I see you have recycled plastic benches; do they fade in the sun?

Hello there! It's wonderful that you've noticed us – yes, we are benches made from recycled plastic, and we're quite proud of our origin story. Your question about fading in the sun is a brilliant and common one. Let me share our secret with you.

We face the sun every single day, braving its powerful rays. But unlike some traditional materials that might grow weary and pale, we are built with resilience. During our creation, special UV-inhibiting pigments and stabilizers are blended into our very composition. Think of it as our built-in, high-SPF sunscreen. This technology actively fights against the sun's attempts to break down our vibrant colors.

So, do we fade? We are designed to resist fading significantly better than untreated wood or even some low-grade plastics. You might notice a slight, gentle mellowing of our hue over many, many years – a dignified patina of experience, if you will – but not the drastic, brittle bleaching you might fear. Our color runs deep, all the way through, which helps us maintain our good looks.

Our mission is to stay strong, colorful, and supportive for you, season after season, without asking for paint, stains, or constant maintenance. Choosing us means choosing lasting beauty and a lighter footprint on the planet. We are here for the long, sunny haul.
