Stainless steel is actually rust-resistant. This means that the material is highly resistant to corrosion, but not completely impervious to external influences. Especially with prolonged outdoor use, small rust stains can appear.<!--en--><!--en-->The most common cause is flash rust: microscopic metal particles from the air adhere to the surface and begin to oxidize. Additionally, acid rain, sea air, accumulated dirt, and moisture in seams can damage the protective chromium layer. Aggressive cleaning agents such as chlorine or abrasive sponges can also damage the surface. This is a natural reaction to environmental influences and not a manufacturing defect.

Rust spots on stainless steel are usually easy to prevent and remedy. With proper maintenance, your stanchions will retain their luxurious and well-maintained appearance, both indoors and outdoors.
