While the material has a 12 year lifespan indoors, it has a 4 year vertical lifespan outdoors (3 years in desert sun). This is all dependent on UV light exposure. Horizontal outdoor decoration is not recommended by LG as exposure to maximum sunlight and environmental conditions can cause color change, loss of gloss, chalking and premature failure.
