What is the expected lifespan of a WPC outdoor armchair under varying climatic conditions?

The lifespan of a Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) outdoor armchair depends heavily on the climatic conditions it is exposed to. WPC is known for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it a popular choice for outdoor furniture. In moderate climates with minimal extreme weather, a WPC armchair can last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. However, in harsher environments—such as areas with intense UV exposure, heavy rainfall, or extreme temperature fluctuations—the lifespan may shorten to 7-10 years.

Key factors affecting longevity include UV protection, moisture resistance, and the quality of the WPC material. Regular cleaning and occasional sealing can extend its life. Compared to traditional wood, WPC requires less upkeep but still benefits from care to maintain its appearance and structural integrity. For optimal performance, choose WPC armchairs with added weather-resistant coatings and store them indoors during severe weather when possible.
