At Norler, we know that investing in wooden outdoor furniture is about creating a beautiful and comfortable space for relaxing and entertaining. To keep your furniture looking its best season after season, here are some professional tips on how to protect and maintain it.
1. Choose Durable Wood
When it comes to longevity, not all woods are created equal. Teak, cedar, and acacia are naturally resistant to weather and pests, making them ideal choices for outdoor use. If you’re browsing our collection, you’ll notice we offer premium options designed to withstand the elements.
2. Seal It for Lasting Protection
A protective sealant is your best friend when it comes to wooden furniture maintenance. Applying a quality wood sealer annually will prevent moisture damage, cracking, and fading. We recommend clear or tinted sealers to keep that natural wood grain shining through.
3. Invest in Quality Covers
A well-fitted, breathable cover shields your furniture from rain, snow, and UV rays. Our custom-fit covers provide excellent protection without trapping moisture, ensuring your furniture remains dry and mold-free.
4. Keep It Clean
Regular cleaning is simple but effective. Wipe away dust, dirt, and pollen with a soft cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap and water solution will do the trick. Remember to inspect for any signs of damage while you clean — catching small issues early can prevent costly repairs.
5. Shield It from the Sun
Even the most resilient wood can fade under constant sunlight. Applying a UV-protective finish will keep your furniture looking vibrant. Alternatively, positioning it in shaded areas or using a patio umbrella offers a stylish and functional solution.
6. Elevate Your Furniture
Direct contact with soil or grass can lead to moisture damage and rot. Using rubber feet or placing furniture on a hard surface like a deck or patio will provide proper air circulation and extend its lifespan.
7. Store During Harsh Weather
When winter rolls in, consider storing your furniture in a garage or shed. If indoor storage isn’t an option, tightly secure the covers to protect against snow and ice.
8. Nourish with Wood Oils
Give your wooden furniture a little extra love with natural oils like teak oil or linseed oil. These penetrate deep into the wood, providing protection while enhancing its color and sheen. For best results, apply every few months.
With these expert care tips, your wooden outdoor furniture will remain a stunning centerpiece in your outdoor living area.
