DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
•
Before assembling these patio tiles, please ensure that the bottom surface is level and clean of any
dirt. Remove stones and weeds. These wooden tiles are easier to install on hard, flat surfaces such as
concrete or terraces.
MAINTENANCE DETAILS:
•
Your patio tiles are made of acacia FSC (Forest Stewardship Council, environmental label that ensures
the production of wood or wood-based products follows procedures intended to guarantee sustainable
forest management).
•
Wood is a natural product. Subjected to external aggression, it may lose its shine, crack, darken... But its
quality won't be affected. To preserve the appearance of your wood, some precautions must be observed.
•
The structure of this product is covered with a colorless oil during its manufacture. The impregnation of the
oil varies according to the wood species. A small residue may remain. Be sure to remove it with a rag be-
fore first use. You don't need to put oil on your new garden furniture, you can wait until the end of summer.
•
Wood is a living material. Therefore, its appearance changes over time and some cracks appear. It's
normal and this is what makes the authentic charm so appreciated of hardwood. Although robust and
weatherproof, your tiles need a little maintenance to extend their life.
•
Every day, remove leaves, standing water and dust. Wash the stains with soapy water and with a sponge.
If your structure is very dirty, you can use a stiff brush. If possible, place your garden furniture in a shady
location to protect it from UV.
•
In spring and late summer, Clean your tiles thoroughly and leave them to dry. Once panelling is completely
dry, apply a thin layer of oil. Careful, make sure it won't rain during the 24h that follow the oil application.
•
If your tiles have been exposed to a lot of rain, it is possible that you notice that the surface fibers have
slightly inflated and that the whole is more rough to the touch. To rectify it, sand lightly with a fine grain
sandpaper until finding a smooth appearance. Then use a wet sponge on your furniture to remove resi-
dues caused by sanding. Once the furniture is dry, apply a coat of oil to restore the tiles to their original
colour.
•
The oil layer is what preserves your tiles from stains and enables it to cope with pollution, bad weather and
mould. If you choose to let age your wood furniture, without applying oil twice a year, it will have a pretty
silver color. However, it won't be protected anymore.
