Outdoor time can be especially precious during Calgary’s long winters. A patio heater can make enjoying evening hours outside easier without freezing yourself to death.
Aaron and Miranda Jones, brother and sister design duo, created this concrete heated seating collection designed to warm a person’s core temperature rather than emitting it into the air.
Aluminum Patio Furniture Sets
Aluminum patio furniture offers the ideal blend of style, comfort, and practicality. As an adaptable material, aluminum can be used to craft everything from outdoor dining sets and conversation pieces to conversation pieces, swivel rockers, bar carts, lightweight bar carts and lightweight bar carts. Plus, its light weight makes aluminum easy to move around the yard or rearrange as desired, plus regular wipe-downs with mild soap and water are all it requires for maintenance purposes.
Aluminium is not only versatile and resistant to the elements; it’s also durable enough to withstand weather exposure without corrosion forming from snow or rain exposure and won’t warp or dent like wood does. Plus, due to being nonconductive of heat conductivity it won’t get hot on a sunny day either!
Your aluminum patio furniture should remain comfortable throughout the year. In case any sun damage does occur, however, repairs can usually be accomplished by sanding down affected areas and repainting with matching hues.
Aluminum furniture’s other benefit lies in its compatibility with various decorative styles. From minimalistic modernism to intricate ornate patterns, there’s sure to be an aluminum set suitable for every taste and backyard aesthetic – not to mention advanced powder coating technology that offers nearly limitless color choices!
Are you searching for ways to add some flair and color to your aluminum furniture? Consider adding colorful cushions. From vibrant pops of hues or more subdued tones that complement existing metal furnishings, soft textures surrounding hard surfaces make the space feel more welcoming and warm.

Wrought iron furniture can last decades with proper maintenance and care, including regular cleaning with mild soap and water and seasonal storage.

Before purchasing patio furniture, it’s essential to evaluate both the size and layout of your space. This will enable you to identify which pieces should be purchased as well as what seating/table arrangements would best suit your backyard. Furthermore, traffic flow and other considerations that could influence seating arrangements must be taken into account.
Gas Fire Pits
An outdoor fire pit adds warmth and conversation to your patio furniture set-up, serving as the focal point for gatherings and conversations. These modern alternatives to wood-burning bonfires offer clean heat with no smoke or ash generated, not to mention beautiful flames adding visual warmth and visual ambiance.
Choose between propane or natural gas models to create a warm and welcoming ambience in your backyard or balcony. Both styles come with portable and permanent designs; propane fire pits may be better suited to households that regularly rearrange furniture such as moving patio furniture around for guests or rearrange the layout of their space while natural gas models work best when connected directly to an internal gas line, or installed as more permanent features surrounded by landscaping or masonry features.
When shopping for a fire pit, take into account its BTU rating to assess how warm it will be. This measurement shows how much heat the firepit produces per hour; typically listed in BTUs per square inch or kW. Typically speaking, higher BTU ratings equate to warmer fires – although your own perception may vary based on other factors like your metabolism, body size and health conditions.
Once you’ve chosen the ideal fire pit, complement it with matching patio chairs and benches. When positioning seating around a gas fire pit, leave 18″-24″ between its edges and the fire feature. A circular fire pit allows for comfortable movement while providing everyone a clear view of its flames, while square designs may work better with sectional seating setups. Add decorative stones around the base of the fire pit for added atmosphere and to create an impressive focal point, and provide safety precautions against children who might stray too near to open flames. Or consider installing a wind guard to block breezes and maintain safety.
Cushions
Addition of cushions can add comfort and an updated appearance to patio furniture, while protecting it from summer’s intense UV rays that cause faded colors and the deterioration of materials such as teak. A few simple steps such as using protective covers when not in use or storing the piece in a shaded area could prevent this damage from occurring.
Williams Sonoma Home offers an expansive selection of outdoor sofa and chair upgrades as well as add-on options, from cushioned armchairs that adjust to body temperature to heated seat pads – designed to enhance comfort levels of any piece of furniture and make it more inviting.
Standard foam cushions feature a 1.8 density foam core wrapped with crown padding and then covered by fabric fiber wrap and down-proof ticking, all wrapped up into one package. They offer firm support with smooth surfaces while still being conformable. While sitting on it will change its shape slightly over time, so regular fluffing will be necessary in order to restore loft and dimension; it certainly is not suitable for those unwilling to maintain.
This cushion series is similar to the Spring Fiber seat but adds feathers and down for extra softness and plushness that designers seek. As with its counterpart, All-Foam cushions, however, this one will puddle under normal usage and become soft over time.
One key consideration when selecting cushions is stitch type. Boxed edged cushions feature more traditional stitching with sidewalls while knife edge cushions have no such sidewall and instead offer a finished look similar to an arrow or pointed shape in thicknesses from one to two inches.
