How to maintain claustras?

The maintenance of wooden claustras mainly depends on their species and finish. Regular upkeep preserves their aesthetic appearance and extends their lifespan. Care routines vary according to the installation environment and usage.

Regular cleaning:

  • Dust with a dry cloth or a vacuum fitted with a soft brush
  • Wipe stains with a slightly damp cloth
  • Avoid harsh chemical products

Preventive treatment:

  • Apply a suitable oil or wax once or twice a year
  • Check the condition of the fixings periodically
  • Lightly sand before re-treating if necessary

Maintenance varies according to the type of wood used: softer species require more care than naturally durable hardwoods.
