KNOPPIE BASE FINISHES
IROKO TIMBER
Iroko is an African hardwood that will beautify with exposure to the elements to a striking silver-grey patina with fine hairline cracking. When the wood is new it expresses a variety of warmer tones (yellows to burnt sienna) that darkens and gets more neutral with age, sunlight and humidity, eventually weathering to a silver grey. Timber components come treated with Rubio® Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector in either smoke, clear or charcoal which nourishes and protects the timber.
CARE
For general cleaning, use a clean cloth to wipe down timber components with a solution of Rubio® Monocoat Exterior Soap and water. Allow the surface to dry.
For MAINTENANCE reapply Rubio® Monocoat Hybrid Wood protector every 6 to 12 months, depending on the level of exposure to the outdoor elements.
Clean as above with Rubio® Monocoat Exterior Soap. Rinse thoroughly until all the foam has disappeared. Allow the surface to dry well (± 30 minutes at a temperature of 20 °C and proper ventilation). Treat with the Rubio® Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector in the same colour as your orginal application.
Apply the oil with a clean cloth. Allow a few minutes for the product to react. Remove any excess oil.
WARNING Cloths, saturated with oil, may spontaneously combust. Soak cloths in water after use before disposal.

KNOPPIE TABLE TOP FINISHES
DEKTON
Knoppie table tops are water-jet cut from Dekton® 12mm slabs. Elect from elegantly striped + light Marmorio (inspired by Travertino Navona, a natural stone quarried near Tivoli, east of Rome), tonal Grigio or emotive Grafite (remeniscent of a dark fine-grained limestone) to complement your preferred iroko timber finish.
Dekton® is made with Sinterized Particle Technology, an exclusive high tech process which mimics an accelerated version of the metamorphic change that natural stone undergoes subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years.
CARE
Due to its practically zero porosity, the ultra-compact Dekton® surface is highly resistant to staining in day-to-day use and from chemical products, making it ideal for use as a table top for both inside and out. For general cleaning, Cosentino recommends the use of Q-Action with a sponge or soft cloth. If this product is not available, the best option is to use a neutral soap (like Sunlight liquid) and water.
WARNING Do not mechanically polish the surface. Avoid using metal scouring pads. Whist the table top material is incredibly durable, they can break when hit with heavy objects.
