Wood

For our worktops and doors we use exclusively Fraké wood . This type of wood is thermally modified, making it a very suitable material for outdoor use.

Untreated Fraké wood is golden brown in colour. When Fraké is used outdoors, rain and sun cause the outer layer to turn light grey. This is the natural process by which the wood protects itself.

Temperature differences and alternating moisture and dryness can cause small hairline cracks. This has no further effect on the quality.

Clean the wood. Any dirt, mold and algae must be removed. Prevent the wood from remaining damp for long periods of time, good ventilation prevents damage to the wood.

To maintain the golden brown color, the wood should be finished with a protective wood oil . This oil is available separately. Whatever look you prefer, we advise against using aggressive maintenance products, as this can permanently damage the wood.

Steel

A material used in our kitchen frames is steel . Steel is heavy and very sturdy. By using steel, we give our frames stability and they can withstand a heavier load. The steel is powder coated to ensure that no corrosion can occur.

Our kitchen frames are provided with a three-layer powder coating. This provides the protective layer that is necessary to prevent rust formation on steel.

To clean the powder coating use some water and a not too aggressive soap. Always do this by hand and never use a high pressure sprayer or garden hose.

We therefore recommend that you regularly check all steel elements for stains, scratches or damage.

If the powder coating is damaged during use, please contact us. In most cases, a scratch or damage can be repaired with a paint pen.

Stainless steel

Our kitchen frames and accessories are made of stainless steel (RVS) , because the material is not free of rust. Due to all kinds of external influences, rust deposits can appear on the (bare) steel.

Stainless steel is produced in all kinds of forms and is given a type number for the proportions of iron, chromium, nickel and carbon.

At Roostr we only use 304 stainless steel, where the oxide layer of the material seals the underlying materials. The surface of the stainless steel is brushed or rolled.

Over time, flash rust can develop on the surface due to chlorides and acids from rain or, for example, a nearby swimming pool. This is easy to polish away if done in time, we advise to check the stainless steel regularly, keep it clean with a stainless steel cleaner or provide it with a stainless steel protector, depending on the situation.

Dekton

Dekton has been used for decades as a finish for kitchens, bathrooms and as a luxury facade cladding. It is not without reason that the sustainable material is known for its extreme hardness and heat resistance (up to 250 °C). The beautiful appearance of the material makes Dekton very distinctive and popular.

A Dekton worktop is easy to maintain and clean. With water and mild soap, the Dekton worktop is clean again in no time.

Be careful with placing cast iron pans or pots for a long time, this can cause serious rust rings. Also do not place objects that can become extremely hot such as a cast iron pan, pizza stone or heat shield (which can reach 400 °C), this can cause the top to crack.

Felt

Felt is very user-friendly and virtually maintenance-free. Remove dirt with an absorbent clean cloth. Use a clean soft brush with soapy water for stubborn dirt. When cleaning, always work from the outside in to keep the stain small.

After cleaning, remove the residues of dirt and cleaning agent with clean water. Dry with a clean absorbent cloth.
