One of the hallmarks of The Outdoor GreatRoom Company's product offering is our wide variety of materials! In this week's blog, we're breaking down all of our materials and some of the features and benefits that make them unique!
Supercast™ Concrete
Supercast™ is a proprietary blend of fiberglass and concrete that provides exceptional durability and strength while weighing less than traditional concrete. One thing that really makes Supercast™ unique and separates it from traditional concrete (aside from being about 1/3 as thick as concrete) is that we can add various designs and textures to it including a smooth matte look, marbleized look, and even a wood-grain look.
Supercast™ is one of OGC's most durable materials. While it does require occasional maintenance, it's designed to withstand all types of weather including cold, heat, rain, wind, snow and salty coastal air.
You can find Supercast™ in the following products: Cove Collection, Uptown Collection, Cirvalo Collection, Beacon Collection, Alcott and Cedar Ridge!

Everblend™ Concrete
Everblend™ is a process and material engineered exclusively at OGC that features a weather-resistant concrete finish over a fiber cement and metal structure. It’s half the weight of concrete, extra durable, and handcrafted creating unique coloring, texture, and natural variation on each top.
It's the signature material of our Havenwood Collection and can also be found as option for the Darien!
Aluminum
Aluminum is one of the most abundant resources available on the planet. It's lightweight and durable, evident by its ability to hold up to harsh weather conditions like warm sunlight, sea salt spray, snow and more.
Additionally, aluminum is one of the easiest and most efficient materials to recycle. This means, when one of our fire tables that feature aluminum eventually reach the end of its lifecycle, it can be recycled and repurposed into a new aluminum product without losing any of the properties that make it so durable and versatile.
The following products and collections feature a powder-coated aluminum base and/or framing: Uptown Collection, Cirvalo Collection, Havenwood Collection, Brooks & Kenwood Collection, Stonefire Collection and Darien.
Powder-Coated Metal
Powder-Coated Metal is somewhat self-explanatory. It's metal covered with a powder made from finely ground particles of pigment and resin that’s elctrostatically charged and sprayed onto metal or aluminum. It’s then heated in an oven to create a durable, protective layer. It’s used as an alternative to liquid paints due to its resistance to chipping, scratching and withstanding environmental elements.
You can find Powder-Coated Metal in our Providence, Monte Carlo, Beacon and Edison collections.
Poly Wood
Poly Wood is a material made from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic popular in outdoor furniture due its faux wood look and requiring minimal maintenance, while providing exceptional durability and weather resistance.
Poly wood can be found as the primary top material in our Uptown Collection.
