FLEXISTEEL^TM PHYSICAL PROPERTY TESTING*

For the comparison, three sets of products were used: A control set of unexposed product, a 3000 hour QUV exposure set, and a 5000 hour QUV exposure set. Note that these test results were obtained on natural unpigmented Flexisteel^TM. Pigmented Flexisteel^TM provides even more improved weathering characteristics than the natural material .
