Product Care & Maintainence
Timber care and maintenance
Timber products have a multi coat finish applied to the timber furniture. Timber is a natural product and there will be natural variations in texture and grain such as knots, mineral streaks and sap veins that may affect the finish.
These differences in character are not defects, but natural distinctions that make each piece of furniture unique.
The following these steps for basic care and maintenance should help to protect your product for years to come.
Dust frequently with a clean damp lint-free cloth to remove any dust or grit which can damage a finish over time.
Occasionally use a light application of a high-quality furniture polish to enhance the finish. Avoid using oil polishes or waxes.
Do not place hot items directly on any furniture surface. Always use a coaster when placing a hot item on furniture. Finished surfaces on table tops provide added scratch and heat resistance , but they can still be damaged without proper care.
"Avoid exposing your furniture to direct sunlight, heat sources, open windows or dampness. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the finish of your furniture, while extreme temperature and humidity changes can cause cracking or splitting.
