What are the effects of prolonged UV exposure on the elasticity of PVC outdoor ottomans?
Prolonged UV exposure can significantly impact the elasticity of PVC outdoor ottomans, leading to material degradation over time. UV rays break down the polymer chains in PVC, causing it to become brittle and less flexible. This reduces the ottoman's durability and comfort, making it prone to cracks and breaks. To mitigate these effects, consider using UV-resistant coatings or storing the furniture in shaded areas when not in use. Regular maintenance and protective measures can extend the lifespan of your PVC outdoor ottomans.
