Can WM Slides Withstand Extreme Temperatures and Weather Conditions?
Operators and owners frequently ask if WM slides can perform reliably through harsh climates. Extreme temperature swings, UV exposure, and severe weather create real operational challenges. Understanding material durability and required maintenance is key—explore how WM slides meet industry demands for resilience and longevity.
Weather Resistance: Designed for Global Climates
- Advanced Materials: WM slides use High Quality, corrosion-resistant fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP), engineered for temperature fluctuations and strong UV radiation.
- Global Installations: WM slides are installed worldwide, from desert heat to icy northern climates, performing consistently in both.
- Protective Coatings: The gelcoat layer on every slide resists fading, chalking, and chemical exposure, maintaining vivid colors and safe traction.
- Industry Standards: Slides meet or exceed IAAPA and ASTM International safety and weather resistance recommendations.

Extreme Temperature Performance
- Heat Endurance: WM slides maintain structural stability up to 60°C (140°F), with no warping or deformation.
- Cold Flexibility: Engineered resins prevent brittleness at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), minimizing cracking and splintering.
- Thermal Expansion: Precision-engineered joints accommodate slide contraction/expansion, preventing leaks and stress fractures.
Resistance to Severe Weather Conditions
- UV Protection: Special UV inhibitors in coatings protect against long-term sun degradation.
- Storm Readiness: Structural supports and hardware are corrosion-resistant, tested for wind and salt-spray exposure in hurricane-prone regions.
- Moisture Barrier: Non-porous surfaces resist water penetration, mold, and mildew, even with heavy rainfall or humidity.
