What are the effects of algae growth on composite outdoor chair surfaces?

Algae growth on composite outdoor chair surfaces can lead to several negative effects, including discoloration, surface degradation, and potential structural weakening over time. The moisture-retentive nature of algae promotes further microbial growth, making the chairs appear unsightly and reducing their lifespan. Additionally, algae can create slippery surfaces, posing safety risks. Regular cleaning with mild detergents and proper storage during wet seasons can help prevent algae buildup. Choosing algae-resistant composite materials or applying protective coatings can also minimize these issues, ensuring long-lasting outdoor furniture.
