THE BENEFITS OF ALUMINUM

Aluminum is light weight durable, corrosion resistant and easy to maintain, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture. In addition to its practical properties, aluminum has a modern appearance and the material pairs well with others such as wood, textilene and rope, allowing you to easily create your own style in your outdoor space.

• Powder Coating: This is a process that involves baking a layer of protective dry powder onto the aluminum surface, enhancing its longevity against environmental conditions and its overall appearance.

• Weather Resistant: Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, allowing you to leave your furniture outside year-round without worrying about damage from the elements.

• Low Maintenance: A simple wipe-down with mild soap and water is usually all that's needed to keep it looking clean and new. Aluminum doesn't need to be treated or sealed like wood, so you won't have to worry about staining or painting it regularly.

• Durability: Aluminum is a durable material that can last for many years without losing its structural integrity or aesthetic appeal. It won't warp, crack, or splinter like wood, and it's not susceptible to insect damage.

• Lightweight: Easy to rearrange your outdoor space or to store during the off-season.

CLEANING ALUMINUM

Create a soapy solution using dish soap and warm water. Wet a soft cloth with the soapy solution and wipe the aluminum until it's clean. Rinse the aluminum with water and let the surface dry.

THE BENEFITS OF TEAK WOOD

Teak wood is a stunning natural material valued for it’s beauty and durability with properties that make it perfect for prolonged outdoor use. Teak is a dense hardwood that contains natural oils that repel water and insects and resists warping and splintering, making it ideal for outdoor furniture. Teak furniture requires some special maintenance apart from the occasional cleaning. Additionally, teak is resistant to rot, simplifying maintenance.

As the wood is exposed to the elements it will naturally undergo a weathering process that causes it to take on a beautiful silver-gray patina. Normal use may result in small, hairline cracks (referred to as checking) appearing in the wood; this does not detract from the quality or the life span of the wood. This is all part of the normal characteristic of teak.

KETTLER prioritizes the sustainable and legal cultivation and harvesting of teak wood. Our teak patio furniture is certified with the SVLK or FSC® mark.

CARING FOR TEAK

We recommend that you gently clean all KETTLER Teak products with a cloth, sponge or soft brush, water and a mild soap solution. Cleaning should be performed a couple times a year or more if needed. Always clean in the direction of the grain. This prevents the wood from drying out, extending its lifespan.

• Do not use a pressure washer.
• Do not use an abrasive cleaner or cleaning tool.
• Allow the product to “breathe” to prevent molding. Furniture covers are not recommended.
• Do not paint or varnish as it will not adhere to the wood and will chip or peel off.
• Use of oils may cause discoloration or mildew.
• Avoid storing chairs underneath teak tables as the natural oils may seep through the wood and cause staining.
• Do not store any items (i.e. placements) on top of teak for long periods of time as the natural oils may seep through the wood and cause staining.
• Do not apply any cleaning or protecting product to the teak for the first 3 to 4 months.
