CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Resin wicker PE (polyethylene) is a recyclable plastic material (polyethylene.) Its braiding is done by hand.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different assembled elements
(between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried out individually, before
assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance irregularities coming both from the surface treatment process
and assembly operations. The final appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.
Regularity of the braiding
This garden furniture is entirely hand braided. The braiding technique consists in an intertwining of synthetic resin strands around a
metallic structure. It is possible to observe braiding tension differences. At each break point, the end of the strand in addition,
ranging up to a few centimetres, is inserted into the braiding. If this strand comes out, put it back in place. There is no risk of the
braiding becoming undone.
Synthetic resin imitates natural rattan. Rattan has appearance irregularities that give it its unique character. The manufacturing
process reproduces these variations in look and shade.
2/ Precautions for use
Do not put hot objects on the table itself, they will leave permanent marks on it (discoloration, deformation, cracks…). Always use
table mats.
Do not use a plastic tablecloth on the table. Exposed to UV and heat, it would melt and act as a decal, especially on steel,
aluminum and glass. This would result in irreparable deterioration of the tray in the form of white streaks. Instead, use a fabric
tablecloth.
Watch out for blows from knives and other sharp objects handled nearby. Watch out too for burns from cigarettes and from other
heat sources.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an alteration of the colours and the
state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the screwed elements.
Exposure to UV rays
Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles, paint, plastics), a phenomenon also due to
the rays of the sun as well as those of the moon. This evolution of colours exposed to external elements is normal and concerns
in particular bright colours.
Tightening
The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them regularly.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic hazards or exceptional weather
conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin with a
ventilation system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure that you wipe it to prevent the
water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance of rust
indeed mould.
