Specific Maintenance Details
FSC Timber / Non-FSC Timber
Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in more exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris type build up on
the timber surface. Ideally this should be completed in early spring. During the cleaning stage, all exposed timber surfaces
should be inspected for splits and splinters. Any splinters and graffiti should be removed and the surface sanded with 100
grit sandpaper in order to remove any uneven / sharp edges or surfaces.
During the first few months after installation the tannin naturally occurring in the timber may leach out and cause a brown
staining on the bases. This may be removed with a light solution of household bleach and water.
Stainless Steel (polished stainless steel only)
Clean as required, but at least every three months, using a stainless steel polish and a lint free cloth. To remove ground in dirt,
a stainless steel finishing pad may be required.

Repairs
FSC Timber / Non-FSC Timber
For light damage, please see section on specific maintenance details above. For instances of heavy damage, the timber item
should be replaced. Please order against the part number reference in the reordering section towards the end of this manual.
Stainless Steel
Light damage (surface scratches etc.) can be removed using an emery pad (240 grit) and freeing oil such as ‘WD40’. Care
should be taken to follow the direction of the brushing grain. It is recommended that a trial repair be carried out on an
unimportant surface first. No corrosive cleaners or other abrasives should be used. Any contamination, particularly carbon
steel scuffs from vehicles, should be quickly removed to avoid corrosion.
Heavy Damage
In the event of serious damage to any component, replacements should be ordered from Factory Furniture Ltd. In this event
(or if the product needs to be disassembled for any reason), please contact Factory Furniture for detailed technical advice.

Ensure that stainless steel is protected during site cutting of stone – contamination from disc cutters will produce corrosion on
stainless steel components.
