How does WPC outdoor ottoman maintenance compare to aluminum?
When choosing outdoor furniture, maintenance is a crucial factor. WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) outdoor ottomans and aluminum ottomans each have unique care requirements. WPC ottomans are low-maintenance, resistant to rot, and only need occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. They don’t require painting or sealing, making them a hassle-free option. However, they may fade over time with prolonged sun exposure.
Aluminum ottomans, on the other hand, are highly durable and weather-resistant. They won’t rust or fade easily but may accumulate dirt and require regular wiping. While aluminum is lightweight and sturdy, it can get hot in direct sunlight and may need protective coatings to prevent scratches.
Ultimately, WPC ottomans offer easier upkeep but may need replacement sooner due to wear, while aluminum ottomans demand slightly more attention but last longer. Your choice depends on your climate and willingness to maintain the furniture.
