Exterior Amenities

Aluminum:

Simply use water and soft soap. Avoid the use of scourers

Ceramic:

Ceramic table tops are easy to clean with a sponge and an all-purpose household cleaner. Afterwards, rinse and/ or wipe off to avoid streaks. Although the ceramic surface is extremely hard and wear-resistant, we do not recommend the use of cleaners with an abrasive or polishing action. Use only sponges, soft nylon brushes or cloths.

Teak:

Teak don’t need additional protection due to their high resistance. Nevertheless it may be useful to treat the wood so that it is less sensitive to staining. During outdoor use, the untreated wood will oxidise and develop a silver gray patina due to exposure to water and UV rays. Whether this natural process is desirable or not is merely a question of personal taste.

Aluminum:

Aluminium is a non-ferrous metal, which combines great mechanical rigidity with light weight; this makes it especially suitable for making furniture. If treated correctly it has a good resistance to corrosion. One of the treatments is powder coating. After a chemical pre-treatment an epoxy powder is applied statically and baked. The advantages are easy cleaning and endless colour variations.

Teak:

Teak is a tropical hardwood with great stability due to minimal moisture absorption. It is extremely resistant to the influences of chemicals, as well as against attacks by vermin.
