Timber
Timber is a popular choice for public space furniture, bringing natural warmth, comfort and timeless appeal to outdoor spaces.
Made for the outdoors
Urban Effects timber commercial street furniture is generally crafted from selected hardwoods, valued for their strength, density, fine grain and natural durability. Hardwood offers excellent resistance to weather, rot, termites and borers, making it well suited to New Zealand outdoor environments.
Wherever possible, Urban Effects chooses sustainable materials with reduced impact on natural resources and people, including FSC and PEFC accredited timber.
Naturally protected
Selected timber products, including bench seats and table settings, can be oiled before packaging and delivery.
Urban Effects also offers MaxWax for greater timber protection and longevity. An easy-to-apply timber finish, MaxWax enhances the natural colour of the timber, helps repel water and dust while allowing the timber to breathe.
To maintain the look and longevity of timber furniture, regular cleaning and re-oiling is recommended.
