Although made to withstand the rigours of an outdoor environment, your furniture will benefit from regular care and maintenance. Barlow Tyrie only uses the best marine quality solid brass and Stainless Steel on their furniture. Neither of these will rust nor deteriorate with age. Teak wood will naturally weather from golden brown to a silver grey color. Teak wood is a natural material and fine cracks in the end grain of components, e.g. legs and arms, may appear due to changes in temperature and humidity and the consequent change in moisture content of the wood. This is normal, especially in heavier components and it will not affect the serviceability of your furniture. We recommend the following products to care for and maintain your teak furniture.
Teak Cleaner Will quickly remove accumulated dirt.
Teak Protector Will maintain the golden brown color of new teak by using UV inhibitors to prevent the natural greying process and pigment enhancers to help maintain the natural color of teak.
Teak Stain Shield Forms an invisible layer to protect your teak from everyday stains such as butter, oil and red wine, making the cleaning of accidental spills an easy task.
Cord Cleaning This is made from yarns; both Textilene and Diversatex Olefin. The colored cord "Rum cake" is ideal for outdoor products; It is light in weight, has an impeccable finish and has a temperature resistant quality. The fabric is rugged non-stretch woven polyester with a PVC coating; it is resistant to UV, moisture, mold, as well as being waterproof and flame retardant. The cord is known throughout the furniture industry for its durability and strength.
To clean and maintain your cord seating, we recommend you use Barlow Tyrie Woven and Textilene Cleaner. This was developed to prevent any residue remaining after the cleaning process.
