Frequently asked questions regarding our product range.

  • Our timber products feature precision machined Accoya wood, a modified timber with properties that match or exceed the best tropical hardwoods and treated woods. Best of all it is manufactured from sustainable sources.

    Accoya is a perfect solution for exterior products where aesthetics, less frequent maintenance, dimensional stability and durability are key factors.

  • Our products have been designed to be low maintenance so there is not much for you to do once they are installed. The powder coated aluminium and stainless steel parts are maintenance free outdoor materials. Maintaining the surfaces clean using a mild soapy solution will keep the materials looking at their best for years to come.

    Accoya timber parts require a little care from time to time, we provide the timber in a raw, oiled, stained or painted finish. If the timber is left raw it will weather to a silver finish but if you prefer the original or stained colour then we suggest selecting the coated finish or coating it yourself. We recommend re-oiling and staining to prevent cracking and to extend its lifetime.

    The locks may require some maintenance over time, please take care when installing the letter box and ensure that no sand, cement or gravel enter the locks as it will impair the working parts. We suggest applying a small amount of lubricant (WD40 or equivalent) to the barrel every 6 months for improved functionality and longevity.

  • How often you re-coat your timber depends on location, usage and exposure to the elements. We recommend re-coating your timber parts every 12 months to prevent cracking and to extend its lifetime. Javi products that are exposed to open air needs re-coating when rain drops are absorbed by the timber instead of forming small beads on the surface.
