Within the garden furniture for hotels and and establishments related to the hospitality industry, sun loungers play a leading role. They provide an ideal place for guests to lie down, rest and relax.
Therefore, we have decided to dedicate this post and provide all the necessary information to choose the ideal lounger for a hotel, spa, bar or restaurant taking into account various factors such as quality, location, features or dimensions.
Enjoying the vacations on a sun lounger by the pool or in front of the sea is possibly one of the best ways to relax and escape from routine.
Providing our customers with the greatest possible comfort must be one of our priorities and the best way to do this is by choosing the right sun loungers for our outdoor areas. There is a wide range of models on the market and it can be difficult to choose one in particular.
Therefore, from Fiaka we give you the keys to choose the perfect sun loungers for hotel gardens and hospitality:
- Define where they will be located
- Quality of the materials of the structure.
- Textile quality (upholstery and cushions)
- Functional characteristics (stackable, reclining, dismountable…)
- Design
- Size
- Accessories available for sun loungers
Sun loungers for Garden, Terrace or Beach?
Before buying the sun loungers for hotel or hospitality we must take into account the location of the same. The area where they are placed largely determines the lounger materials, colors and technical characteristics.
We must always make sure that the sun loungers that we are going to choose for the terrace of our hotel or hotel establishment, are designed to withstand inclement weather, sun and, in the case of beaches, salt. We must also bear in mind that these parts are subjected to intensive use, so they must be resistant to knocks, scratches, rubbing, etc.
Of course, colors play a very important role. If they are sun loungers for hotel terraces that are located by swimming pools or near the beach, it is advisable that they are light colors (preferably white or beige) because they will remain cooler than if we choose dark colors.
Sometimes, the terraces of hotels or hospitality establishments are not furnished all year round. During the winter and autumn months, the furniture is stored so that it does not deteriorate due to the cold or rain. When the first and summer season begins, the terraces are prepared and all the outdoor furniture is reinstalled.
In these cases, where terrace furniture is constantly being moved, we recommend light, easy-to-carry sun loungers, such as folding and removable sun loungers or pouf sun loungers.
Structural materials
Depending on the material from which the lounger is made, it will facilitate cleaning, durability or transportation.
On the one hand we have the loungers that have a structure made of materials such as wood or natural fibers such as bamboo or wicker. If we choose this type of sun lounger, we must ensure that it is treated to withstand adverse weather conditions. They provide a natural, rustic and exotic touch.
They tend to weigh more than other types of sun loungers and are therefore more difficult to transport. They must be accompanied by cushions in the seat and backrest area.
Resin, plastic or polypropylene sun loungers are an ideal material for outdoor furniture due to their high thermal resistance. They are also highly resistant to electrical and chemical products in swimming pool water.
Dream to be the most economical options. They are very easy to clean and weigh very little, which makes them easy to transport. As with the wooden ones, the structure must be accompanied by cushions in the seat and backrest area to provide comfort.
Aluminum sun loungers are also widely used because of their light weight, which makes them easy to move. They are strong and resistant. However, we must ensure that the aluminum is treated to offer resistance to sun exposure, water, temperature changes, humidity and open air. They should also be accompanied by upholstered cushions in the seat and backrest area.
Another option is the high-density foam rubber sun loungers . These loungers are perfect for hotel and hospitality terraces because they have all the necessary characteristics to provide the greatest comfort, as well as maximum resistance and functionality. The structure of the lounger itself is already soft, it acts as a mattress. In addition, it is a resistant, breathable material that withstands adverse weather conditions (humidity, rain, saltpeter, etc.). It is antifungal, thus preventing the proliferation of bacteria and fungi inside. It is of course a lightweight material and has the ability to be upholstered in a variety of outdoor fabrics.
Pouf loungers are another great alternative for hotels and hospitality. They are filled with a soft material (polystyrene beads) that mold to the body contour of the people who sit or lie on them. The pouf loungers adapt to any morphology, so everyone feels comfortable sitting on one of them. Of course, they are light, weighing very little, so they can be transported comfortably from one place to another.
Upholstery Materials
Another important factor is the upholstery fabric of the mattresses and cushions. Like the structure of the sun loungers, the textiles must be suitable for outdoor use and easy to clean.
At Fiaka we have 6 different types of fabrics for upholstering loungers and cushions. Each fabric has a number of characteristics, but above all we must look for water resistant and have sunscreen. All fabrics can be chosen in a wide range of colors, including the option to customize them and engrave logos, phrases, etc.
- Nylon
- Agora
- Filtech
- Acrylic Canvas
- Nautical leatherette
- Silvertex
Design
Within the design of sun loungers for hotel and hospitality terraces, personal taste comes into play. It is best to opt for a simple design, with straight lines that always combines with all decorative styles. In this way we ensure timelessness by preventing the sun loungers from going out of fashion.
However, if you are looking to add personality to your hotel, you can choose to include sun loungers with customized designs that are 100% adapted to your needs.
Size
Size is a determining factor, especially if we do not have a very large terrace.
Given that space on the terraces of some hospitality establishments such as bars is more limited, the size factor takes precedence here. It is advisable to use loungers that are small in size, without footrests.
If the space available is large enough, we can opt for larger sun loungers, even adding
Balinese beds
.
Functional Characteristics
Before buying sun loungers, we must make sure that they will meet the functional needs we are looking for. We can choose many types of sun loungers that have different characteristics in their structure, for example; with or without backrest, reclining or fixed, removable, without footrest, etc.
Accessories Available
There are certain elements that should always accompany sun loungers to provide greater comfort.
Cushions
It is essential that the loungers have cushions so that guests can be as comfortable as possible. They are also a decorative element that we can customize with different colors and patterns to harmonize the environment.
Puffs footrests
In case the loungers we have chosen do not have footrests, we can include footrests of puffs that take up little space and are very light.
Auxiliary Low Tables
It is advisable to accompany the sun loungers with a small side table so that the client can rest his personal items such as a cell phone, a book, or even a bottle of water, a drink or soft drink. Don’t forget that small details always make a difference.
