Woven urban outdoor furniture is specifically engineered to offer significant resistance to fading from UV rays. The primary resistance comes from the materials used and protective treatments applied during manufacturing.
High-quality synthetic resins, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), are the most common materials. These are inherently UV-stabilized during the polymer creation process, meaning UV inhibitors are mixed into the material itself before it's extruded into yarn. This provides long-term, bulk protection that won't wash or wear off.
Furthermore, many premium brands apply additional solution-dyed pigments. In this process, color is integrated into the molten synthetic material, making it fade-resistant throughout the entire strand, not just on the surface. For an extra layer of defense, some furniture features a protective UV-resistant lacquer or coating.
While no material is completely 100% fade-proof forever, high-quality UV-stabilized and solution-dyed woven furniture exhibits excellent fade resistance. It can maintain its color integrity for many years under direct sunlight, significantly outperforming non-treated materials or natural fibers. To maximize this resistance, occasional cleaning and the use of protective covers during extreme weather are recommended.
