The monsoon season is a refreshing change, but for your interiors, it can also be a season of subtle damage. Wood veneer and other high-end natural finishes can be subtly impacted by moisture and humidity. At The Flava, we believe that timeless interiors deserve thoughtful care. Not only is smart maintenance advised, but it is necessary.
Why Veneer Needs Extra Attention During Monsoon
Unlike engineered or laminate surfaces, veneer is crafted from thin slices of real wood, making it more sensitive to environmental changes. Without proper sealing and regular care, veneer panels can:
- Swell or warp due to absorbed moisture
- Peel or delaminate if exposed to dampness
- Discolor or host mold, especially in poorly ventilated areas
However, Flava veneers are pre-treated and designed to resist moisture absorption, making them far easier to maintain during monsoon months. You get all the beauty of natural wood, with significantly less upkeep.
Simple Daily Practices to Preserve Veneer Elegance
1. Dry Cleaning Routine
Wipe veneer surfaces gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid wet or damp cloths as they can leave behind moisture that seeps into the wood.
2. Improve Air Circulation
Use a dehumidifier or keep windows open during dry spells to reduce indoor humidity. Good ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup.
3. Reapply Polish or Sealants
Every 6 to 12 months, apply a clear polish or sealant to reinforce moisture resistance. This creates a protective barrier while enhancing the surface sheen.
4. Keep Away from Water Sources
Avoid installing veneer panels in areas exposed to splashing water or seepage, such as near open windows or leaky walls.
Tip: With Flava’s superior finishing and product conditioning, these steps are simpler and less frequent, ideal for modern lifestyles.
