Will lumber colors fade over time due to sun exposure?
Prolonged sun exposure can cause some fading in any material. However, POLYWOOD lumber is made with high-density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) and other sustainable materials. Before being extruded into lumber, we blend light-stable pigments, UV inhibitors, and stabilizers. This process ensures fade-resistant colors that stay vibrant even after years of sun, rain, and use.
FAQs:
Q: Does the color in POLYWOOD run all the way through the lumber?
A: Yes, the color you see on the surface of genuine POLYWOOD lumber runs throughout the material—it's not a veneer.
Q: What can I do to protect my furniture from fading?
A: To ensure long-lasting color, store your furniture when it’s not in use or use protective covers. Although POLYWOOD does not sell furniture covers directly, you can purchase covers from retailers like Coverstore.
