At King Living, every material is carefully considered including timber veneer. As a natural product, each piece carries unique grain patterns that celebrate the individuality of the tree it came from. This natural variation is part of what makes timber furniture so timeless and refined.
Protecting Your Investment
To preserve the lasting beauty of your timber veneer furniture:
-
Position with care: Place your furniture away from direct heat sources or excessive moisture. These conditions can cause the veneer to expand and contract, potentially leading to warping or cracking.
-
Shield from sunlight: Extended exposure to direct sunlight or UV light can fade or discolour the surface over time. Position your pieces in shaded areas where possible.
Daily Use Tips
-
Use padding: Add felt or protective pads beneath objects placed on timber surfaces. For heavier or heated items, thicker padding is recommended to minimise the risk of marks or heat damage.
-
Avoid dragging: Refrain from sliding items across the surface, as this can scratch the veneer. We also recommend avoiding writing directly on the surface to prevent impressions or marks.
Cleaning and Maintenance
-
Handle spills promptly: Wipe spills immediately using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or chemicals such as nail polish remover, perfume, hairspray, or anything containing silicone, as these may damage the finish.
-
Regular dusting: Gently dust using a soft microfibre cloth to help maintain your furniture’s appearance.
