Use of sustainable materials in the garden

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important; products must not only be functional but also have a positive impact on the environment. Firepit-online.com responds to this by offering a wide range of products made from sustainable materials. Sustainability is not just a trend but a lifestyle. The use of corten steel, stainless steel, or cast iron is a sustainable choice, but what makes it so special?

Stainless steel, also known as stainless or RVS, is an alloy of iron with a minimum of 10.5% chromium, supplemented with other elements such as nickel, manganese, carbon, and sometimes molybdenum. This ensures that the material is corrosion-resistant, preventing it from rusting or corroding like ordinary steel. The material, therefore, has a long lifespan, allowing you to enjoy endlessly, for example, MOODZ's stylish fire bowls! This fire bowl is available in four sizes, ensuring there's an ideal size for every garden. However, please note that stainless steel may discolor after use if the material comes into frequent contact with high temperatures

Cast iron is an alloy of iron with a relatively high carbon content, usually between 2% and 4%. It is produced by pouring molten iron into a mold, giving it its characteristic shape and properties. Cast iron is known for its good castability, meaning it can easily be cast into complex shapes. The material is renowned for its strength, hardness, wear resistance, and good heat conductivity. Cast iron is durable due to its strong properties, resistance to corrosion and heat, long lifespan, and recyclability. Thus, the Esschert patio heater is a unique addition to your garden, thanks to its high-quality cast iron material.

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is designed to be exposed to the outdoor environment without the need for a protective paint layer. It is widely used in garden designs such as planters, decorations, and outdoor fireplaces. Corten steel rusts due to weather conditions or use. The first corrosion layer provides a protective layer that prevents further rusting. This makes the material very strong and prevents further rusting. However, Firepit-online.com offers products for your garden made of this unique corten steel!

The use of corten steel offers several advantages:

• Corten steel is known for its exceptional durability and long lifespan. Products made of corten steel last for years, reducing the need for product replacement and thus minimizing waste production.
• Like other types of steel, corten steel is fully recyclable. At the end of the product's lifespan, corten steel can be recycled and reused.
