Aluminum urban outdoor furniture heats up relatively quickly when placed in direct sunlight due to its high thermal conductivity. Within 30 to 60 minutes of exposure on a hot, sunny day, the surface temperature can become significantly warmer than the ambient air, often reaching levels that can be uncomfortable or even unsafe for bare skin. The exact rate depends on several factors including the color of the furniture (darker finishes absorb more heat), the intensity of the sunlight, ambient temperature, and whether the aluminum is painted or coated with a heat-reflective layer. While aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat, it also cools down rapidly once it is moved into the shade. This property means the material does not retain heat for extended periods like wrought iron or stone. For urban settings, choosing lighter-colored aluminum furniture or adding cushions and shade covers can effectively mitigate heat buildup, ensuring your outdoor space remains comfortable and usable even on the sunniest days.
