Your new Acacia terrace boards are designed to last, but with a little care, you can keep them looking fresh and beautiful for years. Here’s how to maintain their natural charm
1. Regular Cleaning
Sweep your natural acacia terrace boards frequently to remove dirt, leaves, and debris. This prevents scratches and buildup that can dull the wood's finish.
Wash with a mild soap and water solution every few months. A soft brush or mop works well to gently scrub the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washing, as they can damage the wood's natural fibers.
2. Seasonal Maintenance
Spring and Fall: Give your terrace a deeper clean during these seasons to prepare for changing weather. This includes removing any moss or algae buildup that may have formed.
If your terrace is exposed to extreme sun or moisture, consider applying a wood protector to enhance its durability and retain the natural color of the acacia.
3. Protecting from Moisture
While Asian Acacia is resistant to moisture, it’s always good practice to avoid prolonged exposure to standing water. Ensure your terrace has proper drainage, and after a heavy rain, sweep away any puddles that may form.
Using outdoor rugs made of breathable materials can help protect the boards without trapping moisture underneath.
4. Avoid Sharp Objects
Take care when moving furniture or heavy items across your terrace. Lifting rather than dragging helps prevent scratches or dents. Consider placing protective pads under the legs of furniture to avoid unnecessary marks on the wood.
5. Refreshing the Finish
Over time, natural wood can develop a patina. If you'd like to refresh the appearance, lightly sand the surface and reapply a suitable oil or wood finish designed for outdoor use. This will help restore the rich tones and add an extra layer of protection.

By following these simple care steps, your Asian Acacia terrace boards will continue to provide beauty, warmth, and durability for years to come. Enjoy your outdoor space with confidence, knowing you’ve chosen a reliable, sustainable material.
