Are PVC bar stools heavier than polypropylene alternatives?
When choosing bar stools, material weight is a key factor for stability and portability. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bar stools are generally heavier than polypropylene alternatives due to their denser composition. PVC is a rigid plastic, often reinforced for durability, which adds to its weight. Polypropylene, on the other hand, is a lighter, more flexible plastic, making it easier to move but potentially less sturdy.
The weight difference depends on design and thickness, but PVC stools typically weigh 20-30% more. This makes PVC ideal for fixed seating, while polypropylene suits spaces requiring frequent rearrangement. Consider your needs—weight impacts both functionality and ease of use.
