Maintenance and Treatment of Solid Teak Furniture.

Our furniture is untreated, because most customers prefer it this way. If the furniture is left outside throughout all seasons it will develop a silvery-grey patina which actually helps protect the wood.
But furniture, which is left outside, does get dirty from air pollution, algae etc. Therefore, it should be cleaned at least twice a year in soap water, and for heavily polluted furniture we recommend using KIRCODAN CLEANER.

If you wish to recreate as much as possible of the fresh teak colour you may do so either by a light sanding or, even more easily, by treatment with KIRCODAN BASIS CLEANER. If the furniture is kept under cover it patinates much more slowly; but all wood fades with time when exposed to light. A deeper golden colour can be obtained by regular treatment with KIRCODAN TEAK OIL.

Our extension tables should not be left outside in rainy weather. If these tables get wet, the pull out mechanism may jam, even though we have added extra tolerance in the groove guides to absorb wood expansion. They will work again when the timber dries out.

Textilene

Textilene is an open weave synthetic fabric. UV and meldow resistant, highly durable and maintenance free. Wash only with brush or sponge and a light soap and water solution and let dry naturally.

Polyrattan

A reproduction of natural rattan of a synthetic composition requires no maintenance other than washing with light soap and water solution.

HPL Table Tops

HPL or high pressure laminate consists of layers of specially selected paper impregnated with thermo-setting synthetic resin and pressed under heat and very high pressure. The surface layer is melamine-based resin to give high resistance against abrasion, shock and impact as well as heat and discolouration.
