Characteristics
Ashwood is a light-toned hardwood valued for its straight grain, smooth texture, and strength. Its clean, neutral look makes it versatile in both contemporary and classic interiors. Natural variations in grain and colour contribute to its distinctive character.
Common Issues or Risks
Ashwood can be sensitive to environmental changes. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or drying, while excess moisture or humidity fluctuations can result in warping, swelling, or surface dullness.
Preventative Care
Position ashwood furniture in climate-controlled indoor environments away from heat sources, air vents, or direct sunlight. Use coasters, placemats, and protective pads to prevent marks, spills, or scratches. Always lift when moving to protect joints and flooring.
Cleaning Instructions
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and wipe dry immediately to avoid water absorption. Reapply oil, wax, or lacquer periodically if required to maintain the finish and enhance the natural grain.
Cautions / What to Avoid
Avoid soaking, standing moisture, and exposure to harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning tools. Do not expose ashwood to extreme humidity or temperature fluctuations, and never drag pieces when repositioning.
