MATERIALS

We provide innovation that meets elegance in crafting beautiful cabanas and daybeds for outdoor living spaces. Our commitment to sustainability and durability is reflected in our carefully selected materials. Let our designs weave together the ultimate leisure experience and unrivaled sustainability for the most significant architects, builders, and contractors worldwide.
01

Powder Coated Aluminum

This versatile metal is crafted into beautiful frames for cabanas and daybeds. The powder coating process ensures a uniform, corrosion-resistant, and sustainable finish. Using powder-coated aluminum ensures that the metal can withstand exposure to outdoor elements without rusting or deteriorating. Furthermore, it utilizes a dry finishing process that is more eco-friendly when compared to traditional liquid coatings as it reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and requires fewer hazardous waste disposal procedures.

02

Stainless Steel 

Known for its low maintenance and high strength-to-weight ratio, stainless steel provides increased durability and resistance to corrosion, even when exposed to harsh outdoor environments such as saltwater and extreme weather conditions. This material's ability to maintain structural integrity and appearance for many years makes it a favorite among architects and builders worldwide. This 100% recyclable material can be repurposed into other products without additional processing, thereby conserving resources and reducing waste. 

03

Red Grandis Wood 

Derived from sustainably managed forests, this dense, versatile hardwood is ideal for outdoor use. Known for its exceptional durability, dimensional stability, and natural weather resistance, Red Grandis wood is an excellent alternative to traditional tropical hardwoods. It boasts a naturally rich, straight-grain pattern and an uncanny ability to resist decay or damage. Furthermore, this wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), signifying its sustainable, socially responsible, and economically viable production. 

04

Ipe Wood 

Characterized by its extreme durability, low-maintenance requirements, and natural resistance to insects, Ipe is another robust hardwood used to make Academy Design's products. Nicknamed "Ironwood" for its impressive hardness and toughness, its inherent resilience to weather, insects, and mold makes it an ideal material for long-lasting outdoor cabanas and daybeds. This wood showcases an exceptional lifespan, often outlasting even composite materials, and significantly reduces the need for replacement or rotation. Moreover, as it is sourced from responsibly-managed forests, it promotes sustainable harvesting practices. 

05

Jatoba Wood

Renowned for its exceptional strength, durability, and natural beauty, Jatoba wood is a sustainable addition to our luxurious outdoor living solutions collection. This hardwood, characterized by its remarkable hardness and resistance to wear, weathering, and rot, perfectly aligns with our commitment to sustainability. Sourced from responsibly managed forests in South America, primarily Brazil, Jatoba wood showcases a rich reddish-brown hue that deepens over time, creating an inviting and sophisticated aesthetic in any outdoor space. With an exceptional lifespan, Jatoba wood frequently outlasts even composite materials, significantly reducing the need for replacement or rotation. By selecting Jatoba wood, we prioritize sustainability, conserving resources, and promoting responsible forestry practices.

06

Woven Vinyl Fabric 

These high-tech textiles are crafted from multi-filament polyester and PVC compounds. This material is water, mildew, and abrasion-resistant, enhancing its resilience against the elements while being sustainable, as PVC can be recycled multiple times without losing its quality. This high-quality material provides exceptional durability, resilience to outdoor environments, and resistance to fading, stains, and mildew. Its appealing texture adds visual interest while remaining comfortable and easy to maintain, ensuring our products look and perform at their best over time. 

07

Woven Acrylic Fabric 

Renowned for its durability and vibrant color spectrum, woven acrylic fabric is designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. It is resistant to fading, mildew, and general weathering. Additionally, acrylic can be recycled and repurposed into products like apparel, filtration fiber, or car interiors, fostering an eco-friendly production cycle. Woven acrylic fabric retains its vibrant hues, textures, and patterns even after exposure to harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic outdoor spaces.
