Peter & Son furniture is built to last

So in all likelihood, the timber will get baked, soaked, frozen and submerged. Don't worry, we thought about that

Cleaning

Taking care of your Peter & Son outdoor furniture in New Zealand conditions is essential to maintain its life and appearance.

Start by gently cleaning the surface using detergent, terpentine and warm water. You can also use a specialised cleaner like CUTEK® Quickclean to easily remove dirt, grease and grime from the outside surfaces of your furniture.

Allow the timber to dry thoroughly before covering or storing the furniture. Proper drying helps prevent issues like splitting and rot.

Staining

Apply an oil stain when the colour is fading or water no longer beads on the surface.

I recommend using CUTEK® CD50. Stir the oil well and apply thin, even coats using a brush, making sure to coat all faces of the wood.

CUTEK® oil penetrates deeply. Wait 2-3 days in dry conditions until the timber is completely dry and non-greasy.

Patience during drying ensures the best results!

The Peter & Son Approach

  • Beautiful

    From design to materials and finish, we’re working to craft beautiful furniture by crafting with quality timber, exceptional oil stains and proportioned form to funtion.

  • Strong

    We only use timber, materials and techniques that will last a long time. Wherever we can we upgrade to timber with greater thickness and screws and bolts with a higher guage. Like using stainless steel hardware, its a win for the long term.

  • Comfortable

    Smooth timber surfaces, a curved radius on sharp edges, ergonomic shaped designs that have good proportions. The outdoors are enjoyable and relaxing with Peter & Son.
