From small balconies to lush gardens and those spaces that blur the outside with the inside, our outdoor range will meet your needs. Depending on what you choose, you will need to care for it differently. Care information is available with the item but below is a breakdown of the three main categories.

Full Outdoor Use

All our outdoor ranges are produced to ensure that they’re durable and can withstand the elements. These items are made from durable timbers like teak, rust resistant aluminium, advanced fabrics and special foams that dry quickly. With minor care, these items do not have to be kept undercover but you can prolong them by storing in a dry location or use an outdoor cover when not in use or during periods of inclement weather.

Furniture made with polyester, man-made wickers and aluminium can be simply washed down with warm soapy water and left to dry naturally. This should be done on a regular basis. If debris gets caught in the weave, use a portable vacuum with an appropriate brush to remove.

Expansion and contraction of timbers will occur with changes in humidity and temperature. This can cause timber to split which is natural and not considered a fault. Over time, all wooden furniture will naturally change to a grey colour when left exposed to the elements.

For timber we recommend purchasing a protector to maintain and effectively remove grime and build up, while nourishing timber and concealing the appearance of fine surface scratches. It is formulated for use on finished, sealed wood and designed for outdoor use. This care kit helps to nourish and protect the timber finish, assists in UV protection and waterproofing of the timber surface, and helps prevent timber from discolouring, drying and ageing. The products are safe and easy to use and require no mixing or dilution required prior to application.
