Lacquer Finishes
Lacquered pieces have been polished to bring depth and beauty. Although they are typically protected with a clear coat, they are still susceptible to wear.

Precautions:
-Use placemats or felt spots under objects that may scratch the surface as well as coasters under any containers containing liquid.
-Do not allow liquids to remain in contact with lacquered surfaces.
-Rubber or plastic left on a lacquer finish can also cause damage.

Important Environmental Information:
-Do not place/leave hot or moist objects directly on lacquer surfaces.
-Do not place lacquer items near heaters, air conditioning units or in direct sunlight to prevent over-drying and fading.
-Avoid extreme humidity changes in your home, as this can cause damage to lacquered pieces.
-Maintain humidity levels between 35-45%, as extremely dry air can cause damage to lacquer.
-Exposing lacquer to extreme moisture can also cause swelling or warping.

Metals:
Most metals on Konekt pieces are delivered with a live finish unless specified differently. The live finishes are designed to naturally patina over time.

Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Do not use polisher or cleaning chemicals on any satin brass/bronze, blackened brass/bronze or patinated brass/bronze finishes.

Restoration
-To restore a polished finish on an item with a live or non-live finish, we recommend that they be professionally cleaned and polished.

Blackened Steel and Plated Steel
-Blackened steel and plated steel products are lacquered to prevent rust.

Maintenance:
-To clean, dust gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Do not use any chemical cleaners, abrasives, or polishing compounds as this could affect the appearance of the finish.

Stainless Steel
-Stainless steel will not patina or rust.

Maintenance:
-To clean, gently dust with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
-Refrain from using abrasive liquids, cleaners or polishers as they may alter the appearance.
