Your GD Home timber products are designed to provide many years of enjoyment. Our timber is sourced from local and international indigenous hardwoods and are pre-seasoned to ensure maximum longevity. The beauty of choosing natural timber products are the unique characteristics and features within, such as varying colours, grains, and textures.

To minimise changes in the timber, it should not be placed outside in direct sunlight, near fireplaces, or in heavily air-conditioned areas. We also suggest avoiding direct contact with heat, liquid, and abrasive cleaners or chemicals. Avoid placing hot items, like mugs or plates, on the surface without coasters or placemats underneath, this will prevent marks and stains. To remove any dirt or dust, use a damp cloth.

Like any big investment, timber products do require maintenance or restoration from time to time, depending on how it is used and cared for. The natural characteristics of timber respond to the environments they are placed in. Splits and cracks may appear and should not be seen as a fault or flaw, but should be celebrated as the timber takes on its own unique character. These changes in the timber will not compromise the construction or structural integrity. And, as we cannot control the environment in which you place your timber product, we cannot control or predict the changes you will see in your timber. 

The GD Home vision is for our timber products to gain character and reflect our lifestyles over time. However, should you want to retain the original appearance of your timber item, we suggest applying a small amount of beeswax or furniture oil every 12 months.
