Repairs
Corten Steel
There is no need to repair light damage (scratches,
chips etc.) to the rust coloured layer on the surface of
the Corten steel. This layer will naturally reform within a
short period of time in an external environment.
Polyester Powder Coated & Galvanised Surfaces
For light damage (scratches, chips etc.) repair using
touch-up paint to match original colour (available
from Factory Furniture Ltd). Paint application should
be carried out in accordance with approved methods
detailed by the paint manufacturer. Please note that
it is advisable to use professional painters to achieve
best results when touching up larger areas. Products
for respraying larger areas are available from Factory
Furniture Ltd.
Heavy Damage
In the event of serious damage to any component,
replacements should be ordered from Factory Furniture
Ltd. In this event (or if the product needs to be
disassembled for any reason), please contact Factory
Furniture for detailed technical advice.
