The Tropitone® brand was originally established as a commercial brand in 1954 when car travel was starting to boom in the USA. As travelers became familiar with Tropitone® brand products at hotels and resorts, they began asking where they could buy such comfortable, stylish and high quality products for their homes. Tropitone decided to fill that demand by offering commercial-quality products for sale at retail.

Tropitone changed the standards for an entire industry by applying the rigorous product and service requirements of the highly demanding commercial market to the residential market. We have broad and deep portfolios of products specifically designed for commercial and residential outdoor spaces, all with the same standards of excellence.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING
Tropitone has incorporated fire pits as an integral addition to our brand's table line. The models are beautiful, functional and coordinate with our current product offerings. But, most importantly, safety was designed into each model and each model has been certified by an independent agency.

The design allows for the combination of one of the Tropitone® brand's four most popular table top designs with a single common base in multiple finishes. Each fire pit and table is shipped fully assembled and includes table top, base and burner system.

Various media for fire pit burner pans are readily available in the marketplace and can be used with Tropitone® Fire Pits. Tropitone offers Bronze Reflective Fire Glass and Fire Pebbles, which can be ordered separately.

Tropitone® Fire Pits have received a listing from ICC Evaluation Service, LLC (ICC-ES) of Whittier, CA, providing evidence that the fire pits meet code requirements. Building officials, architects, contractors, specifiers, designers and others will utilize the ICC-ES PMG (Plumbing, Mechanical and Fuel Gas) listing to provide a basis for use of Tropitone® Fire Pits under ANSI Z21.97-2010, Outdoor Decorative Gas Appliance, Listing Number PMG-1114. The products have also been evaluated under the applicable International Codes published by ICC. The ICC-ES PMG program is accredited by the American National Standards Institute. The program operates under ISO/IEC Guide 65, "General Requirements for Bodies Operating Product Certification Systems."

Tropitone® Fire Pits transform a passive table into an warm, fun experience.

CAREFREE COMFORT FOR ALL OCCASIONS
The pace is fast and the time has come to relax and refresh in a carefree style. Morning coffee on the balcony before the day truly begins. A quick dip in the pool before lunch. A beverage at sunset just before dinner is served. Tropitone® sling seating provides comfortable and easy-to-maintain alternatives for all occasions.

Sling seating is the perfect combination of clean lines, designer fabrics and carefree maintenance. Soft, comfortable and durable sling fabrics are especially designed for a fast paced lifestyle. No muss, no fuss, no worries.

Sling and Relaxed Sling

Traditional single-layer slings offer a combination of clean lines, designer fabrics and carefree maintenance. Tropitone collaborated with key fabric suppliers to create a better system to guide customers through the selection of fabrics for traditional single-layer slings. Tropitone’s strong presence in both commercial and residential outdoor patio furniture gives us a unique perspective on the performance of sling fabrics in a wide range of applications. We combined our knowledge of fabric performance with fabric supplier specifications to create the system.

The single-layer sling fabric selection system is currently in use. Tropitone has shared its findings with its key fabric suppliers and is collaborating with them to improve current fabrics and create future fabrics. This collaboration will result in a wider assortment of fabrics designed specifically for traditional single-layer sling seating that are both beautiful and durable. Tropitone’s proprietary sling fabric selection system sets the performance standard for the industry.

Duplex Slings

Double-layer duplex slings further enhance the sling design by including an extensive assortment of color-coordinated cushion fabrics for the top layer. These fabrics previously could not be used for sling applications, except as the top layer of a padded sling. The use of different coordinated fabrics for the top and bottom layers greatly expands design flexibility. The double-layer design also offers added durability.

Padded Slings

Padded slings follow the double-layer design of duplex slings with the addition of fiberfill between the two layers of fabric. This design combines the clean lines of slings with the comfort of cushions. Padded slings are an elegant bridge between the two designs.
