*****Disclaimer*****
Our taps are natural, untreated wooden items.
Without repeated protective treatment, untreated wooden items exposed to water and/or weather will degrade quickly.
To expand the life span of your tap, we recommend using a breathable wood preservative designed for outdoor use (something that repels water but lets the wood breathe).
Best options:
o Danish oil or linseed oil (raw, not boiled) → soaks deep into the grain, enhances natural waterproofing
o Tung oil (more expensive but very durable)
o Specialist decking oils (e.g., Osmo Decking Oil, Ronseal Decking Oil) — formulated for UV and water resistance
Avoid varnishes or paints — they trap moisture inside and can accelerate rot.
