Care Instructions

Precast Concrete
Cleaning
Remove any loose surface deposits with a brush.

Regularly wash the coating using a solution of warm water and non-abrasive, pH neutral detergent solution (with low wax content).

Thoroughly rinse the surfaces after cleaning to remove all residues. You can use a sponge, a soft bristle brush or pressure water cleaners. For pressure cleaners ensure you use cold or warm water and average pressure. Rinse after with fresh water and leave to dry.

Do not use abrasive sponges, discs, or brushes.

Do not use corrosive detergents, descaling agents, or acidic components (bleach, ammonia, vinegar, abrasive pastes).

For cleaning marks or solidified substances from the surface use slightly abrasive sponges for non-stick ceramic pans, accurately and lightly treat the parts to be cleaned as above. Please check with Botton + Gardiner for advice relating to cleaning special circumstances (i.e. stains from paint, acid, etc.) as required.

Maintenance
For surfaces prone to additional wear like that used for street furniture, regular treatment is recommended (at least every 2 years) with products containing high wax content. Evenly apply the product with a soft cloth and polish with a circular motion.

Avoid the products from being placed on surfaces subject to infiltrations or stagnant water puddles.

Hardwood
Metalco selects exotic wood that best suits the product and/or the project according to availability. Species may include: Angelim Amargoso, Iroko, Movingui, and Ipe. Wood is always supplied sealed with a pigmented vegetable oil.

Cleaning
Remove any loose surface deposits with a soft bristled brush. Wipe down regularly with fresh water and a non-abrasive cloth.

Avoid exposure to high levels of direct heat sources and open flame, i.e. if a pot is too hot to hold it may damage your timber surface and keep away from open flame.

Maintenance
Lightly sand rough areas of timber, brush on one coat of Sikkens Cetol HLS or similar external grade oil in an appropriate colour. Complete the above initially within 3 months, then every 6 months or as required. Areas with high amounts of dust (like building sites) will require a higher frequency of maintenance.

Minor abrasion or scuff repairs: Apply Mirotone Wax or similar as per manufacturer’s guidelines.

Additional Comments

Customisable
Huge variety of ways modules can be placed together allows for customisation of the configuration.

Options
The bench ends of the Lorenz are both slightly angled and more elliptical than circular. This results in modular pieces needing to match directionally to fit together and the short and long benches and seats have the options of internal or external to denote direction, i.e. the side the hardwood element is on in conjunction to the end. See downloads tab for more information for end directions on each piece.

Upon request, if the product allows it, it is possible to perform polishing operations.

The finished products are treated with a revitalising varnish and, if requested, anti-graffiti treatment can be applied.
