How does resin type affect the noise level of composite outdoor chairs when moved?
The noise level of composite outdoor chairs when moved is significantly influenced by the type of resin used in their construction. Resins like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) tend to produce less noise due to their flexible and dampening properties, which absorb vibrations. In contrast, harder resins such as polycarbonate or fiberglass-reinforced varieties may create more scraping or clattering sounds, especially on hard surfaces like concrete or wood decks. The chair's design, including leg caps or rubberized feet, can further mitigate noise, but the resin's inherent characteristics play a foundational role. For quieter outdoor seating, opting for chairs made with softer, more flexible resins is often the best choice.
