What are the effects of prolonged shade on the durability of WPC sculptures?

Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) sculptures are popular for their durability and low maintenance, but prolonged exposure to shade can impact their longevity. While WPC is resistant to moisture and UV rays, consistent shade can lead to moisture retention, promoting mold or mildew growth. Additionally, lack of sunlight may slow the curing process of protective coatings, reducing their effectiveness. To maintain WPC sculptures in shaded areas, regular cleaning and proper ventilation are essential. Understanding these effects helps preserve the aesthetic and structural integrity of outdoor WPC art.
