*****Disclaimer*****

Our taps are natural, untreated wooden items.

Without repeated protective treatment, untreated wooden items exposed to water and/or weather will degrade quickly.

To expand the life span of your tap, we recommend using a breathable wood preservative designed for outdoor use (something that repels water but lets the wood breathe).

Best options:

• Danish oil or linseed oil (raw, not boiled) → soaks deep into the grain, enhances natural waterproofing
• Tung oil (more expensive but very durable)
• Specialist decking oils (e.g., Osmo Decking Oil, Ronseal Decking Oil) — formulated for UV and water resistance

Avoid varnishes or paints — they trap moisture inside and can accelerate rot.
