Frequently Asked Questions

What Material is this? I cannot believe it’s resin!

Our two component system results in a thicker, more durable product. The outer layer is hard, with a smooth, showroom finish; Whereas the core is structurally foamed so that shrinkage, sinking, warping and internal stress are greatly reduced.

sample S) - an outer modified solid, aesthetic resin

C) - an inner expanded, closed cell modified resin with high mechanical resistance


The bi-component molding process employed involves one material engulfing the other so that each component retains its individual characteristics. The solid outer material guarantees a premium aesthetic finish and is resistant to the effects of UV rays, temperature extremes, water, humidity, and the wear and tear of everyday use. The inner closed cell material has the ability to withstand the structural stress and tension which result from unavoidable movements during the use of this product. The structural bi-component resin remains undistorted; with both materials assuring maximum resistance. The result is a superior, premium quality product with a longer life than that of similar products manufactured using the conventional, single component injection molding process.

Structural bi-component resin features:

  • durable thickness
  • smooth, “show room” finish
  • resistance to environmental agents
  • high mechanical resistance and strength
  • flexibility and comfort
  • long product life


What about UV rays?

Our products are so UV and weather resistant, that the only thing you’ll have to worry about when leaving them outside are the thieves.


What about maintenance and repair?

Buying our products means never having to paint a chair again. Because the colors of our products run all the way through them they will never need painting. The only ordinary maintenance required is a wipe down with a mild liquid detergent and water.
For more information check out:

Scheduled maintenance:
Our chairs are very easy to maintain. Besides regular cleaning, inspect and check the integrity of each chair every time before deploying it, making sure all bolts and parts are firmly tightened.

If any parts are missing, damaged, or worn, stop using the chair.

This chair is designed for seating one person at a time and for sitting only.
Do not stand on the chair.
Do not use it as a step ladder
.
Repairs:
It is not easy to break or damage our chairs, but we are confident that someone will succeed during very rough handling operations.

If a chair gets scratched, you can try to use detergent like "soft scrub" to remove dirt and keep it clean. For WHITE CHAIRS ONLY, if you need to come up with a more radical treatment to restore the surface, our customer and friend Steve Husband from Texas, suggests to use sand paper with proper grade in different steps:
a. 120-200 grade for bad scratches.
b. 320-400 grade
c. 600-1200 grade
d. 1500-2000 grade for a very smooth finishing.

WARNING: WHAT IS REPORTED HERE IS INTENDED FOR DRAKE CHAIRS ONLY. DO NOT TRY THE PREVIOUS PROCEDURES ON COMMON RESIN CHAIRS THAT ARE NOT MADE BY DRAKE, YOU MIGHT RUIN THEM FOR GOOD.

In the event of extremely rough handling damage, do not attempt to glue broken parts back together. Call us at 732 254 1530 for spare parts. We'll be there to assist you in the best way we can.

STORAGE NOTICE:
DO NOT USE COTTON COVERS WITH RESIN CHAIRS, as the static electricity produced by the two materials combined, attracts dust and any kind of dirt.
