At Savanna Wood we finish our products with a series of
nitrocellulose lacquer finishing coats. Nitrocellulose is a natural
fibre found in woody plants. We have selected this lacquer finish for
its excellent clarity and depth, as well as its heat, water, solvent,
acid and alkali resistance.
The finishing coat, as with any finishing coat, can deteriorate. The
main causes of deterioration are exposure to strong light (especially
sunlight); oxidation and physical abuse with rough or excessively hot
objects. There are both passive and active measures that can be taken
to protect your investment:
Passive measures. Place furniture away from direct sunlight or
very powerful lights. Do not store in a very hot environment (such as
an attic or basement) as this accelerates oxidation.
Active measures. Application of a good furniture wax or paste
wax polish. This will help prevent objects damaging the finish and will
give it a beautiful sheen that helps bring out the depth and colour of
the wood. Apply enough wax to thinly cover the surface. As it dries
(the sheen becomes dull) wipe off the excess and buff with a clean
cloth until a lovely sheen is achieved. Thereafter keep the finish
clean as required with a soft cloth or duster. If the sheen dulls, re
buff without wax. You should only need to re apply wax every few
months. Enjoy your product!
