Care, Maintenance & Information
Cement Information:
Cement table tops are made of layered composites of cement, fiberglass, with a steel frame inner core that supports the cement.
This is highly durable but not indestructible as the material name suggest (cement).
The hand-molded tops show many surface textures and colour variations, this includes swirls,small scratches, bubbles/pin holes.
Cement Maintenance:
Most 'clean ups' are easily done using only a slightly damp cloth. To break down, built up grease from surface you had to the damp cloth a gentle liquid soap
such as dish-washing liquid. Apply leave for short period then remove with a damp cloth.
The top already has a protective coating, however, you will need to periodically apply a light coating of furniture wax for a smoother surface and easier
clean-ups!
Cement Care:
To clean, use only a soft, very slightly damp cloth.
Use of drink coasters and place-mats will reduce the marking of the surface.
Avoid placing hot pan's and a like on cement surface, items with sharp edges, do not use table surface as a cutting board.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE PADS, VINEGAR, BLEACH, ALCOHOL, HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS, TURPENTINE OR MINERAL SPIRTS.
A Light application of a quality furniture wax is a good cleaning agent and protects the finish at the same time.
Table Top: Cement Table Tops are made of layered composites of cement, fiberglass, with a steel frame inner core that supports the cement.
Base: Acacia Timber (a tropical, oil rich hardwood)
Timber Information:
Tropical Acacia a dense oil-rich hardwood in it's natural state.
Properties of this wood are in it's variegated open grain appearance, features a yellow-red colour variations, brown knots, and other natural properties. For
increased, initial protection, our finish process includes an immersion in protective oil that penetrates the wood surface for additional colour depth and
protection from the harsh, outdoor weather. We then finish by hand with a white wash for a unique seasoned finish.
Timber used outdoor will "age" with exposure to the sun and rain. Colour will lighten greatly as the oils evaporates. The solid wood also expands and
contracts with changing weather, and some connecting joints may open and small cracks in the solid wood may appear. Small splits and open joints may be
filled-in with a quality paste-wax or bees-wax.
Timber Maintenance:
Ageing term used gives the impression of long term, in timber used after it has been cut down and processed, the ageing process is in units of months not
years. While the out of carton product has the oils replaced it can dissipate quit quickly.
So we recommend that you you reapply the oil after 6 months of use & reapply every 12 months. Time periods are not set in stone with the variables of
placement of the product, any protective measures you take and of course climate. Please check your timber for fading colour this is an indication that the
oil needs replacing.
Steps recommend in reapplication of oil listed below.
1. Clean timber surface with a timber wash product. Please consult your hardware expert for correct product to use. Please follow instructions on can.
2. Use a high quality decking oil or similar again consult your hardware store expert. Please follow direction on can.
Timber Care:
To clean, use only a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid placing hot pan's and a like on timber surfaces, items with sharp edges that may damage surface if drag across timber.
NEVER USE ABRASIVE PADS, VINEGAR, BLEACH, ALCOHOL, HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS, TURPENTINE OR MINERAL SPIRTS.
