Product Care
Proper care and maintenance of your furniture is essential for longevity, it's important that you enjoy your new furniture for many, many years.
TEAK
Teak has always been a prized material for building due to its unique properties. Teak has an abundance of natural oils and rubber, making it perfect for outdoor settings. The oils and rubber protect the wood from becoming dry and it also adds a natural resistance to things like fungi and parasites that can destroy other types of wood. Teak is so versatile that it is often reclaimed from old structures and given new life as furniture. As the teak weathers, the wood goes from a golden honey colour to a slivery-grey appearance.
TEAK MAINTENANCE
Teak requires very little maintenance other than wiping down after use and the occasional dusting, this will give the furniture its naturally occurring weathered look. If you wish to maintain the new golden honey brown, follow the simple but necessary steps. Soon after purchasing your teak furniture, it is best to use a teak sealant and continue to apply once or twice yearly. Doing this will maintain the golden honey tone. Make sure you clean your teak furniture and allow it to dry completely before using sealant. During the first twelve months your furniture will require the bolts to be tightened a few times until the timber has settled, it's also recommended to check bolts tightness the following years too. If particularly dirty, you will need a soft plastic brush, mild soap and water. Starting at the base of the furniture, work your way up, going with the grain of the wood. To remove any stains or grease marks you can sand over the affected area before resealing.
ALUMINIUM MAINTENANCE
Aluminium is light weight, strong, durable and requires low maintenance to keep it looking great. Aluminium outdoor furniture is finished with polyester powder coating to prevent oxidization (rust) and increases protecting against scratching. To ensure years of outdoor use, every few months simply hose the surface and underside of the furniture. If particularly dirty after hosing wash with soapy water to remove any remaining sediment and rinse with water.
