Our rust finish is certainly the most popular, particularly for customers looking for an aged appearance. It is most suited to older homes and fits quite naturally in the Cape Winelands with the historic Cape Dutch buildings.
Naturally this finish is not recommend for coastal homes and we are also sure to advise customers that the frames will mark any floor surface. Rubber feet are not advisable as this forms a collection point for the water and can corrode the feet.
The rust finish is created by treating frames with a chemical converter and then left to oxidize (rust) naturally. They are then waxed with pronature wax to prevent loose brush off of rust. It is advisable to wax annually or when rust begins to flake. It is also essential that you oil the articulating joints of the chairs, most especially with this finish.
To wax your furniture:
- scour frames with scotchbrite pads to remove loose rust and brush clean.
- apply PRONATURE WAX to the metal frame with a cloth and rub dry.
- NOTE – the wax is NOT FOR USE on timber surfaces.
