HOUE Outdoor Maintenance
Over time pine wood will get a deeper and intense color. For the best care we recommend to regularly apply oil to create a protective layer against the natural environment. Storing the furniture indoors during winter prevents damage from freezing temperatures and moist. Our thermo ash is sourced from sustainably managed European forests (FSC® – FSC C153404) and is thermally treated at a temperature of 215°C without any addition of chemical substances. This treatment turns the color of the wood into a warm brown color and ensures an impressive durability. Over time wind and weather will give the thermo ash a grey patina. To keep or to regain the brown color, just sand the surface and treat it with an oil suitable for outdoor furniture. We recommend treating the thermo ash with oil on a regular basis. Bamboo is a type of grass that grows from its roots and when harvested it quickly grows back without the need for watering or use of pesticides. For outdoor furniture it is a material that needs to be taken care of in order to maintain a rich and beautiful surface. The material has a hard surface but since it does not contain oil naturally, it becomes porous if left to dry out. We recommend treating the bamboo with oil specifically for outdoor furniture on a regular basis to help protect it from the elements. Steel parts are powder coated with two layers; a primer and a top layer that is UV resistant and suitable for outdoor use. The surface treatment prevents rust, but if damaged rust will develop. Therefore, we recommend that scratches exposing the metal are repaired with repair lacquer. Aluminum parts have one layer of powder coat that is UV resistant and suitable for outdoor use. The surface treatment will prevent corrosion and repairing scratches with repair lacquer is recommended - mainly to keep the appearance of the product.
