If your balcony, patio, or deck receives intense afternoon sun, you're right to wonder if your urban outdoor furniture will become too hot to use. The short answer is: it depends heavily on the material. Direct sunlight can significantly heat up surfaces, making some materials uncomfortable or even unsafe to touch. Metals like aluminum or steel can become very hot, while dark-colored cushions absorb and retain heat. However, materials like textured wood, certain composites, and light-colored, breathable fabrics tend to stay cooler. To manage heat, consider using umbrellas, shade sails, or breathable furniture covers. Choosing furniture designed with sun exposure in mind—featuring heat-resistant finishes and light colors—can transform your sunny space into a comfortable oasis all afternoon.
My space gets full sun all afternoon, will this urban outdoor furniture get too hot to touch?
