Water-Based Rêve™ Finish
Wood... The Pros and Cons! People that love nature are naturally drawn to wood products. Its texture and earthiness help us to feel grounded and comfortable. The fact that wood is natural and sustainable resource is another benefit as it does not add to our landfills or contribute poorly to our environment. Outdoor wood furniture has been popular since your grandparents sat in their front porch rocker or swing. Also, as we think about creating an outdoor room, many of our indoor furniture pieces are made from wood.
As outdoor products evolved, wood lost some of its appeal to the many synthetic, wicker, cast, resin or aluminum wood-look alikes which did not require the maintenance of natural woods. If you look around at outdoor furniture these days, many companies are trying to emulate the look of wood in their products.
Homeowners, designers or contractors who choose a beautiful grouping in the showroom do not have time in their busy schedules for regular maintenance... and they do expect their furniture to look great for many seasons, no matter what their climate. For the most part, they simply don't want grey wood by next summer!
Brazilian Cherry, unlike most woods, is naturally resistant to moisture, humidity, hot-dry-freezing or wet climate, salt, dust and dirt, making it perfect for outdoor use. However, even Brazilian Cherry, like all woods that go outside will experience expansion and contraction; checking (slight surface cracks) and greying. And now, there is a new water-based, eco-friendly finish for this durable and dense wood that requires no maintenance for three years and only little maintenance over its entire life... Rêve Finishes – Yours to experience!
Committed From Day One! From the beginning New River's R & D team was committed to finding a finish that would revolutionize the outdoor wood category. Our group of finish experts was dedicated to creating a new niche that would make the New River Casual Furniture Brand one to remember. The question was, what would it take to make astute and discerning customers take another look at wood outdoor furniture? The answer was obvious...
- 3-Year Finish Warranty
- Eco-Friendly
- Water-Based and Non-Toxic (Easy to Touch Up)
- Prevents Fading
- Prevents Checking, Splitting and Cracking
- Prevents Effects of Humidity, Rotting and Pests
- "Moves" with Woods' Natural Expansion and Contraction
- Innovative Designs and Color Options
For nearly three years, New River searched the world to find a high-tech, water-based and eco-friendly finish to use on Brazilian Cherry. Our new European partner's state-of-the-art, inclement weather-testing center did specific testing to arrive at the correct, patented formula for the water-based, "Rêve" finish.
Ask for New River Casual Furniture RÊVE finishes by name and enjoy outdoor wood furniture coupled with the beauty and durability of Brazilian Cherry and the long-term protection of Rêve Finishes with virtually no maintenance and a 3-Year Warranty. When compared to the cost of other wood products that don't offer a no-maintenance finish or choice of colors, Rêve protected outdoor furniture is truly a value.
