Are PVC loungers prone to melting near grills or fireplaces?

PVC loungers are popular for their affordability and durability, but their heat resistance is a common concern, especially when placed near grills or fireplaces. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has a relatively low melting point, typically around 160-210°F (70-100°C), making it susceptible to warping or melting when exposed to high heat. Grills and fireplaces can emit temperatures far exceeding this range, posing a risk to PVC furniture.

To prevent damage, keep PVC loungers at a safe distance from open flames or intense heat sources. Consider using heat-resistant materials like metal or treated wood for areas near grills or fireplaces. Regular maintenance and avoiding direct sunlight for prolonged periods can also extend the lifespan of PVC loungers. Always check manufacturer guidelines for specific heat tolerance recommendations.
