Aluminium

Our powder-coated aluminium is a versatile, rust and weather-resistant choice for outdoor furniture in a variety of colours. Regularly clean with multisurface cleaner or mild detergent and water, using a dry cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive products or tools that can cause scratches in the coating.

Store or shelter products during extended periods of non-use as prolonged UV exposure can alter the characteristics of the coloured coating.

Teak

Teak has excellent weather-resistance and natural variation in colour and texture. To retain its colour, treat the surface with a teak cleaner and protector at least twice a year.

If wood is delivered untreated, treat before use. Without care, teak can develop a silver patina. To restore, sand, polish with a jute cloth, and apply the teak cleaner. Clean minor stains with a soft, lukewarm cloth. If needed, sand the affected surface, polish with the cloth, and apply the teak cleaner.

Ceramics / Porcelain

Ceramic is low-maintenance, resistant to stains, and very hygienic due to its low porous surface. Spills are easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent or multi-surface cleaner. Avoid strong chemicals like abrasive cleaning products. Less maintenance means more time to relax.

Fabric and Ropes

Since fabric and ropes are made of fibres, gentle cleaning is advised. Brush off any dirt and use a non-abrasive cloth with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. For fabrics, wash at 30°C. Avoid the use of harsh detergents or solvents. Rinse with soft pressure water and/or a soft cloth to protect from deterioration. Dry with a cloth or air dry.

Umbrellas & Canopies

  • Do not force your umbrella open; it should open gently. If it does not, please ensure it is not caught on an object or anything else. Forcing it could damage the frame and/or the lifting mechanism.
  • Close the umbrella when not in use, this will reduce the chance of damaging the frame in adverse weather conditions.
  • Rinse with fresh water periodically to keep your umbrella in good condition.
