The Use of Resin in Outdoor Resin Wicker Furniture

Last Modified February 21, 2018 By Staff Writer

When choosing a collection of outdoor resin wicker furniture, there’s a lot that a homeowner needs to consider. Harsh weather and constant exposure to the sun can threaten to destroy furniture, while high traffic areas such as patios and gardens provide their own host of concerns for furniture’s durability and longevity. Thankfully, there is a material that can protect your furniture from some of the outdoors biggest threats and that material is: resin.

What is Resin?

The term resin wicker furniture can be a bit misleading for shoppers, suggesting the material may be synthetic when it’s actually quite the opposite! Resin is a naturally occurring substance that is produced by a variety of plants and trees. This thick, sap-like liquid is created as the plant’s response to injury and can quickly harden into a permanent, impenetrable shell to protect against things like wind, rain and destructive insects.

When applied as a finish to the reeds used in your outdoor wicker furniture, these protective qualities serve the exact same purpose. By coating your furniture with such a powerful barrier, you can increase its lifespan by years!

What are the Benefits of Outdoor Resin Wicker Furniture?

Resin provides a long list of benefits that can make your outdoor wicker furniture both more versatile and more durable. Here are just a few of the upsides to investing in resin wicker furniture.

Resin resists both mildew and moisture-damage.

The smooth outer shell of resin is practically impenetrable by water, even in heavy downpours. Both due to its natural ability to repel water and its airtight structure, resin is incredibly resilient to water damage and the growth of mold and mildew. The same cannot be said for untreated wicker, which can suffer warping, discoloration and even suffer an unpleasant odor if it begins to collect moisture.

Resin doesn’t fade in the sun.

Prolonged sun exposure is notorious for discoloring outdoor wicker furniture and turning strong fibers brittle. Resin can withstand very long periods of exposure to the sun without suffering the same damages, holding it shape, color and strength without variation for much longer than raw wicker.

Resin will not peel.

During its creation, color is directly mixed with resin before it has a chance to harden. This results in color that will not peel or flake like some paints, even when exposed to the elements. Additionally, this process makes it so that cleaning resin wicker furniture is a breeze! There’s no risk to spraying your collection down with the hose and leaving the sun to do the drying for you.
