How does the plastic frame hold up to heavy sun exposure & does it Yellow\Discolor at all?

We live in Arizona and the outside half of this door is in direct (HOT) sunlight in the late afternoon. It turned pretty yellow after about 2-3 summers but it didn't start breaking down (rubber seals dry out, plastic magnet covers that hold flaps closed break) until about 5 years in. The inside half stays relatively light in color but nowhere near new. It's the best dog door we've found for the money, although nothing lasts forever. First door purchased/installed in 2009 - replaced with same model 2014. Hope that helps.

The exterior door that has the pet door installed is south facing and gets a lot of sun. I have been through 2 summers with it and so far no discoloration.

I think it would do fine in heavy sun exposure. My doggie door does have some sun exposure and it has not discolored

I got this case for my son about 2 months ago, and I haven't noticed any discoloration. It hasn't transferred to his clothes or hands and it hasn't rubbed, smeared or faded at all. It still looks pretty much the same as the day we got it. It doesn't seem to be, like, a transferred design where the design was just transferred to the outside of the case. I've been pretty satisfied with the over all quality so far, it's held up well to the stresses and strains a teenage boy regular puts it through lol.

It does, I live in Florida and after about 6 months in the sun all that was left was the frame.

We have had it for about 2 years in the hot California desert sun and it has held up great. Construction is sturdy.

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.

It is a type of hard plastic... we do have it in our kitchen where the sun shines in and have not experienced any degradation of fading. We are very happy with this faucet and would recommend it to anyone.

No. I've had mine in lots of harsh environments, and it is remarkably durable. No discoloration at all.

Hi. It has not faded and has held up well. We live in NY, so the furniture just got pulled out of storage from last October, so it is not exposed to elements all year round. We did have the one armrest table break a week after delivery, but Amazon took care of and sent a new couch. So far so good.

The frame is hard plastic. It is worth the money. It is more beautiful in person.

I'm not a plastic expert. But, no, it hasn't cracked or discolored or changed in appearance in a couple years.

I had 1 of these for my older Grandson and it held up well but did fade a bit. It is still in excellent condition though and I've left it outside for 3 summers now. Hope this helps!

After about 1 year, the metal frame is good as new. The paint has gone from shiny to dull, but no rust is evident. The tables (I have three) are in a relatively dry part of the country. Intense sun, heat, and cold are the norm.

Im not sure how long it would last against the sun. Its heavy plastic with legs that could rust. So for the price it would hold up for a while, but I can't say forever.

The fabric is a matte finish, and while it is very dark, I made a bike cover that was out in the sunshine all the time, and it did fade noticeably after one year. If you are using it inside, you may not have the problem. Even with the fading, it is still very strong, not deteriorating at all, and it has now been almost 3 years.

I've had it for years. It's made of a durable plastic. I run it through the dishwasher and It's still like new no discoloration
