At McKinnon and Harris, we believe that furniture should be built to last a lifetime, especially when destined for the world’s most demanding saltwater environments. This commitment to endurance led us to a revolutionary breakthrough: Bonderite EC² Titanium Undercoat.
The journey of every piece begins with hand-welded, high-performance aluminum. However, the true "magic" happens beneath the surface through a sophisticated electro-chemical process:
- Submergence: Each frame is submerged in a massive industrial tank filled with a specialized titanium solution.
- The Energy Surge: We surge two megawatts of electricity through the bath.
- Molecular Fusion: This intense energy creates a molecular bond, fusing a ceramic-like titanium coating to every inch of the aluminum.
This is not a topical finish; it is a substantial shield that becomes a fundamental part of the aluminum itself. This process provides a level of corrosion resistance and salt spray protection that was previously impossible.
Our furniture is engineered to endure extreme climates across the globe. By utilizing the EC² titanium undercoating, we ensure a more durable finish than any other technology in the current market.
- The Undercoat: Bonderite® EC² provides the ultimate foundation of endurance.
- The Finish: We follow with an Architectural Grade Finish Coat, offering the highest level of gloss and color retention over decades.
This dual-layer system ensures our furniture remains as beautiful and enduring as the estates they grace, from the salt air of Palm Beach to the extreme heat of Dubai.
Bonderite® EC² is inherently sustainable—this chromium-free, plasma coating technology complies with strict RoHS and ELV standards. By creating furniture with an exceptionally long lifecycle, we avoid contributing to landfill with obsolete, broken, cast-off items.
