URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Metal outdoor furniture can become uncomfortably hot and sticky during summer days, creating an unpleasant experience when you try to sit down. The good news is there are several effective strategies to prevent this issue. First, consider using specially designed outdoor furniture covers when the furniture isn't in use. These covers reflect sunlight and prevent direct heating. Alternatively, you can place your metal furniture in shaded areas or under umbrellas to reduce direct sun exposure. For quick relief when you want to sit immediately, lightly mist the surface with water from a spray bottle - the evaporative cooling effect will temporarily lower the temperature. Another solution is to use outdoor cushions or towels as a barrier between your skin and the metal surface. For a more permanent approach, consider applying special heat-reflective paint formulated for metal outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance like cleaning the surface also helps, as dust and debris can sometimes increase heat absorption. If possible, choose lighter colored metal furniture in the future, as dark colors absorb significantly more heat. With these simple methods, you can enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about sticky, uncomfortable metal furniture even on the hottest days.
