Exterior Amenities

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.

Stainless steel:

Since stainless steel is not corrosion resistant by definition, it is advisable to clean the furniture regularly with clean water and soft soap. This minimizes the contamination of the surface, including by metal particles known as airborne rust.

Textile:

Simply use water and Batyline®- Fibre cleaner. Avoid the use of abrasive products and solvents.

Stainless steel:

Stainless steel better known as Inox, is an iron alloy in which the resistance to corrosion is increased through the addition of chrome and nickel. The principle involves the protection of the outside surface by chromium oxide and nickel oxide molecules. These molecules are uch bigger than the underlying iron atoms, which prevents the latter from combining with oxygen to form iron oxides – better known as rust. This passive layer protects the precious steel and is self-renewing.

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.
