*Please ensure your tables are not kept in direct sunlight, if they are kept on a covered patio please still ensure a breathable cover is placed on the table when not in use to protect it from the elements, If they have been sealed with Rubio Monocoat please only use Rubio monocoat products to clean and maintain your furniture. Keep tables well oiled and hydrated especially in provinces with a dryer climate than Durban.
Resin tables:
Long term direct sunlight will lead to oxidation and discolouration. High temperature may cause cracking and can affect the shape of the table. Keep the table away from heat sources, fireplaces, heat pumps etc. High temperature may cause cracking and can affect the shape of the table.
Please do not leave any table or table with resin work outside or in any heat or sunlight.
Please note should you reside outside of Durban and should the climate be alot dryer than Durban, there may be some settlement and movement on the table and some cracks and join splitting may occur, if this does occur it will happen within the first 2 weeks of it settling in its new environment, please be advised of this Risk. This is only when working with Hardwood live edge and glass inlay tables. Should this happen we will gladly repair the table however it will be for the client to bring the table to us and have it collected. This isn't a manufacturing fault it is just that hard wood can be temperamental especially in extreme weather conditions, make sure tables are always kept in a well ventilated area, away from constant sunlight and heat and that they are always well treated.
*All our wood items are treated before we deliver and have certification from an accredited entomologist. Please note these certificates are only valid for 6 months.
