypropylene is generally resistant to moisture, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor dining areas, although prolonged sun exposure might cause slight fading over time.
• Lightweight: Polypropylene chairs are significantly lighter compared to chairs made from materials like wood or metal. This makes them easy to move and handle, adding to their practicality and convenience, especially in dynamic or frequently reconfigured spaces.
• Open Back Design: The open back design not only imparts a modern and airy aesthetic but also introduces an element of visual lightness, making these chairs an ideal choice for creating an inviting and spacious ambiance in your dining area.

Chrome Metal Legs

Creating the metal legs with a stunning chrome finish is a multi-step process. It begins with cutting and shaping the metal to the desired design, followed by precision welding for stability. After this, we carefully grind the surfaces to smooth perfection. 

Next comes the electroplating process. The first layer involves electroplating the base with a thin layer of copper and nickel, which enhances corrosion resistance and provides a smoother surface for the final chrome plating. Finally, the electroplating process deposits a thin layer of chromium onto the nickel layer. The thickness of the chrome plating determines the final level of reflectivity and mirror-like finish. The newly chrome-plated base is polished to a brilliant shine, highlighting the reflective properties of the chromium layer and accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

Care guide

• Regular Maintenance: Wipe down the chairs regularly with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to remove dust and general dirt. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the affected areas.
• Use Gentle Cleaners: Avoid using abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners on your plastic dining chairs as these can strip away the protective layer. Opt instead for mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions that are gentle on the plastic yet effective in removing dirt and stains.
• Test Cleaning Solutions: Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area: Always test any cleaning solution on a hidden area of the chair before applying it to the visible surface.

Sizing Guide

Chair Spacing: Maintain a space of at least 15cm between dining chairs to prevent overcrowding. Adequate spacing allows diners to move in and out of their seats easily, promoting a more enjoyable and functional dining experience. Consider the overall dimensions of the dining area when determining the optimal chair spacing.

Space to Move: Leave around 60cm between the chair back and your wall. This allows you and your guests to sit comfortably and manoeuvre without feeling cramped. Proper proximity ensures a seamless dining experience, allowing people to access their seats with ease.

Number of Chairs: Assess the available space around the dining table to determine the practical number of chairs that can comfortably fit. Consider the table's size, shape, and room dimensions to ensure adequate spacing between chairs for both visual appeal and ease of movement. Below is a general guide, but these are flexible dependent on the chair size and desired level of comfort:

Rectangular Tables

• 100cm or below: 4 people
