What Is Marine Grade Polymer?

In 2012 Windward proudly introduced marine grade polymer (MGP) into its product lineup. Cince then it has expanded by adding new collections each year, and refining the existing ones. MGP is a domestically made material that was originally designed to hold up in salt water environments on boats without fading or breaking down. It eventually made its natural transition to outdoor furnishings.

Key Features:

  • Made from prime High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Will not warp, fade or chemically breakdown even in harsh salt water or chlorinated environments
  • Material has specially formulated UV inhibitors
  • Easy to clean MGP is a non-porous material that won’t absorb dirt, chemicals or liquids (including red wine)
  • Substantial weight is great for windy environments
  • Marine grade stainless steel hardware
  • Significantly stronger, more scratch resistant and durable than furniture from 100% recycled material
