Durable Resin Chaise Lounges for Resort Pool Decks
Durable resin chaise lounges for resort pool decks should withstand demanding use, have flexible comfort options, hold up outdoors, and be easy to clean and store. Choosing chairs that will comfortably seat guests while delivering years of reliable service can be challenging as chaise lounges are some of the most utilized pieces of furniture on a pool deck.
There may be dozens, if not hundreds, of loungers and lounging chairs around pools, spas, cabanas, or beach entrances. When managers select an inappropriate chaise lounge, pools can experience faded colors, brittle frames, sagging fabric, difficult maintenance, and units that need replacing far too often.
Why Choose Commercial Resin Chaise Lounges?
Commercial resin furniture is ideal for pool decks and outdoor furniture areas because it is moisture resistant and will not corrode or rust. Additionally, resin chairs can be constructed with reinforced frames that are durable enough for guests while staying light enough for staff to move when necessary.
Another consideration is furniture maintenance. Most resin furniture requires minimal maintenance compared to natural wood furniture, wicker pieces, or cloth sling chairs.
Employees should be able to wipe down manufactured surfaces as directed by the manufacturer without needing to refinish or reseal the frame throughout the season.
Despite the many benefits of commercial resin furniture, resorts should still assess chaise lounges as they would any other patio furniture product. Factors such as frame construction, sling material or slat durability, UV protection, foot design, wheel strength, adjustable positions, and overall commercial rating will determine how well it performs.
What Makes the Perfect Resort Chaise Lounge?
The perfect resort chaise lounge has a high commercial performance rating and durable construction so guests feel supported when relaxing by the pool. Along with comfortable seating options and adjustable back positions, resorts should pay attention to sturdy frames, sling or slat quality, furniture foot design, wheels, and overall style to ensure the chair fits into the property’s pool deck.
Stackability and wheels are key features for chaises because they allow poolside employees to move, store, and organize chairs more effectively. The Grosfillex Americas commercial chaise lounge collection offers both solid resin and sling options for resorts, hotels, clubs, beaches, or community pool areas. Models include timeless classics and modern chaise lounges with replaceable sling kits.
While many properties will assess their current furniture and make decisions based on coordinating with existing umbrellas and cushions, there are other questions that can help managers choose the right chaise lounge. Consider the primary guests who will sit in the chair and how long patrons spend by the pool or beach. Luxury spas might value extra padding and upscale design, while water parks might prioritize quick drying times, easy clean-up, and fast storage.
Solid-Resin vs. Sling Options
Solid-resin chairs offer many advantages to resort properties. When manufactured correctly, chairs with solid resin slats can withstand heavy poolside traffic. Features like reinforced slats and frames eliminate discomfort some patrons may experience with hollow chaise lounge frames and worn fabric seating areas.
Grosfillex Americas Bahia Chaise Lounge is designed specifically for heavy commercial outdoor use. This solid-resin lounge features extra-reinforced slats, recessed wheels for comfort and stackability, UV protection, saltwater, chlorine, and stain resistance. Plus, it meets industry ASTM Class B performance standards and features a 300-pound weight capacity.
Solid-resin lounges offer the benefit of very low maintenance. Because there is no fabric sling, resorts no longer have to worry about holes being torn in the chaise lounge fabric. However, damaged solid resin slats can still occur if loungers are stacked incorrectly or exposed to harsh conditions. Follow manufacturer guidelines for storage and cleanliness to ensure your chaise lounges last many seasons.
When Should Resorts Choose a Sling Chaise Lounge?
Water permeates through sling material allowing the chaise lounge to dry quickly after rainfall, pool enjoyment, or cleansing. It also provides guests with breathable seating as the sun warms chairs during busy pool hours.
Grosfillex Americas Nautical Pro Chaise Lounge features a commercial-grade vinyl-coated polyester sling. Its sturdy five-position adjustable back can recline completely flat, includes anti-pinch technology, and has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. The polyester sling is tightly woven to create firm support that allows air to pass through.
Even with durable construction, furniture will degrade over time. Sling replacement allows managers to renew furniture that is still in good condition. As long as the frame is not damaged, changing out the old sling and attaching a new one allows resorts to refresh their furniture while saving money.
Benefits of Wheels and Stackable Furniture
Wheel and stackable features are crucial to many resort operations. Having lounges that can be stacked means poolside staff can clear the deck quickly when necessary. Employees can haul away multiple chaise lounges at once instead of lifting and carrying chairs one-by-one.
Stacking chairs will also minimize the space required for storage. Employees can move stacks alongside storage sheds, against fences, or in closets until needed again. Grosfillex Americas chaise lounge chairs are all designed to be stackable, but resorts must still understand how to properly care for and store furniture.
Improper stacking or storing too many chaise lounges on top of each other can ruin even commercial-grade chairs. By understanding the stress limits of chair frames and wheels, employees can protect furniture by stacking to manufacturer recommendations.
Does Comfort Impact Guest Enjoyment?
While sitting in a chaise lounge is not strenuous, guests can lounge for several hours. This makes proper support and comfort important to overall satisfaction with their resort stay. Resort guests should have control of their seating position with adjustable back functions.
Breathable sling chairs and molded resin seating can also help guests feel more comfortable outdoors. Because most people will choose to lounge by the pool during warm months, chairs that enable airflow significantly improve comfort.
Entry and exit are additional factors to keep in mind. Properties can offer armrests to some guests, but removing arms from the chaise design allows patrons to access chairs from either side. This can be ideal for pool decks as it simplifies access while giving furniture a more streamlined look.
Comfort also includes spacing between chairs. Resorts should intentionally plan how chaise lounges relate to other furniture like tables, chairs, and bar services. Crowded furniture creates a cluttered space and can frustrate guests trying to move around the pool deck.
How do Resorts Benefit from Branded Chaise Lounges?
Chaise lounge colors should blend with a resort’s umbrellas, towels, landscaping, pool finish, or architectural design elements. Managers can also take advantage of sling replacement options to customize poolside furniture with the property’s logo or another brand feature.
Resorts looking to promote their beach, hotel room, or spa photos may notice furniture plays a key role in the overall image. Matching furniture sets can help hotels and resorts feel more luxurious in photos that promote the property.
