Care & Maintenance
Be aware like your skin timber can tan in the sun, timber naturally oxidizes in the sun and coatings fade, this is a natural ageing process of a natural product. This should be managed by moving furnishings from time to time to avoid uneven colour changes.
If exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods timber can also suffer more serious issues such as minor cracking. The floors are designed for an indoor surface and need to be kept in comfortable living temperatures. Excessive heat, humidity and fluctuations in temperature can cause the floor to distort.
Window protection such as blinds, window tinting or external shading to limit direct sunlight is required to ensure the floor is protected from prolonged direct sun exposure. Use heating and cooling to keep the ambient temperature between 10-30°C and moderate humidity between 35-75% particularly in the more extreme climates of Australia. In Northern Australia take time to understand the settings of your heating and cooling to manage humidity.
