It is indeed necessary to cool down the patio lounge set after prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially during hot summer or periods of intense sunlight. The following is a point by point introduction:
1. Protect the comfort and safety of users
After being exposed to the scorching sun, the surface of the chair, especially the metal or dark colored material parts, may become very hot, and direct contact with the skin may cause burns or discomfort. Cooling treatment can effectively reduce surface temperature and protect the safety and comfort of users.
2. Extend the lifespan of materials
Long term exposure to high temperatures can easily lead to material aging. For example, synthetic vines may become brittle, plastic parts may deform, wooden parts may dry and crack, and even fabric seat cushions may fade or be damaged. Cooling treatment can slow down these deterioration processes and extend the service life of the chair.
3. Reduce the risk of thermal expansion and contraction of metal parts
Metal frames will experience thermal expansion under strong sunlight, and if there is a large temperature difference, it may affect structural stability and even cause screws to loosen or connecting components to be damaged. Appropriate cooling can alleviate the structural pressure caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
4. Simple and effective cooling methods
Spray the surface of the chair with clean water appropriately (avoid non waterproof seat cushions), or cover the hot parts with a damp towel; If using a parasol, sunshade, or moving to a cool place, it can effectively avoid the problem of high temperature.
Prevention in advance is more important than cooling down afterwards
The most effective way is to prevent it in advance, such as covering with sunscreen, using shading facilities, or choosing materials with UV resistance when the sunlight is strong, reducing the risk of overheating from the source and minimizing the need for frequent cooling treatments.
