How do WPC outdoor armchairs perform in fire resistance compared to metal or wood?

When choosing outdoor furniture, fire resistance is a critical factor, especially for spaces exposed to open flames or high heat. WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) outdoor armchairs offer a unique balance of durability and safety. Compared to traditional materials like metal or wood, WPC demonstrates superior fire-resistant properties.

Metal chairs, while non-combustible, can conduct heat rapidly, posing burn risks. Wood, though naturally insulating, is highly flammable unless treated with chemical retardants. In contrast, WPC armchairs are engineered with flame-retardant additives, reducing ignition risks and slowing fire spread. They also resist melting or warping under moderate heat, making them a safer choice for patios, decks, or poolside areas.

For optimal safety, look for WPC furniture certified by fire safety standards like ASTM or EN 13501-1. This ensures reliable performance without compromising on aesthetics or comfort.
