As a leading manufacturer of outdoor design built to withstand harsh elements, we take pride in helping you get the most out of your Tait pieces. Much like owning a luxury tailored suit or dress, we recommend some key measures to ensure your fabric upholstery maintains its high performance and good looks for many years to come.
Tait recommends a select range of premium, high-performance, exterior-grade upholstery options, these fit-for-purpose fabrics have been hand-picked from a number of trusted textile suppliers worldwide. Constructed with the highest quality man-made yarns suited to outdoor extremities, these fabrics are advantageous for their inherent stain resistance, colour-fast resilience and durable qualities. In addition, many of these fabrics feature advanced technologies in their construction including solution-dyed olefin and acrylic, as well as Trevira CS flame retardance. Tait’s range of selected fabrics has been used extensively and has performed exceptionally across numerous commercial and residential projects worldwide. Due to their ability to perform and cope under demanding pressures this selection of fabrics from Tait’s tried and trusted range.
While individual fabrics will each have their own set of care and maintenance requirements as outlined by the supplier, the following provides general information to assist you in the best care for your upholstered items.
RECOMMENDATIONS
DO NOT
VOLLEY ROPE
This is a high-strength, UV-stable polyester rope. To clean it, use a damp cloth with a solution of warm water and mild soap, then rinse with another damp cloth with water only. Allow to air dry. If the stain is deep or dirt persists, re-wet the rope with soap and water and rub with a soft plastic bristle brush. Rinse and let dry.
THIS WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER DEFECTS OR IMPERFECTIONS RESULTING FROM THE PASSAGE OF TIME OR DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR INCURRED BY NORMAL USE OF THE PRODUCT.
Porcelain is both stylish and practical. Tait recommends porcelain as it is one of the best low maintenance, durable and reliable surface options.
Being non-porous, porcelain is hygienic, it offers stain, scratch and thermal shock resistance and is suited for use in external environments. Because colour is fired into the tile’s body, the colour will not fade even when exposed to direct sunlight and its colour-sucking UV rays.
In caring for your porcelain surface,
DO:
-Regular, basic cleaning with warm water, mild soap and a soft, non-abrasive cloth
-Use gentle, everyday multipurpose spray cleaner
-Immediately wash away stains such as red wine, food, oils and drinks
-For stubborn stains use a gentle, every day, non-abrasive, multipurpose spray cleaner, sugar soap, cream-based house cleaners or bicarbonate soda mixed with warm water
-Always dry your porcelain thoroughly after cleaning
DO NOT:
-Use cleaning products that contain acids, ammonia or other harsh chemicals
-Expose porcelain to permanent inks or dyes
-Use sharp utensils on a porcelain top
-Sit or stand on
When placing a furniture cover over a table for an extended period of time, it is recommended to first place an empty plastic pot plant in the centre of the table, then placing the furniture cover over the top. This will prevent the possibility of the furniture cover adhering to the table surface.
While porcelain is resistant to scratches, etches and stains, it is not damage proof. Careless handling, treatment or misuse of our products can result in damage and is not covered under our manufacturer’s warranty.
Porcelain panels are scratch resistant, not scratch proof. They will easily withstand daily use. Always using cutting boards when preparing food, and avoid sliding heavy metallic objects along service, to protect it from scratching and scuffing.
Porcelain products are bound by the warranty of the supplier. Tait provides no warranty direct or indirect, implied or referred.
Tait assume no responsibility for product damage caused by the use of furniture covers.
Wash regularly with warm soapy water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. For commercial, industrial or marine environments we recommend monthly maintenance. Always rinse well with water, to remove any remaining detergent.
Avoid steam cleaning, pressure washing, abrasive cleansers, steel brushes/wools and cleaners containing chlorine. Avoid scratching the surface by dry dusting. Never use strong solvents to clean powder coated surfaces. Aggressive solvents such as turpentine, white spirits, thinners, citrus based cleaners, Spray and Wipe, and other aggressive solvents are harmful to the extended life of the powder coated surface. Do not allow detritus, organic or man-made matter to settle on the product surface. We recommend removing any buildup of mineral deposits leaching from soils and fertilisers, should it occur on Tait’s planters.
Rough treatment of powder-coated furniture can result in chipping of the coated surface; this is not covered under warranty.
Most Tait products come with protective fittings – stacking glides, bumpers, socks/feet and glides. These aid in protection against chipping and scratching. Powder coated chairs are designed to be set in place gently.
Touch-up paint may be purchased on request. It is advisable to repair minor nicks and scratches as soon as they appear.
When placing a furniture cover over a table for an extended period of time, it is recommended to first place an empty plastic pot plant in the centre of the table, then placing the furniture cover over the top. This will prevent the possibility of the furniture cover adhering to the table surface.
Should you wish to touch up any blemishes which may occur, please contact your nearest Tait showroom and request a Powder Coat Touch Up Kit. Please follow our Powder Coat Touch Up Guide (available under ‘Dimensions and Specs – Download Assets’ on the product page) for application details.
Powder coat is a decorative finish for indoor and outdoor use. While it assists with metal protection, it is not a corrosion protection in its own right. The components of Tait powder coated products are produced in either aluminium, stainless steel or mild steel.
The mild steel base materials are treated with two levels of pre-protection that guard against corrosion. The products are then powder coated to make the surface resistant to corrosion and suitable for use in exterior environments.
Minor corrosion spots at the weld joins – under table tops, bases and seat frames, may be evident on mild steel products. These do not affect the structural integrity of the product and are not covered by the Tait warranty.
Whilst every care is taken to provide the most suitable finish according to the use and the environment the product will be subjected to, Tait cannot guarantee this decorative finish against scratching, scuffing, chipping, fading or corrosion as a result of use in harsh seafront, extreme or environments where chlorine is present.
Tait offer a range of powder coat colours which offer excellent UV stability and are suitable for use in outdoor applications. Whilst powder coat offers excellent colour retention, natural fading is not covered under the Tait warranty. To ensure longevity of this finish please refer to the care and maintenance.
The warranty does not cover any occurrence of detritus, organic or man-made matter settling on the product surface. The warranty also excludes buildup of mineral deposits leaching from soils and fertilisers, should it occur on the surface of Tait’s planters. Nor does this warranty cover any product corrosion directly caused by aforementioned matter.
Tait assume no responsibility for product damage caused by the use of furniture covers.
Tait selects premium Accoya Timber and Smoked Oak engineered timbers that provide superior rot-resistance, defy the elements and stay strong for decades and are manufactured using clean technologies and sustainably sourced.
Accoya® Timber is modified by acetylation. Acetylation is a non-toxic process in which radiata pine is soaked in an organic compound related to vinegar, making the wood more resistant to moisture, insects, and rot.
Smoked Oak is thermally modified timber. Thermally modified timber is heated using a totally ‘green’ chemical-free process to permanently change its properties. Essentially, the timber stops absorbing water and becomes a stable, durable product that resists shrinkage, swelling, decay, rot, mould and insect attack.
Tait’s Osmo oil finish is specially formulated for high-performance timbers. To comply with warranty requirements, cleaning and maintenance of timbers are obligatory.
Surface clean the timber components of your outdoor furniture pieces at least twice a year. Wash the surfaces thoroughly with a soft cloth, using warm soapy water to remove dust, grime and insects. A build-up of dust and grime can lead to the increased growth of green algae, mould and other surface fouling. Always rinse well with water, to remove any remaining detergent and allow to dry.
Avoid pressure washing, abrasive cleansers, steel brushes/wools and cleaners containing chlorine. Never use strong solvents to clean timber surfaces. Aggressive solvents such as turpentine, white spirits, thinners, citrus based cleaners, Spray and Wipe, and other aggressive solvents are harmful to the extended life of the timber.
Recoating your timber
To restore the original appearance of timber please contact Tait’s customer service ([email protected]) to request a maintenance kit and follow the Osmo Oil Reapplication Guide (under “Dimension Specs – Download Assets” on the website product page of your Tait product).
When placing a furniture cover over any table for an extended period of time, it is recommended to first place an empty plastic pot plant in the centre of the table, then placing the furniture cover over the top. This will prevent the possibility of the furniture cover adhering to the table surface.
Careless handling, treatment or misuse of our products can result in damage and is not covered under our manufacturer’s warranty.
Accoya® timber is perfect for exterior furniture applications. The Accoya® timber component is covered for 1 year from the date of purchase, subject to proper maintenance by the purchaser and fair wear and tear. Accoya timber is treated Radiata Pine, is a softwood therefore subject to denting.
Smoked Oak is a thermally modified timber. The Smoked Oak timber component is covered for 1 year from the date of purchase, subject to proper maintenance by the purchaser and fair wear and tear.
End and surface checking may appear and is not claimable under warranty.
Any changes in the visual appearance of timber that are directly linked to ageing are not covered by warranty. As timber is a living material, the appearance of its surface evolves naturally over time.
Tait recommends maintenance as required with Osmo Oil to reduce colour loss, dryness and weathering. Engineered timbers that have been treated with tinted Osmo Oil may fade when placed in direct sunlight. This is not covered by the Tait warranty.
The warranty does not cover product damage caused by the build-up of mould due to environmental factors such as wet weather, damp and humidity
Tait assumes no responsibility for product damage caused by the use of furniture covers.
