Protection de la structure et de la visserie
L'acier est un matériau qui exposé aux éléments extérieurs (humidité, vents salins) va naturellement s'oxyder.
Afin de prévenir l'apparition de rouille, la visserie de votre mobilier en acier doit être entretenue régulièrement. Pour cela,
appliquer un aérosol antirouille au moins une fois en début et en fin de saison (disponibles en quincailleries ou magasins de
bricolage). Augmenter la fréquence de traitement tous les 3 mois pour du mobilier exposé aux vents salins en bord de mer.
Si de la rouille apparait malgré tout, elle peut être facilement éliminée avec des produits usuels tels que du vinaigre blanc ou de
l'acide citrique. Un chiffon imbibé de polish automobile peut également vous permettre de faire disparaitre les points de rouille.
Terminer avec un spray antirouille pour protéger la visserie, à appliquer régulièrement.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Epoxy steel is a steel covered with a protective paint against rust.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different assembled elements
(between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried out individually, before
assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance irregularities coming both from the surface treatment
process and assembly operations. The final appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.
2/ Precautions for use
We cannot guarantee the good behavior of this product under difficult atmospheric conditions.
In these conditions, it is recommended not to be under or near the structure.
After each significant bad weather we invite you to check the general condition and the solidity of the structure before use.
The accumulation of water, dead leaves or objects on the roof contributes to its degradation and to that of the structure: be sure
to clean it regularly.
We do not recommend mounting a luminaire or other heat source on the structure.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an alteration of the colours and the
state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the screwed elements.
Exposure to UV rays
Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles, paint, plastics), a phenomenon also due to
the rays of the sun as well as those of the moon. This evolution of colours exposed to external elements is normal and concerns
in particular bright colours.
Tightening
The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them regularly.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic hazards or exceptional
weather conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use
tarpaulin with a ventilation system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure that you wipe it to prevent
the water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance
of rust indeed mould.
Protection of the screws and bolts and the structure
Steel is a material that exposed to external elements (humidity, salty winds) will naturally oxidise. To prevent the appearance of
rust, our steel furniture is delivered original with an Epoxy treatment. However this layer gradually disappears under the effect of
external elements and must be renewed regularly. For this, apply an anti-rust aerosol at least once at the beginning and end of
the season (available in hardware shops or DIY shops). Increase the treatment frequency every 3 months for furniture exposed
