Material Guide: Timber
A step-by-step guide on how to care for your Timber.
When cared for correctly, timber will age like fine wine becoming a future heirloom that will last decades. As a natural material, it characterises over time, adapting to its environment and use.
Wear and tear is an inevitable quality of most materials, but there are ways to slow this process with your timber. Here are some simple steps to clean and maintain your timber pieces.
1. Maintenance & Care
If placed close to a fireplace or in a heavily air-conditioned environment, this will create movement in the timber.
Avoid placing hot items like drinks directly onto surfaces and always use drink coasters, placemats or tablecloths.
Apply protective pads to the undersides of items displayed on countertops to help avoid scratching the timber.
2. Cleaning
Clean the surface frequently with a clean damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid oils, butter and grease including spills of these liquids.
When cleaning, avoid harsh chemical cleaning products, instead we recommend choosing a cleanser that is free of acidic detergents, bleach and abrasive properties.
A natural hard wax (clear matte finish) can be applied to further help retain the showroom finish every 12 months.
