What are the fire resistance properties of plastic-based outdoor ottomans?
Plastic-based outdoor ottomans are popular for their durability and weather resistance, but their fire resistance properties are equally important for safety. Most high-quality plastic ottomans are treated with flame-retardant additives to meet industry safety standards. These materials are designed to resist ignition and slow flame spread, reducing fire hazards. However, not all plastic ottomans are equally fire-resistant—look for certifications like UL or ASTM to ensure compliance. Always check manufacturer specifications for detailed fire performance ratings before purchasing. Proper placement away from open flames or heat sources further enhances safety.
