CARE & MAINTENANCE
Varieties of materials are used in construction of “Outdoor” furniture ranges.
All will require some form of maintenance to extend the life of finishes and general appearance.
Please see below instruction unique to your chosen product.
Buren Range Construction;
Table Tops: Tempered Glass
Frame: Aluminium
External Covering: Synthetic Wicker
Textile: Polyester
Glass:
Glass used is tempered for your safety; best results are to use placemats & coasters to avoid
scratching surface. Keep dust free, with floating glass please lift and clean underside of glass
with a soft clean cloth. Use of normal glass cleaning product is permissible but please rinse
surrounding areas with clean water to avoid damage to wicker or paint on aluminium frame
Aluminium Frame:
The majority of frames are mainly produced from aluminium, with the main benefit being a
light weight product for easier use. Some designs require steel to be used in certain sections for
added strength. While aluminium is rust resistant, bare metal can show signs of oxidation (red
film) this does not constitute rust. Simply you are able to wipe or sand surface to remove
oxidation mark.
Note you will need to touch up affected area with paint to stop from reoccurring. Steel itself has
a lower resistance to elements than aluminium and will show signs of rust as it ages. Limited
exposure & maintenance are best solutions for adding life to any furniture used in outside
areas.
Aluminium Frame Maintenance
Use a bucket filled with warm water & a soft soap, sponge over frame till clean, once clean rinse
off with a hose, pat dry with a soft clean cloth before use. Every 4-6 weeks.
Note when cleaning if you find scratches in paint please cover with a paint to prevent oxidation.
Synthetic Wicker Fibre Information
Synthetic Wicker fibre (commonly referred to as resin wicker) is made of polyethylene
combined with colour & UV stabilizer. While the UV stabilizer adds to the life of the synthetic
fibre, the effectiveness of stabilizer diminishes with age.
Longevity of use cannot be judge as environmental conditions and are too varied to set a
standard. Protection from the harsh outdoor conditions (I.e. Sunlight, pollution) is best for a
longer period of use.
Synthetic Wicker Fibre Maintenance
Use a bucket filled with warm water & a soft soap, sponge over fibre till clean once clean rinse
off with a hose, pat dry with a soft clean cloth before use. Regular regime.
