Important Care Information
Please note: our taps are natural, untreated wooden products.
Untreated wood exposed to water or outdoor conditions will naturally degrade over time. To help extend the lifespan of your wooden tap, we recommend applying a breathable wood treatment that repels moisture while allowing the timber to breathe.
Recommended treatments:
- Danish oil or raw linseed oil – penetrates deeply and enhances natural water resistance
- Tung oil – highly durable and long-lasting
- Specialist decking oils (such as Osmo or Ronseal decking oils) – formulated for water and UV resistance
- Avoid varnishes or paints, as these seal the surface and can trap moisture inside the wood, potentially accelerating decay.
With proper care and maintenance, your wooden tap will provide reliable performance while retaining its traditional appearance.
