How to prevent composite material outdoor ottomans from thermal shock?

Composite material outdoor ottomans are popular for their durability and aesthetic appeal, but they can be vulnerable to thermal shock—sudden temperature changes that cause cracking or warping. Here’s how to protect them:

1. Choose High-Quality Materials: Opt for UV-stabilized and thermally resistant composite materials designed for outdoor use.

2. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Place ottomans in shaded areas or use covers to minimize exposure to extreme heat.

3. Gradual Temperature Changes: Move furniture indoors during extreme weather or cover it to buffer sudden shifts.

4. Regular Maintenance: Clean with mild soap and water to prevent material degradation.

5. Use Protective Coatings: Apply weather-resistant sealants to enhance thermal shock resistance.

By following these steps, you can extend the lifespan of your outdoor ottomans and keep them looking great year-round.
