PREMIUM LOCAL SLOW-WOOD
In our production we use carefully picked, premium Nordic pine. Individual trees that grow slowly
gain crucial capabilities for sustainable outdoor furniture with a long life span and that are easy
to maintain.
LINSEED OIL AND PAINT – A NATURAL CHOICE
Our products are prepared with high quality linseed oil paint that makes a perfect combination
with premium pine wood. The wooden furniture components are completely dry when prepared
so that the oil penetrates the surface thoroughly. This enables the coating to flex according to
the outdoor moist variations. Thanks to the natural materials the furniture are able dry
completely also from inside letting it mature gracefully and last over generations.
MAINTENANCE – POSSIBLE AND EASY
As a normal rule of thumb, we recommend wiping the furniture with a wet cloth (without any
chemicals or soap, preferably when wet after rain) so that residue from pollen and air pollution
comes off. If there are clearly visible stains of soot, fungus or similar, we recommend ‘Universal
Stone’ or similar mineral-based cleaning product that is not too harsh on the painted surface. Do
not use linseed or other soap while the natural paint can come off.
Linseed oil paint can after some years exposed to UV-radiation and other elements begin to
“chalk” i.e. color pigment is getting off the surface. This is a sign that the furniture is ready for oil
treatment. Make sure the furniture is all clean and free from dirt and loose particles. Use a harsh
cloth or a light sanding cushion.
When all clean and completely dry preferable use high quality aged, cold-pressed linseed oil for
the purpose. Apply a little oil on a sponge or cloth and treat the surface. Let it absorb for a few
ours and then remove possible redundant oil. The original color will now reappear and the
pigments rebound. If the surface still looks worn or free from paint, repaint in thin layers with
original linseed oil paint.
Furniture treated with a light color do best if you add a few thin layers of paint after the oil
treatment. Please feel free to contact us for maintenance products or for more information.
STORING FOR WINTER
Our furniture are recommended to be kept covered from above and on dry ground during
winter. Storing in room temperature is only recommended during maintenance. Please note: do
not cover the furniture with plastic sheet or similar. Outdoor furniture treated with linseed oil paint
shall be stored in airy spaces.
