Outdoor furniture is usually placed in an outdoor space, unavoidably exposed to the sun and rain.
Of course, it also tests the quality and craftsmanship of materials more than indoor furniture.
The choice of materials is particularly critical for this type of furniture.
Outdoor furniture is mainly made of wood, metal and rattan. Traditionally, the wood used to make outdoor furniture includes pineapple grid, teak, pine, plastic wood, etc.
These types of wood have good moisture-proof and anti-cracking properties. Among them, plastic wood materials are the best.
Plastic wood, also known as wood plastic: The wood plastic composite material contains plastic, so it has a good elastic modulus.
In addition, because it contains fiber and is fully mixed with plastic, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compression resistance and bending resistance equivalent to hardwood, and its durability is significantly better than ordinary wood materials.
The surface hardness is high, generally 2-5 times that of wood.
It has a series of advantages such as environmental protection, pollution-free, recyclable, waterproof, moisture-proof, insect-proof, fire-proof, sun-proof, non-cracking, non-expansion, non-deformation, easy to clean, good sound absorption, etc.
Waterproof and moisture-proof. It fundamentally solves the problem that wood products are easy to rot and swell and deform after absorbing water and damp in humid and watery environments, and can be used in environments where traditional wood products cannot be used.
Therefore, it is widely used in outdoor furniture.
