Sustainable use

• Use a product that is made especially for your type of wood surface. Always try the product in an inconspicuous area first.

• Exposure to sunlight can speed the ageing of wood. To prevent UV exposure from fading wood's natural colour, you might want to use curtains or blinds to block direct sunlight.

• Remember, wood is dynamic and will expand and contract with extreme fluctuations of humidity and temperature. Avoid extremes of hot, cold and wet to prevent cracking of solid-wood furniture.

• Use coasters to protect wooden table tops from water rings.
