Go from flat packed to set up in under 2 minutes
Do not use / place the products outside in the elements, and protect from direct sunlight.
Do not place hot objects directly onto the surface on the plywood.
Do not use abrasive cloths, concentrated detergents or silicon-based wood polishes.
Dust the surface weekly with a dry cloth or duster in the direction of the natural grain
The wood is hand-sanded to a smooth finish, but IT IS NOT STAIN OR WATER RESISTANT (unless a part of our coated range). This is because an untreated wood is porous and will absorb liquid.
• Spilling liquids on an untreated surface will therefore stain the wood. If you do spill anything, wipe down with clean dry cloth as soon as possible to minimise staining. You could also give the area a very light sand in the direction of the grain, with a fine grit sandpaper like 240 grits. Using a thicker grit (180 or less) may make the surface rough.
• If you want to treat your product with a varnish to give them a better layer of protection, please refer to the next question below for more information.
The IsoKing products are very strong. We have tested the desks in the factory and know that they can support 200+kgs of weight. However, they are not deliberately designed to take this much weight and of course we do not advise that you place this much weight on them. The desks will very easily support the weight for which any work desk is purposed, including books, laptops, printers, etc. etc. You should avoid sitting on any desk, including the lap desks or monitor stands.
(Uncoated) Birchwood ply is naturally very blond in colour. If you expose it to direct sunlight, the exposed parts will probably become slightly yellow / darker in colour, so we don’t recommend that. Over time, the wood may naturally darken very slightly.
The products are hand-sanded to a very fine 240 grit, which should be smooth to the touch. They are not treated with any varnish or other sealants. Because it is heat-produced, this also means it does not need treating for insects.
You don’t need to treat or varnish the desks for aesthetic or durability reasons, but as stated above they will not be resistant to stains or liquids.
If you want to add a layer of protection, you could consider giving the products 2-3 light coats of varnish:
The best product is probably a clear water-based polyurethane varnish which will bring out the grain but give more protection. Best to get a low sheen (satin) unless you want a gloss look. A couple of coats will help protect from stains like coffee cups, wine glasses, etc. These products are easily available in the varnish section of your local DIY store.
*A quick tip - if you do apply varnish or another protection layer yourself, be very careful not to drip / allow any varnish into the slots where the product fits together. This would be making it much harder to take apart and put back together.
Our very low VOC levels, non-yellowing, clear water borne coating designed as a quality durable finish for timber substrates. The product is designed to act as a self-sealing finish to provide excellent UV Protection to minimise colour change or yellowing of solid timber or veneer substrates. It is NOT designed for direct exterior exposure. The water based, stain resistant polyurethane finish. This allows the product to sustain spills that can easily be wiped off. NOTE: liquid spills that may cross over the tenon joins may cause the edges of the ply to swell.
