What are the effects of prolonged shade on synthetic rattan outdoor loungers’ material integrity?

Prolonged exposure to shade can significantly affect the material integrity of synthetic rattan outdoor loungers. While synthetic rattan is designed to withstand various weather conditions, consistent lack of sunlight may lead to moisture retention, promoting mold or mildew growth. Additionally, shaded environments often reduce UV exposure, which can slow down the natural aging process but may also cause uneven fading or weakening if the material lacks proper UV-resistant treatments. Over time, prolonged shade may compromise the structural durability of the loungers, making them more susceptible to cracking or brittleness. To maintain longevity, it’s advisable to periodically expose synthetic rattan furniture to sunlight and ensure proper ventilation in shaded areas. Regular cleaning and protective treatments can also help preserve its quality.
