FURNITURE CARE

REPURPOSED TIMBER
This is a mix of reclaimed or repurposed Scandinavian European softwoods. The tops may have ridges, marks, holes or other types of imperfections. It will not be 100% level as this is the intended authentic appearance. The timber is kiln dried to approx. 15-20% moisture content so we suggest the items are not placed near direct sunlight or any direct heat sources like radiators or underfloor heating for at least 2-4 weeks once delivered.
 

The timber will need to acclimatise to its new environment due to being stored in our industrial warehouses and workshops where ambient temperature is lower than a central heated home. For outdoor use we suggest covering in the winter months to protect from frost and harsh weather, make sure to treat as per our recommendations below and make sure the wood is dry before covering.
 

Finishes
Please don’t use multi-room or anti-bac sprays, as this may lead to staining.
Oil: We suggest the timber to be re-oiled every 3-6 months using Linseed or Danish Oil. Clean with warm water and do not use harsh cleaning products as this will cause staining, buff dry and do not let any liquids to dry naturally as this will affect the finish and course roughness.
 

Wax, Dark Oak, Grey & Whitewash:
Wax, Dark oak, grey wash, and whitewash all have a natural wax coating as a final finish to protect the wood. With any wax finish do not place hot or damp items directly to the wood surface as they may cause marking. We suggest using coasters and place mats at all times. Clean with warm water and do not use harsh cleaning products as this will cause staining, buff dry and do not let any water to dry naturally as this will affect the finish. We suggest re-waxing as often as possible when you first receive your order to build a good protective barrier and then every 3-6 months. Make sure to buff to a sheen.
 

OAK, WALNUT, ASH & OTHER TIMBER’S
We are also use other varieties of timber which are classed as hardwoods. These hardwoods are all kiln dried to below 15%. These give a more modern appearance with a flat surface.

STEEL
Most of our table bases and furniture are made from mild raw steel. The standard finish of the steel is unfinished which gives it a raw authentic appearance. In this state the furniture is to be only be used indoors. We suggest cleaning the steel with WD-40 or white spirts every 3-6 months, this is will also prevent rust spots appearing. You can add clear bees wax if you wish to make cleaning easier.
 

Please make sure not mop around the base frames as water will sit under the steel and cause rusting which can cause damage to flooring. Make sure any split drinks are also cleaned away appropriately so no moisture is left under or on the steel.
 

Because the items are of an industrial nature they MUST be checked for any oil, dirt or excess finish residue before entering the home or being placed in situ. Extra care must be considered before placing on light coloured flooring.
 

For outdoor applications, the steel must be powder coated to prevent rusting and make weatherproof.
All items come with plastic protective feet.
 

GLASS
We use toughed safety glass. Clean with a standard household glass cleaner. Never use harsh or abrasive applications as this may cause scratches.
Any other surfaces please contact us.
