Acacia is an extremely durable wood. It resists water damage and scratching, is close grained, resistant to decay and is easy to care for and clean. Acacia is also unpalatable to insects, making it an ideal timber for building items that need to be long lasting. Getting wet then dry, repeatedly, will draw moisture from the cells of the wood creating cracks over time. You must avoid polishing products that contain silicone as these will also dry out the Acacia wood over time. Detergents or cleaning products that contain ammonia must be avoided as well. If you place Acacia outdoor furniture next to a heat source, then there is a significant risk that warping will occur. When exposed to the elements, the natural light colour of the wood begins to darken. Avoid setting hot dishes or drinks directly onto tables or chairs because the darkening effect can occur underneath the object.

For an alfresco environment, the timber requires Intergrain Exterior Ultra Clear satin finish to be applied on arrival, then maintained as instructed every 6-12 months for longevity and warranty.

For full outdoor exposure, or other environments, please discuss maintenance and after care requirements with our experienced staff to ensure longevity and warranty.
