"TL;DR: Yes, the Heirloom Planter is UV safe. Aluminum does not warp, crack, or become brittle from UV exposure. The external paint may fade in colour over time with heavy direct sunlight, but this is cosmetic only and does not affect the planter's function or structure.
Why aluminum holds up outdoors
Unlike plastic, aluminum does not degrade under UV radiation. It will not crack, warp, or become brittle regardless of how much sun it sees, making it a solid choice for balconies, patios, and outdoor setups.
What to expect with the paint finish
The paint on the external surface may fade with prolonged sun exposure. This is a surface-level change only and does not affect the structural integrity of the planter."
