Bernhardt Exteriors

ELEGANT OUTDOOR LIVING’S SUPPLIER FOR THE FINEST OUTDOOR UPHOLSTERED SEATING AND UNIQUE ACCENT TABLES.

Fully Upholstered Seating

Our fully upholstered seating is produced in North Carolina and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

The frames are crafted of exterior grade Birch plywood with an all-weather webbing seat deck. Joints are reinforced using waterproof glue and stainless steel and nickel-plated hardware. Weep holes are added to the frame to prevent water from pooling.

The upholstery process begins by covering the frames with a weather barrier material. Our outdoor rated fabrics are applied to the frame with stainless steel staples and all seams are sewn using a synthetic thread with UV protection.

Teak

  • Our teak furniture has a hand applied polyurethane finish to achieve a weathered look and feel. A six-step process is used applying multiple layers of PU stains, hand sanding and a final artisan dry brush finish, giving this furniture its desirable aged appearance.
  • Like natural teak, our finished teak will slowly change color over time. After one to two years of exposure, the finish will give way to the natural silvery patina of aged teak.
  • Imperfections, such as hair-line cracks, are natural to the teak aging process.

All-Weather Wicker

  • Our all-weather wicker is made of superior strength, high-density polyethylene.  Each fiber is created using a proprietary color blend that gives it rich visual depth.
  • This high-performance material is intricately hand woven in a variety of artistic patterns, over an aluminum frame. Some of the woven patterns on sofas and chairs can take an artist several days to complete.
  • This material is UV and mildew resistant and has been tested to maintain its color and to withstand cracking for up to five years.

Rope & Knitted Material

  • Our rope and knitted materials are designed with multifilament yarns artfully woven or wrapped in unique, dimensional patterns that give our furniture its distinct look. 
  • They are made from durable, solution dyed Olefin yarns. This fiber is UV, mold and mildew resistant.

Stainless Steel

  • Our stainless steel is 304-grade with a powder coat finish. This finish helps guard against corrosion and other deposits, when cleaned regularly. 
  • Although stainless steel is generally resistant to corrosion, superficial dark spots that may show on the surface do not affect the strength or integrity of the furniture.

Aluminum

  • All our aluminum frames are powder coated and fully welded for strength.

Concrete & Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC)

  • GRC or Glass Reinforced Concrete consists of high-strength glass fiber embedded in a concrete composite.
  • Our concrete and GRC furniture is hand finished with a protective layer of polyurethane.
  • The organic beauty of concrete furniture is evident in the natural variations in color, small surface depressions and non-structural hairline cracks that can develop over time.

Stonecast

  • Our stonecast products are made of a composite of crushed stone, indigenous to Southeast Asia, mixed with resin and/or fiberglass. 
  • To create some of the sculptural shapes and to provide structure, some of our stonecast products may have an internal frame made from treated wood or metal.
  • The finish of our stonecast products may patina over time.

Outdoor Fabrics

  • We have partnered premium brands, like Sunbrella, to create a unique collection of fabrics designed to perform, endure and correlate beautifully with our furniture.  The ultimate goal is to create a premium product that will not only last, but will also elevate the look and feel of your outdoor space.
  • The collection boasts a fresh, modern color palette with an array of patterns, luxurious textures, as well as clean, classic plains.
  • All our outdoor fabrics are made from 100% solution dyed yarns, so the performance features are not just an applied finish but are engineered into the fibers. As a result, each fabric will maintain its rich color and durability through normal wear and tear and exposure to the elements.
  • Our premium vinyl offers a look and feel so close to real leather that we are confident in calling it Endurance Leather.
  • Our exclusive line of trims offers the perfect finishing touch and allows you to create a look that is uniquely your own.
