How does prolonged shade affect mold growth on resin composite benches?

Prolonged shade can significantly increase the risk of mold growth on resin composite benches due to reduced sunlight and prolonged moisture retention. Resin composite materials, while durable, are porous and can trap moisture in shaded areas, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew. Without regular sunlight to dry the surface, organic debris and humidity accelerate fungal development. To prevent mold, ensure proper ventilation, clean benches regularly, and consider relocating them to sunnier spots periodically. Understanding these factors helps maintain the longevity and appearance of outdoor resin furniture.
