Why Woven Vinyl Cord Chairs Remain Cool in the Sun: The Comfort Science

When the summer sun starts blazing, there's nothing more daunting than having to find outdoor furniture that doesn't turn into a nightmare for the skin. We've all had that uncomfortable feel of sitting down on those hot, tacky plastic and metal chairs—only to jump right back up from them. Such was the problem we solved at Innit Designs: iconic woven vinyl cord chairs for ultimate comfort, even on very hot summer days.

So, what's different in our chairs? Why is the PVC vinyl cord seating and backrest cooler than other plastic or metal furniture? Let's get into some magic behind the design.

Airflow: The Secret to Keeping Cool

Unlike furniture made from solid plastic or metal, which trap heat, our woven design allows for airflow. The thoughtful weave creates small gaps between the cords that let air circulate around you. This natural ventilation keeps the surface temperature of the chair lower, even while it's basking in direct sunlight.

Reflective Properties of Vinyl

Our chairs boast of superior PVC vinyl cords that have been treated to reflect sunlight, rather than absorb it. That subtle reflectivity in itself means the material does not retain much heat, ensuring the chair remains cool to your touch. It is a pretty cool design element you will appreciate every time you sit down on a sunny day.

Minimal Heat Retention

One of the worst things about furniture made of solid plastic is how it can retain and absorb heat, thus becoming uncomfortable for hours. Our chairs' vinyl cords have a very low thermal mass, meaning they give off heat quickly and cool down almost instantly when shaded or exposed to even a light breeze.

Insulation for Comfort

Even when the cords get a little warm, their inherent insulation means that the heat does not transmit to the skin too quickly. Unlike metal or solid plastic, which can feel hot, our vinyl cords are way more comfortable and very easy to handle, no matter for how long they have been under the sun.

Smart Design Meets Style

Another added advantage with our woven design is its versatility in color: we have light, neutral tones that naturally absorb less heat, and even our darker cords will still stay comfortable with the construction in a weave. It's not just about the performance—it’s also about giving you stylish options to complement your outdoor space without sacrificing comfort.

A Sustainable Choice

Beyond the cooling benefits, our chairs are made of durable, sustainable materials that are easy to clean and maintain. Whether you are holding a party in the pool or having a quiet evening on your patio, with every passing summer, you can always count on your Innit chair to keep giving back with style and functionality.
