Features and usage tips
- Water resistant. Because (teak) wood is a natural material, it is susceptible to long-term exposure to water and moisture. Using a water-repellent cover made of 400DS polyester will protect the balcony hocker 100%. Water repellency can also be achieved by applying wood treatments such as Teak Sealer or Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector. By using both a 400DS polyester protective cover and treating the teak wood you give the balcony hocker maximum protection because water does not dry on the wood and dirt and eventually algae formation and adhesion is prevented.
- Waterproof. the balcony hocker is not 100% waterproof by default. With a protective cover you make the balcony hocker waterproof while the contents remain ventilated.
NOTE: However, it is important that water can drain away. If water cannot drain away, you will suffer from water pockets. If water is left standing for a long time it can eventually leak through. Prevent the cover from being in direct contact with the balcony cushions. If the balcony hocker cushions sit against the cover can become damp balcony hocker protection cover. The seams are splash-proof. By the seams are equipped with PVC tape to prevent seepage. The seams can unfortunately never be made 100% waterproof. - Condensation. Condensation can occur under the balcony hocker protective cover. Condensation is caused by temperature changes. This can cause the balcony hocker and cushion under the protective cover to get wet. Therefore, make sure you air the protective cover regularly. Then make sure that the protective cover is not in direct contact with the leaf. This prevents moisture stains from condensation.
- Prevents wood graying. Protection against UV radiation: If (teak) wood is exposed to UV radiation for a long time, the teak will lose its pigment in 8 to 12 months and will gray. By applying a protective cover, the wood will gray much less quickly. Graying can also be prevented with wood treatments such as Teak Sealer or Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector. By using both a polyester protective cover and treating the teak, you give the balcony hocker maximum protection from UV radiation and aging is eliminated.
