There are numerous reasons to purchase Polywood furniture. One of them is that they are prepared from HDPE. The following are a few frequently asked questions by people who are about to buy these furniture pieces:
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is an extremely durable plastic constructed from recycled items. It is impervious to rain, sunshine, ice, snow, and even salt water. It is also famously known for its exceptional strength-to-density ratio.
Polywood chairs weigh around 30 to 50 lbs each. Similar to the weight of hardwood chairs, the Polywood's weight makes it less likely to be blown by strong winds. These chairs are tremendously strong as they are created with quality materials.
This furniture can be washed using soap and water. In order to deep clean this furniture, it is best to use a solution of 2/3 water and 1/3 bleach. These furniture pieces can also be cleaned using a power washer to keep them looking new.
Light sanding can be used to buff some minor scratches on the furniture pieces because Polywood is a pre-mixed material with similar texture and color throughout. Since the outermost surface will be smooth and take on a patina over time, there may be slight color or texture differences when this is done. Sanding should be done in moderation as needed.
More than 90% of Polywood plastic lumber is constructed from HDPE and is recycled utilizing post-consumer bottle waste and post-industrial material like milk and detergent bottles.
Since HDPE does not absorb water, the furniture can be left outside all year without being covered. In very high UV environments, covering furniture pieces can help provide them with additional protection. Keep in mind that uncovered furniture will get dirt, dust, and pollen buildups, as well as those natural gifts left by birds and other precious outdoor wildlife. While many people prefer to cover their furniture for that reason, it is not required to keep the furniture safe.
Giving the furniture an extended lifespan, Polywood lumber is saturated with UV inhibitive pigment systems. This greatly reduces fading, which helps keep the furniture looking new.
Since all of the furniture pieces receive the treatment of UV stabilizers, they are greatly resistant to fading. The color of Polywood furniture is saturated in the material itself and is long lasting.
